Dear colleagues,
ISC Intelligence in Science in association with the Irish Council Presidency in conjunction with Mr Seán Kelly MEP would like to thank you for your support and participation in “EU Science: Global Challenge, Global Collaboration (ES:GC2),” which took place at the European Parliament from the 4th to 8th of March 2013.
To capitalize on the successful conclusion of this five day event, we would like to extend a general invitation to the next “Global Challenge, Global Collaboration” Conference set to take place in 2014. This conference is scheduled in conjunction with the launch of Horizon 2020, the EU’s funding instrument for collaborative research and innovation beyond 2014. The aim of the conference is to increase international participation in Horizon 2020 by bringing together scientists, academics, leaders of industry and science policymakers from across the globe.
Building on the themes of ES:GC2, this conference will concentrate on Horizon 2020’s funding objectives for health, food security; secure and efficient energy; smart, green and integrated transport; inclusive, innovative and secure societies in addition to climate action, resource efficiency and use of raw materials. Throughout the conference, topics involving current international science policies will be revisited and developed in addition to future policy innovations and their implications.
We look forward to your participation in what is anticipated to be an informative and dynamic debate.
A five-day conference on “EU Science: Global Challenges, Global Collaboration” (ES:GC2) took place in the European Parliament, starting on March 4th, 2013, in Brussels. The conference brought together science policymakers, scientists and industry representatives from 100 different countries and placed EU research at the centre of the international response to global challenges. It was convened by ISC - Intelligence in Science, in association with the Irish Council Presidency and in conjunction with Mr Sean Kelly MEP and other Members of the European Parliament.
The centrepiece of the Conference was the 50 Year Roadmap for the Future of Medicine. To achieve long-term sustainability of health care systems substantial new concepts are required which have to be based on sound science. In order to ensure that these concepts will be available in time an interdisciplinary and international collaborative scientific effort is required.
