The workshop will bring together scientists, EU officials and science policy experts, as well as representatives of the Southeastern European Network in Mathematical and Theoretical Physics (SEENET-MTP). The SEENET-MTP partner institutions aim at maintaining the established strategic partnership between leading scientific institutions and researchers from South-Eastern and Western European countries.
Confirmed participants Mr. Octavi Quintana-Trias, DG RTD, European Commission, Prof. Christoph Rossel, IBM-Zurich and President-elect of the EPS, Mr. David Lee, Secretary General EPS, Prof. Giorgio Rossi, Vice-Chair ESFRI, Prof. Sydney Gales, ELI-NP, Prof. Maciej Kolwas, former president of the EPS, Prof. Radu Constantinescu SEENET-MTP and University of Craiova), Prof. Goran Djordjevic (SEENET – MTP and University of Nis), and Prof. Denes Nagy.
We hope that you will be able to actively attend in the round table discussions on:
-”The role of the learned societies in the modern era of shared research infrastructures”
- “The role of smart specialization in the modern era of shared research infrastructures”
The organizers will appreciate very much the exact title of your talk/points as soon as it is possible.
The organizers will cover all the local expenses (accommodation and boarding), as well as travel costs at your request.
On a personal level, I shall be happy to welcome you in Sofia.
