The third edition of the European Research and Innovation Days was held online on 23 and 24 June 2021. This two-day event was organised by the European Commission and aimed at enhancing cooperation and discussion in the field of R&I by connecting policymakers, researchers, entrepreneurs, and the general public in Europe.

As Commissioner Mariya Gabriel underlined, this year’s edition was marked by the launch of Horizon Europe, the 2021 – 2027 EU R&I framework programme:

“The 2021 edition of the European Research and Innovation Days could not have come at a more important time. Together, we can recover from the coronavirus pandemic and ensure a green and digital future for everyone.”
