CONNECTS-UK is holding its launch event on 10 April 2024 at 17.30 GMT at Imperial College London and on-line.

CONNECTS-UK is a collaborative project conceptualised in 2022 by the scientific diasporas of Finland, France, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Netherlands, and Spain in the UK, together with Native Scientists, with the main goal to strengthen EU-UK scientific collaboration and research mobility. This project, funded by the European Union, will run until the end of 2026, an optimum timeframe following the UK successfully re-joining Horizon Europe.

This event will serve to present the activities and objectives of CONNECTS-UK to EU researchers in the UK, as well as to key stakeholders such as scientific attachés, universities, students, journalists, schools, and all those interested in the project.  

The afternoon will also offer an opportunity to listen to prestigious researchers, and engage with the CONNECTS -UK partners and sponsors. A networking reception will be offered after the event. The detailed agenda will follow shortly. 

A registration link with more information will follow, but if interested in joining, also on-line via streaming, please save the date now. As space in the auditorium of Imperial College is limited, the places will be reserved on a first come, first served basis. For those travelling from outside London, we will consider contributing to the cost of travel (bus, train, etc. tickets); further details to follow.
