Coming Up Next – The ERA SHUTTLE project is running the first of the two planned study visits, in Germany’s Berlin-Adlershof Technology Park Berlin Adlershof – Science at Work – Germany‘s Leading Location for Research, Business and Media. The visit is hosted by ERA-Shuttle partner Steinbeis Wissens- und Technologietransfer GmbH Home from 2nd to 4th December 2024.
This is an invitation-only visit designed for research managers and high-level decision makers at our ERA-Shuttle academic partners and friends: the Universities of Split, Gdansk, Malta and Odessa. Participants will visit historical sites in Berlin-Adlershof, as well as two innovative research institutes: the Ferdinand-Braun-Institut (Leibnitz Institute for ultra-high-frequency research) and the Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -Prüfung (National materials testing office) BAM – Home .
On the first day, participants can expect presentations and a moderated discussion addressing talent retention – particularly as it relates to our ERA-Shuttle partner universities. Our invited speakers from the University of Split, WISTA Management GmbH, the University of Bologna and the Humboldt University of Berlin will give us food for thought.
On the afternoon of the second day, we open our programme to the public. Steinbeis will host and moderate speakers from the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences, University of Gdansk, WISTA Management GmbH, Steinbeis Wissens- und Technolgietransfer GmbH, CERIC-ERIC. Our focus will be on fostering innovation ecosystems in a southern- or eastern European context. If you are in Berlin on the afternoon of 3rd December, you are welcome to register for the public event here: Steinbeis Dialog@Adlershof
On the final day, it’s “just family”: ERA-Shuttle staff will use a world-café format to consolidate what we have learned ahead of the second study visit to Turku, planned for 2025 or 2026.
