European Research and Innovation Days

European Commission

Project description

The European Research and Innovation Days, the flagship event of DG Research and Innovation, are the opportunity to hear from pioneering voices in R&I across the continent and beyond.  

Originally conceived in 2019 as a physical event, VO seamlessly handled the transition to make the conference fully digital in 2020 and 2021 in response to the Covid-19 crisis, constructing a tailor-made online platform with streaming, networking, and gaming capacities. We oversaw the design and creation of 5 specialised TV studios to stream sessions, as well as liaising with and training speakers to optimise their online sessions, and developing innovative features to maximise engagement from attendees.  

The 2021 edition also saw the creation of an interactive online exhibition to accompany the event, featuring inspiring stories of European researchers and innovators across written and audiovisual formats.  

 

Result

The European Research & Innovation Days is a perfect example of how we can reinvent ourselves each year to offer an exclusive experience to participants all over the world and allow them to contribute to shaping the future of Europe. The latest innovations, a process of cocreation, a true commitment to making the event sustainable, and a perfectly safe environment during covid reglementations, those are our key ingredients for making it happen! 

A 3-days event that gathered more than 250 speakers on site and remotely to offer 70 sessions on various subjects around Research and Innovation. Bringing together policymakers, researchers, industry representatives, and more to discuss, learn, exchange, and shape together the policies of tomorrow. 

After 3 years, the R&I community has grown from 8000 to 36000 people from 105 countries.
