ERA Symposium

The first Austrian ERA Symposium, dedicated to "unlocking the value of knowledge“,  combines two highly important topical areas in research and innovation policy: Open Science and Knowledge Valorisation. The event marks the launch of a new series of annual symposia in Austria addressing the new European Research Area (ERA).



The ERA symposium welcomes a broad range of actors from the Austrian science, research and innovation community, high-level European Commission representatives as well as interested guests from other ERA countries. The annual ERA symposia are part of the implementation of the Austrian National Action Plan for the ERA (2022-2025) which is based on the EU’s ERA Policy Agenda (2022-2024).



This year‘s ERA Symposium is organized in conjunction with the Tour des Capitales of the European Commission to promote the guiding principles of knowledge valorisation, and teams up with the Open Science Austria (OSA) Community Day. OSA is the Open Science Platform of the Universities Austria association (uniko).The event will thus provide an ideal opportunity for stakeholders from academia, business and civil society to engage with two core initiatives of the Austrian ERA Action Plan: Open Science and Knowledge Valorisation. It will also offer a forum for feedback on the first results of these initiatives and invites ideas for the next steps in their implementation.
