There will be plenary sessions and hub sessions organised around ten thematic hubs. Both have unlimited capacity.There will also be workshops and co-design sessions with a limited capacity for active participants.
  • plenary sessions: plenaries cover the biggest topics of the event, and are a space for all attendees to come together, watch inspiring speakers and have a front-row seat to hear the prize-winners announced for the Horizon Impact Award, EU Prize for Women Innovators, EIC Horizon Prize for Affordable High-Tech for Humanitarian Aid and the European Capital of Innovation Award.
  • hub sessions: hub sessions bring together the people at the forefront of science innovation around key themes to build links between important research and societal problems.
