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.

STARGATE - Sustainable Aviation

The Stargate project obtained funding under the special Green Deal call of Horizon 2020, more in particular under the topic of “green ports and airports”.  It received the maximum score of the evaluators and was selected out of more than 40 projects. Stargate’s purpose is to prove that sustainable aviation is possible and happening. It focuses on the further decarbonization of the aviation industry, the improvement of local environmental quality and the stimulation of the modal split. Together with a consortium of 21 European partners with a diverse and rich expertise (airports, community partners, knowledge institutions, consultants, local governments, …), Brussels Airports takes the lead as lighthouse airport to develop and implement innovative solutions. Results that prove successful can be deployed at the fellow airports (Toulouse, Budapest, Athens). Over the course of the coming five years, the consortium will exchange knowledge to investigate and realize more than 30 concrete projects.
