Research Infrastructures Enhancing EU R&I AI Continent

This event is jointly organised by the Mission of Switzerland to the EU, the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI), the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) and SwissCore: “In light of the discussions towards the next EU framework programme for research and innovation (FP10) and the second European Research Area (ERA) Policy Agenda 2025-2027, this event explores how Research Infrastructures (RIs) can play a decisive role in advancing Europe’s competitiveness and addressing the acute skills gap in the age of AI. Examples of leading European research and competence centres that are shaping the future of science will be presented: the PSI, part of the ETH domain in Switzerland, offering a unique array of large research infrastructures and highly competitive research activities in basic and applied sciences, and the EMBL, Europe’s only international life sciences research organisation and member of the European Intergovernmental Research Organisation Forum (EIROForum). In the panel the following questions will be addressed:

  • How can RIs be best leveraged within FP10 and the European Research Area to boost competitiveness?
  • How can research policy contribute to global competitiveness of Europe in the light of geopolitical shifts and rapid technology developments?
  • How can RIs help Europe to retain talent and provide valuable services to society?”

The programme and registration form are available in the event announcement on the Swisscore website.

Limecraft - Powerful workflows for video products

If you’ve never heard of Limecraft, you’re clearly not working in the media sector. Their SaaS platform provides integrated workflows for media management, scripted and unscripted TV, and subtitling and localisation. It is used by leading broadcasting companies – such as BBC, VRT, NPO… – and production firms of which De Mensen or Hotel Hungaria might ring a bell (at least if you are Belgian).

NCP Flanders went to Ghent to interview Maarten Verwaest, CEO and cofounder, about how he sees Horizon 2020. Limecraft is a partner in the MeMAD project, which is a collaborative RIA project submitted to an ICT call topic
