The centrepiece was a public conference on "Towards a Futureproof European Research Area", which opened with a keynote by renowned physicist Robert Dijkgraaf and featured a rich panel discussion with Barbara Prainsack, Emilija Stojmenova, Caroline Sutton and Krzysztof Pyrc.
The day closed on a celebratory note, with Nobel laureate Christiane Nüsslein-Volhard delivering the laudation for this year's Madame de Staël Prize, awarded to Professor Maria Leptin.
Advanced materials power everything from clean energy to electronics, transport and healthcare, and they're at the heart of Europe's push for strategic autonomy. But with global demand rising and critical raw material supplies under pressure, can Europe really secure its own footing?
Join us for a free, interactive webinar with Andrew Barry (UCL), Nicole Grobert (University of Oxford), Olli Ikkala (Aalto University & Co-Chair of the SAPEA Working Group), and Rafał Łukasik (Member of the Group of Chief Scientific Advisors).
This is the first in a series.
