European Universities in Research and Innovation - People, Policies and Partnerships

This conference is to be hosted by the University of Antwerp, Belgium during 16-17 April 2015. The event will address both new opportunities for universities to increase their research capacity and impact in society, as well as the challenges and pressures facing universities in delivering excellent research outputs and educational programmes.  

The conference session will be organised along three main axes:

-the role of universities in educating and training researchers (the “People” dimension); 

-the increase in partnerships with other universities, research institutions and businesses to better respond to societal demands (the “Partnerships” dimension); 

-how policy frameworks create the conditions for regional transformation and foster innovation and competitiveness (the “Policies” dimension).
