On Wednesday, 13 May at 15:00, the Estonian Academy of Sciences will host a public lecture on “The Future of European Science.” The lecture will be given by Professor Jean-Pierre Bourguignon, who served as President of the European Research Council (ERC) 2014–2019 and as interim President from 2020–2021.
The event will be followed by a panel discussion. Panel discussion topics:
- What are the strengths and weaknesses of European science, and what is Estonia’s position?
- What should the European Union prioritize in order to remain competitive internationally, and what should guide Estonia?
- Should the European Union engage in international cooperation, and if so, what kind—especially with major powers such as the USA, China, and Russia — and what role should small countries like Estonia play in this?
For participation please fill in the registration form by May, 11.
The event will be held in English.
