The 1st EuroScience Policy Forum takes place online on June 29th and June 30th. OSUN members, faculty, students are warmly welcomed to register for free and take part in conference sessions. OSUN members are strongly encouraged to attend the session on Funding, Freedom, and Frameworks, featuring Liviu Matei, OSUN Vice Chancellor and CEU Provost, and co-organized by CEU, University of Vienna and the Vienna Science and Technology Fund.
To be sustainable, academia must adapt to changing societal demands, but without losing its heart and soul. The 1st EuroScience Policy Forum on Sustainable Academia will examine whether the future can offer the necessary diversity of knowledge creation and dissemination, while continuing to provide a sufficiently stimulating work environment for its teachers and researchers and ensuring the resources required to respond to the challenges of tomorrow. Today’s modern societies largely benefit from the knowledge and innovation created decades ago in a context of more open funding, less tightly structured research environments and a less intense focus on immediate impact.
The 1st EuroScience Policy Forum, with its four partners EuroScience, The Stockholm Trio University Alliance, The Wellcome Trust, and the University of Vienna together with the Vienna Science and Technology Fund (WWTF) will discuss the effects of changing societal expectations on academic institutions and identify potential new pathways to a more sustainable academia in the future.
Participation is free but registration is required.
