This event is jointly organised by the Hungarian presidency of the Council of the EU and the General Secretariat of the Council: The aim of this event is to discuss and share good practices in European research and innovation collaboration at the institutional, national and EU levels. During two panel discussions, we will look into policy measures to overcome fragmentation in the European Research Area (ERA) and increase participation in the EU Research & Innovation Framework Programme. We will also examine the role of excellent research support in improving participation in framework programmes.
The event will bring together national and EU policymakers, leaders of Research Performing Organisations (RPO) and of Research Support Services from ERA countries, representatives of associations of research managers, liaison officers and many other stakeholders.

The YoPA project, ‘a youth-centred preventive action approach towards co-created implementation of socially and physically activating environmental interventions’ obtained funding from Horizon Europe’s Health Cluster. The project addresses the multifaceted challenges of physical inactivity and health inequalities through a unique participatory approach. The project places teenagers between 12 and 18 years old in vulnerable situations at the forefront of the intervention process. The Institute of Tropical Medicine is a partner in the project and will conduct a Realist Evaluation to understand how youth co-creation contributes to improved adolescent health and well-being in four cities in Denmark, Netherlands, Nigeria and South Africa. By integrating its results and sharing its approach in an open access Toolbox, ITM aims to contribute to fostering sustainable, youth-led solutions for healthier urban environments.
