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.
