Webinar: Scientific Innovation and Growth
Knowledge rights 21 (KR21) is organising a webinar on 24 June 2024, which will focus on how the European Union can support research and scientific innovation in the new mandate. Welcome to attend.
The event will also include the launch of the KR21 EU Action Plan, which outlines 12 ways the EU can improve its support for research, and in turn the economy.
