European Research and Innovation Days 2025

Mark your calendars! The European Research & Innovation (R&I) Days 2025 will take place on 16–17 September 2025 at The Square in Brussels. The sixth edition of this flagship event of the European Commission will bring together policymakers, researchers, business leaders and the wider innovation community to discuss how research and innovation drives Europe’s competitiveness, sustainability and industrial leadership, underpinning the EU’s top priorities. 

This year’s edition, “Together, towards a Research and Innovation Union”, will come at a pivotal moment of discussions on the EU’s next long-term budget and key policy actions such as the Startup and Scaleup Strategy, the European Life Sciences Strategy, the AI in Science Strategy and the European Innovation and European Research Area Acts. 

Join us for high-level discussions, engaging panels and networking opportunities that will shape the future of EU research and innovation. Whether in Brussels or online, be part of the conversation and help steer Europe’s R&I agenda!
