The European Commission organises the European Research and Innovation Days (R&I Days) sixth edition on 16 and 17 September 2025 onsite in Brussels and online. Since 2019 this event brings together policymakers, researchers, business leaders and the wider innovation community to discuss how research and innovation drives Europe’s competitiveness, sustainability and industrial leadership, underpinning the EU’s top priorities.
This year’s edition, “Together, towards a Research and Innovation Union”, will come at a pivotal moment of discussions on the EU’s next long-term budget and key policy actions such as the Startup and Scaleup Strategy, the European Life Sciences Strategy (more information on the consultation which closes on 17 April 2025 here), the AI in Science Strategy and the European Innovation and European Research Area Acts.
All information related to the R&I Days (programme, sessions, speakers, registration …) can be consulted in the run up to the event on this webpage. Subscription to their newsletter is possible here.
We offer news and event updates, covering all domains and topics of Horizon Europe, Digital Europe & EDF (and occasionally, for ongoing projects, Horizon 2020).

The MareGraph project, ‘Towards an Interoperable Marine Knowledge Graph’, obtained funding under the Digital Europe topic ‘OPEN-AI – Public Sector Open Data for AI and Open Data Platform’. The project will increase the semantic, technical, and legal interoperability of three selected high-valued datasets (HVDs) all maintained by the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ), which is one of the four partners of the project. This will allow the onboarding of essential marine datasets in the Common European Data Spaces. As such MareGraph will provide a structural component in the digital transition of the marine landscape. The numerous impacts of the project will benefit our seas globally in old and new ways to come.
