One of the events during Croatia’s presidency of the Council of the European Union is scientific conference "European Research Infrastructures for a smarter future" which will be held online on 15th of May 2020.

This videoconference is an adapted version of the conference with the same title initially planned to take place in Zagreb on 18th and 19th March hosted by HR PRES (Ministry of Science and Education) in cooperation with European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI).

The overall objective of the videoconference is to explore the potential of European Research Infrastructures to make a meaningful impact on the European strategic agendas. The outcome of this high-level digital event will provide a new impetus for the European research infrastructure policy, supporting full realisation of the potential of the European Research Area to drive the necessary changes in our economy and society.

The videoconference will provide a platform for discussion and dialogue between policy, research and industry stakeholders on the changes that are necessary to address the big challenges of our times. It will also increase the visibility of opportunities provided by Research Infrastructures and promote partnership between business and academia.
