This conference, organised by Science|Business, will highlight the opportunities to strengthen the European Research Area and explore how entities, researchers, and innovators can benefit most from the EU's research framework based on excellence and respect for differences. It will give a specific focus on the maintenance, construction, and integration of Research Infrastructures (RI) into the broader EU RI fleet, aiming to create a unified and cohesive European research environment.

Panel discussions will explore national differences in research and innovation policy and practices across Southeast Europe, highlighting successful strategies and identifying areas for improvement. Another major focus in the conference will be how the EU and Southeast European countries can work together to address the 'brain drain' by discussing strategies to make the region more attractive to researchers.

The conference will provide a forum for discussing policies and best practices and will be an excellent opportunity to engage with key decision-makers from the EU and Southeast European research and innovation communities.
