In the context of the 2022 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP27), taking place in November in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, research & innovation stakeholders, including EUA, are holding a joint event on ‘Interdisciplinarity for the Net-Zero transition’ on Thursday, 3 November, from 14.00 to 17.00 CEST.

You can now register for this online event, which is free and open to all.

During three sessions in the course of the afternoon, panel discussions will show the importance of acting together, presenting concrete interdisciplinary actions for the Net-Zero Transition on three main topics:

• The vision of research funders and universities.
• Policy and the international perspective.
