Overcoming EU countries’ inequalities in science

The Marie Curie Alumni Association, in collaboration with EuroScientist, is hosting a round table about overcoming inequalities in science in the European Research Area on 15th March 2016.

Confirmed speakers include:

• Octavi Quintana-Trias (EC – DG Research and Innovation)
• Amaya Moro-Martín (Euroscience)
• Kieron Flanagan (Manchester Business School)
• Katrien Maes (LERU)

With this webinar, we’ll bring you unique perspectives on the dialogue surrounding important aspects of science and policy that could affect the future of European research.

The debate will be focused on the present differences in funding within European countries and within Europe. The resulting brain drain is creating areas of excellence in science and huge inequalities among countries. Is this result affordable and sustainable? What is the vision of the European Research Area for the next years? What are the implications? These points and further questions will be discussed by the panellists.

WHEN

Tuesday, March 15, 2016 from 5:30 PM to 6:30 PM (CET)
