Join us in the heart of Brussels for the conference Transnational Science Cooperation: Fostering Collaborative Research in Europe and Poland on 23–24 June 2025.
Organised under the programme of the Polish Presidency of the Council of the European Union, this two-day event will bring together researchers, policy-makers and institutional leaders to examine the evolving landscape of international science cooperation — with a particular focus on Poland’s growing role within the European research ecosystem.
Monday, 23 June 2025
The conference will open on Monday, 23 June, with a high-level policy panel dedicated to aligning EU and national strategies to build a more cohesive and resilient European Research Area.
This will be followed by a timely discussion highlighting Poland’s emergence as a hub for international researchers. Later in the afternoon, attention will turn to the dynamics of brain circulation and talent mobility in global science, exploring both the challenges and opportunities in attracting and retaining research excellence.
The day will conclude with a Polish networking reception — an evening gathering offering space for informal exchange and cross-sector dialogue within the R&I community.
Tuesday, 24 June 2025
On Tuesday, 24 June, the conference will delve into the mechanisms underpinning international research collaboration.
We will begin with a session on the strategic role of grant agencies in fostering global scientific engagement.
The day will continue with focused discussions: one on advancing a truly innovative European Research Area, and another on empowering R&I collaboration through rethinking research management in the new ERA. The event will close with a keynote address reflecting on the effectiveness of national strategies in enabling successful international scientific cooperation.
The event is available as part of the project entitled "Strategy for the internationalization of Polish legal education and science" from the resources of the European Funds for Social Development: Action FERS.01.05 Skills in education.
Address: NCBR Office Brussels, Rue Belliard 40, 1040 Brussels
