Scheduled speakers are subject to change.

This year’s stakeholder event will feature an exciting speaker line-up from industry, academia, research technology organisations (RTOs) and EU institutions. With the European Commission (EC) communication on the Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) released in May and the overall structure of Horizon Europe, this year’s stakeholder event is happening at a critical moment in the policy cycle. Participants will have ample opportunity to exchange with key representatives and voice their priorities and expectations for Horizon Europe.
