On Tuesday, December 8, the 2nd panel debate of United Universities of Europe took place on Youtube under the topic “Vocations and Competencies in the Age of European Universities”.
Funded under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions, the European Researchers’ Night is a Europe-wide public event that takes place simultaneously in 29 countries and brings researchers closer to the public. It showcases the diversity of science and its impact on citizens’ daily lives, stimulating interest in research careers – particularly among young people.
On Nov 10th, we submitted a proposal entitled EELISA innoCORE (EELISA INNOvation and COmmon REsearch Strategy) in response to the specific call of the topic “Support for the Research and Innovation Dimension of European Universities” (Horizon 2020 – Science with and for Society program). All the members of the EELISA alliance will participate in this coordinated action.
