European Research Infrastructures for a Smarter Future
The Croatian Presidency of
the Council of the European Union cordially invites you to participate in the European
Research Infrastructures for a Smarter Future Conference to be held in Zagreb
on 18 and 19 March 2020 at the Šubićeva centre (Šubićeva ulica 29), in the
framework of the Future of Research Infrastructures in European Research
Area events.
Addressing the big challenges of
the 21st century, such as climate change, the increasing loss of biodiversity
and environmental quality, demographic changes, shaping the industrial and
digital transitions as well as ensuring the long-term sustainability of the
European quality of life requires a new ambition for European science.
As European Research
Infrastructures form the backbone of our competitiveness in science and
innovation, their quality and the ability to provide the needed services and
data largely determines our capacity to produce the new knowledge, innovation
and understanding that Europe needs to tackle the challenges we face. The
overall objective of the conference is to explore the potential of European
Research Infrastructures to make a meaningful impact on the European
strategic agendas and identify the ways in which this could be achieved. The
outcome of this high-level event will provide a new impetus for the European
research infrastructure policy, supporting full realisation of the potential of
the European Research Area to drive the necessary changes in our economy and
society.
The conference is divided into
three main blocks and concludes with a high-level panel identifying directions
for future European research infrastructure policy. The presentation of the
ESFRI White Paper on the future of European research infrastructures policy in
the opening plenary, with its key messages, will set the scene for the
discussions throughout the conference on:
- Building synergies between
sectoral investments in Research Infrastructures and the European
strategic agendas - The role of Research
Infrastructures in the mission-driven activities of Horizon Europe - Education and jobs – how
Research Infrastructures can shape the future? - European Research
Infrastructures for a smarter future – high-level policy panel
The Conference is open to all
participants. We kindly ask you to pre-register no later than 17th February
2020 via this
form. All pre-registered people will then receive details on the steps
required to finalise registration and accreditation. Registrations will be
