In an era of rapid technological change and complex global challenges, scientific innovation with societal impact requires active participation and trust—not merely the communication of information. To achieve real progress, science must be accessible and understandableand, above all, it must always BE RELEVANT.

To bridge this gap, EULiST—in keeping with its core mission of connecting society and technology—is proud to present the interactive MAKE SCIENCE MATTER conference, taking place on October 15 in Brussels.

The event brings together three interconnected forces that create tangible societal impact from different perspectives:

The European Commission: Providing high-level policy guidance, strategic vision, and funding.

European Universities: Conducting rigorous research, promoting technology transfer, and transforming regional challenges into “living labs.”

European Cities and Regions: Serving as essential forces for local implementation, social cohesion, and resilience.

Don’t just take a seat. Take part.

This is not a traditional conference where you simply sit and listen. Real impact requires active involvement and a multi-directional dialogue. Your role as a co-creator begins the moment you register!

Through our digital interactive area, you can contribute challenges, best practices, and suggestions. Your input will feed directly into our live discussions and actively shape the final EULiST Brussels Statement—a community-driven manifesto designed to help focus future investment precisely on the areas where Europe needs it most.

Join us in demonstrating the tangible societal benefits of collaborative innovation.
