The Hungarian STEM Platform Conference, hosted among the programs of the Hungarian Presidency within the European Union, will serve as a key platform for dialogue between policymakers, industry leaders, academic experts, and international STEM organizations. The conference aims to advance R&D, promote STEM/STEAM education, and foster collaboration among universities, industries, and governments (triple helix model). With the support of the EU STEM Coalition, the event will address the critical role of STEM in tackling global challenges and building a sustainable, competitive Europe.
The conference aims to promote the importance of a multi-stakeholder approach to maximise the societal impact of brain research, to gather feedback on challenges and best practices in collaboration, and to discuss ways to foster effective and dynamic pan-European research and innovation collaboration.
