Room A (tbc) |
How to stay on top – the management perspective on RM´s contribution to success KU Leuven has a longstanding history of success in the European framework programmes, having won more grants than any other university by mid Horizon Europe. This didn´t happen accidentally but is based on strategic management decisions i.a. on where and how to invest in internal support structures, incentives and turning learnings into action. |
|
Room B (tbc) | Science4Policy - Current S4P mechanisms in Austria & Europe Many Science4Policy instruments and structures have been established – some exist for a long time, others have been created just recently. This workshop brings together experiences with these different mechanisms, thereby allowing also to identify crucial challenges and formulate some learnings for future ambitions. |

The findings of this workshop should be included in the upcoming discussion about the Austrian ERA Action Plan (ERA-NAP). |

Room B (tbc) | Science4Policy – B2 Advancing Science4Policy interfaces With Science4Policy being used in many different policy arenas and new formats, it is reasonable to follow a more systematic approach in setting up, conducting, and evaluating, its interfaces.The ambition of this workshop is to lay the ground for an agenda that defines goals of effective advice mechanisms, and provides a way to achieve, and measure, these goals. Input by Thomas König (FORWIT) and panel discussion with the following speakers: |
