This breakfast event will be an occasion to share and discuss the results of an EUA project about the role of universities in regional innovation ecosystems, building on in-depth case studies of nine universities in different regional contexts, with a different history and approaches to innovation. The event will showcase the various ways in which universities react to societal and technological change and contribute to innovation processes, identify challenges and opportunities and provide a basis for a European-wide exchange on the topic.

In the middle of the negotiations on the future EU funding programmes and two months ahead of the European elections, this is also a timely opportunity to reflect about the role and the interplay of various actors at local, regional, national and European level in fostering innovation and create a regulatory and funding framework enabling universities and their partners to fully unleash their innovation potential.

Registration is free of charge and the deadline is 1 March 2019.
