Project description
Biggest gathering of scientists from around the world
Launched in 2004, the EuroScience Open Forum (ESOF) is a biennial, pan-European, general science conference dedicated to scientific research and innovation. It is the largest interdisciplinary meeting on science and innovation in Europe. Each conference delivers stimulating content and lively debate around the latest advancements and discoveries in the sciences, humanities and social sciences. It is one of the best opportunities for everyone from leading scientists and early-career researchers to business people and policymakers to find out more about how science is helping us advance today. The 9th edition will be held in the Italian city of Trieste in July 2020. The EU-funded ESOF2020 project will organise the conference, which will draw more than 4 000 participants.
Objective
The EuroScience Open Forum has been created in 2004 by EuroScience. It’s dedicated to scientific research and innovation and offers a unique framework for interaction and debate for scientists, innovators, policy makers, business people, science media and the general public. The 9th edition of ESOF will take place in Trieste (Italy) from the 5th to the 9th july 2020, while the “City in the city Festival” will take place from the 27th june to the 11th of july 2020.

This edition of the Forum will gather more than 4000 participants. Special effort will be dedicated to enhance the participation of people coming from the Central-Eastern European countries, with a target of plus 10% of participants.
The Scientific Programme is complemented by five other programmes:
- the Science for Policy/ Policy for Science Programme, which addresses policies on science for Europe;
- the Career Programme, which is geared specifically towards young European researchers and new future jobs;
- the Science to Business Programme, which addresses the involvement of the private sector in science and innovation and its dialogue with scientific research;
- the Media and Communication Programme, which targets media involvement in all forms with a specific agenda dedicated to science communication;
