Description
On Friday, February 21st, 2020 in Brussels, the first brainstorming meeting of European RIs took place with the aim to form a collaboration and tackle HE missions together.
The meeting can be summarized as follows:
- A representative of each invited RI network gave a 20-minute presentation, reflecting how the network could support research under HE for the Missions and Global Challenges.
- The LEAPS presentations were based on a position paper that was drafted on the LEAPS approach on mission based research.
- A common discussion followed, in which the participants defined the mission-oriented topics that RI networks will address together. Further, the possibility to widen the discussion to additional RI networks was contemplated.
- During the afternoon, the participants were divided into working groups with the aim to brainstorm on specific collaboration topics. Five working groups were formed and later reported on:
- Cancer
- Soil Health and Food
- Climate-neutral and Smart Cities
- Healthy Oceans, Seas, Coastal and Inland Waters
- Adaptation to Climate Change incl. Societal Transformation
