We’re delighted that Aisling Cox, Research, Development & Innovation Administrator for the Elevate TU RISE Programme, and Dr.Martina Mullaney, Research Coordinator for at IADT for FilmEU, European University, had the opportunity to attend the European Research & Innovation Days 2025 in Brussels.
Over the two-day event, Aisling and Martina joined more than 20 insightful sessions exploring Europe’s competitiveness, start-up and scale-up strategies, European innovation, and the future of European research.
The event brought together policymakers, researchers, entrepreneurs, and innovators from across Europe — fostering collaboration and discussion on how research and innovation can drive sustainable growth and strengthen Europe’s global position.
We’re thrilled to have our representatives contributing to these important discussions and sharing their learnings with our wider research community.
