This event looks at how environmental research contributes to Europe’s competitiveness, resilience, strategic autonomy and security. The programme aims to combine high-level policy reflections, examples of research impact and a discussion on the future direction of European environmental research. It ends with a networking reception marking the 25th anniversary of the Partnership for European Environmental Research (PEER).

The discussions and presentations will focus on the role of environmental research and innovation in addressing climate change, biodiversity loss, ecosystem degradation and pollution as wider risks to Europe’s economy, supply chains and long-term prosperity. 

Speakers include representatives from PEER member institutes, the European Commission, the European Environment Agency and research organisations across Europe. Registration is free of charge but mandatory because places are limited. Interested persons can register via the event form (before 2 November).
