The registration for the European Research and Innovation Days (R&I Days) sixth edition, organised by the European Commission on 16 and 17 September 2025 (onsite in Brussels and online) is now open.

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.

Luciad - Geospatial software for mission-critical operations

Founded in 1999, Luciad serves clients in Europe, Asia and the Americas. Though it recently was acquired by Hexagon Geospatial, they kept an agile SME mindset. Thousands of end users work directly with Luciad’s geospatial applications, and major systems integrators (think Airbus Defense and Space, Lufthansa Systems, NATO, Thales…) incorporate its software in their own products.

NCP Flanders went to Leuven to interview Frederic Houbie, the Research Projects Manager at Luciad, about how he sees Horizon 2020. Luciad is a partner in the MARISA project, which is a collaborative RIA project submitted to an ICT call topic
