On September 18-19, Brussels will host the “European Research Area: Fostering Greater Integration. Advancing Competitiveness” Conference. The ERIC Forum will be present with a stand, representing the commitment and contributions of all ERICs in advancing the ERA Policy Agenda.
 
The European Research Area (ERA) embodies the vision of creating a single, borderless market for research, innovation, and technology across the EU—an ambition to which the ERICs have contributed since their inception.
 
In recognition of this, the ERIC Forum is proud to attend this key ERA Conference, with a dedicated stand, along with the participation of Antje Keppler, Chair of the ERIC Forum, and Jana Pavlic-Zupanc, Coordinator of the ERIC Forum 2 Project.
 
For the event, the Chair of the ERIC Forum has recorded an interview highlighting the role of ERICs in the European Research Area and its policy agenda. The full interview will be available on our website starting on September 19th, while a shorter version is already available on our YouTube channel.
