A Science|Business Widening public conference, hosted by University of Montenegro
The EU’s strategic agenda reflects the challenge of keeping dual perspectives in balance – from managing the causes and effects of multiple crises, to implementing the agreed goals such us the Enlargement, a priority also of the current trio presidency of the Council (Poland, Denmark, Cyprus), towards both South Eastern, and Eastern Europe.
Nonetheless, and to paraphrase JFK’s time-honoured comment, the way forward may not be to ask what Brussels can do for the region, but rather what the region can do for – and, more importantly, with – Brussels in the years to come. Put simply, creating European added value through R&I – whether for resilience, preparedness, competitiveness or sustainability – has necessarily become a two-way street. In parallel, it now becomes imperative to understand not only where the EU’s collaborative R&I instruments are already generating impact in South-East Europe (and how), but also the region’s own assets and success stories in fostering science-based ecosystems that can strengthen the European Research, Innovation and Education Areas.
On October 21, Science|Business organises its first-ever event in Montenegro – in line with the ministerial meeting of the EU WB Steering Platform on Research and Innovation – to debate the way forward, informed by “living” case studies of R&I in action. The public conference brings together leaders and decision makers from the region and beyond, and from the worlds of science, policy, industry and finance, to air bold policy ideas, share good practices and develop recommendations to optimise the regional impact of EU instruments in the years ahead.
