Foundations of tomorrow’s R&I landscape
Throughout the conference, participants delved into best practices and valuable insights that will contribute laying the foundations of tomorrow’s R&I landscape. During a first dynamic walk-and-talk session, representatives from several pilot II Alliances addressed the human capital component of SwafS projects, including the gender equality dimension and the reform of research assessment. The walk-and-talk was followed up by a panel discussion with all SwafS projects representatives and other participants.
Joint R&I strategies and policies
The second session, also taking the form of a walk-and-talk, focused on joint R&I strategies and policies, as well as on shared infrastructure. The following panel discussion was the occasion for pilot II Alliances to reflect on lessons-learned and challenges, with a special emphasis on the ways forward for SwafS projects.
The event facilitated exchanges between Alliances and external stakeholders, including distinguished academics and European policy deciders, exploring diverse models and pathways to excellence within the European R&I ecosystem.
