Within the context of the development of the European Research Area and the European Higher Education Area, there is a growing need to create the necessary conditions to attract and retain well trained and highly
motivated researchers by enhancing their career prospects in order to enhance Europe’s competitiveness on the world stage.
The attractiveness of research careers is a key element for the creation of an open, transparent European labour market for researchers and to enhance Europe’s competitiveness in this area. The European Presidency Conference EUR Future: "European Researchers of Tomorrow – Crossing the
Borders of Academia and Industry" will underline the need and benefits of co-operation between academia and industry.
The aim of the conference is to highlight the importance of the promotion of young researchers for
Europe and to effectively document and increase Europe’s attractiveness for scientific talent. The main goal is to identify the successful approaches already used in the promotion of young scientists through cooperation between companies, universities and research institutions, to describe conceivable models for future cooperation and to suggest possible ways for including these models in EU funding.
Through a mix of strategic plenary presentations and practical workshop sessions the German Presidency conference aims to make a significant contribution to the implementation of a strategy in favour of the creation of a European labour market for researchers.

Due to Commission and Federal Financing, participation at the conference
is free of charge.
