EU R&I Days

European Research and Innovation Days 2020

The European Commission's annual flagship event, European Research and Innovation Days brings stakeholders together to shape the future of Europe's research and innovation landscape.

Adjusted to accommodate challenges posed by the unprecedented global crisis, the three-day event will continue as planned on 22nd-24th September 2020, but will now go ahead as a virtual event. Interactive sessions will allow participants to provide input on how research and innovation policy and funding can propel Europe's recovery and lay the path for a green, digital and resilient future. 

Building on last year's event, the 2020 edition will have three days of intensive policy co-designing with thought-provoking panels and matchmaking opportunities. As the event falls just before the launch of Horizon Europe and an enhanced European Research Area, the event will serve as a unique opportunity to discuss how R&I will benefit the future of Europe. 

This year will also feature 'Science is Wonderful' - a series of virtual fun activities for friends, families and classes to join in order to enjoy science experiments online. 

Registration is now open, find more information and instructions on how to register here.
