Hmmm… ever wondered…?
Why is art essential for our well-being? How is the EU focusing on the needs of young cancer survivors? Why is soil so important to Europe’s future? What is the EU’s strategic autonomy and how will it make Europe more resilient? Everyone’s already talking about climate change, do my thoughts matter?
If any of these questions intrigue you or have ever crossed your mind, then this event is for you!
What are the European Research and Innovation Days?
In a nutshell: it’s two days of discussions & workshops to create concrete solutions to Europe’s current challenges.
The event brings together citizens, policymakers, researchers, and entrepreneurs to discuss and shape the future of research and innovation in Europe and beyond.
We need YOUR creative ideas to increase Europe's resilience and strategic autonomy and explore how research and innovation play a crucial role in all of this.
This is your chance to engage in the new European Innovation Agenda, the European Year of Youth, the richness of European cultural creativity, the EU Missions, and many more topics.
Who’s going to be there?
Ever wonder who’s behind the mobility program you’re participating in? Lucky for you, Sophia Eriksson Waterschoot, the EU’s Director for Youth, Education, and Erasmus+ will be one of the participants.
What are Youth Ambassadors and how can I become one? Get to know Louise Flensborg, a PhD student working with marine biodiversity.
Check out the full list of confirmed speakers and get ready to be amazed by the wealth of knowledge and experience right at your fingertips!
What’s on the program?
With two days filled with policy discussions, awards, and workshops, you can dive deep into a variety of subjects. Some examples:
- “Building sustainable and resilient food systems in times of crisis” and,
- “Education and Innovation for Skills Development: empowering the next generation” and,
-
“EU Mission on Cancer: developing a science to
policy ecosystem for cancer control”
- And tons more!
