Description

This symposium brings together the LIV.INNO Centre for Doctoral Training and the EuPRAXIA community to explore how innovation and sustainability are reshaping fundamental research, medicine, electronics, the environment, and energy.

Scientists from across Europe will present highlights and advances in both the accelerator science and data intensive science fields and the enormous impact these have had on science and society. They will also offer unique insight into current research programmes and outline exciting plans for the future.

LIV.INNO’s focus on efficient data usage, computational optimisation, and experiment design aligns directly with EuPRAXIA’s mission to create more energy-efficient, resource-responsible research infrastructures. Together, these programmes demonstrate how next-generation researchers can build not only groundbreaking technologies, but also long-term, sustainable career pathways across high-tech sectors. This event celebrates a shared commitment to training innovators who will shape the future of sustainable, high-impact science.

The symposium will also offer an opportunity for potential new partners to present their research and to network with current staff, fellows, and collaborators to start a dialogue for future partnerships.

Registration deadline: 31 May 2026
