European Research and Innovation Days 2025

16 - 17 September 2025

The European Research & Innovation (R&I) Days 2025 will take place on 16–17 September 2025 at The Square in Brussels. This sixth edition of the European Commission’s flagship event will convene policymakers, researchers, business leaders, and the broader innovation community to explore how research and innovation enhance Europe’s competitiveness, sustainability, and industrial leadership, aligning with the EU’s strategic priorities.​

Themed “Together, towards a Research and Innovation Union,” this year’s event coincides with pivotal discussions on the EU’s forthcoming long-term budget and significant policy initiatives, including the Startup and Scaleup Strategy, the European Life Sciences Strategy, the AI in Science Strategy, and the European Innovation and Research Area Acts.​

Attendees can anticipate high-level discussions, engaging panels, and networking opportunities designed to shape the future of EU research and innovation. Whether participating in person in Brussels or online, stakeholders are encouraged to join the conversation and influence Europe’s R&I agenda.​
