Making Europe the epicenter of global scientific talent

Making Europe the epicenter of global scientific talent Cecilia Van Cauwenberghe explores investment in scientific minds, aiming to build Europe’s future by reflecting on Commissioner Zaharieva’s vision for research and innovation that seeks to establish Europe as the epicenter of global scientific talent. Europe is at a focal point in its ambition to redefine the global research landscape. Commissioner Ekaterina Zaharieva, recently appointed to lead the European Commission’s Startups, Research and Innovation portfolio, has untapped an emphatic strategy designed to strengthen Europe’s role as a dynamo of talent, knowledge, and innovation. Essential to this agenda is an increased commitment to nurturing researchers, particularly early-career scientists and displaced talent, while reinforcing collaboration across adjacent fields and disciplines.
