Aim
Europe faces major societal challenges. The EC is addressing these challenges in the forthcoming research programme Horizon Europe, the world's largest research programme. Research-based knowledge is more crucial than ever to ensure the sustainable development of businesses and communities in line with the SDGs.
The EU research programmes offer great opportunities for Norwegian businesses, as well as the public and non-profit sectors. It is important to help shape the content of these research programmes by actively participating in the European debate with clear positions and strategic indications.
NTNU and SINTEF are dedicated to European research collaboration and want to mobilize Norwegian actors to increase their involvement in European research programmes. By working together, we increase the likelihood of succeeding in solving many of the shared challenges faced by the citizens of Europe and the rest of the world.
The NTNU and SINTEF European Strategy Summit 2020 will provide opportunities for Norwegian stakeholders to deepen dialogues and work across sectors and disciplines to define common views and priorities that are relevant in their field. Networking is an integral part of the event. Mobilizing and engaging different stakeholders will ensure that we create the best possible picture of Norway’s and Norwegian interests so it can be used to help define future priorities as well as strengthen Norway’s position in the Brussels arena.
