Project description
Empowering rising researchers in Katowice 2024
In the face of escalating global challenges, EU TalentON Katowice 2024 emerges as a dynamic force for change. With environmental, societal, and technological crises on the rise, the need for innovative solutions from early-career researchers has never been more critical. In this context, the EU-funded EU TalentON project will launch a contest uniting over 100 young minds from across the EU to collaboratively tackle pressing issues during the Katowice – European Capital of Science 2024 proceedings. This four-day event empowers researchers through workshops, lectures, and cultural experiences. The challenge is to address global issues aligned with EU Missions. Culminating in a pitch to both jury and public, winning teams secure sponsored prizes.
Objective
EU TalentON Katowice 2024 - European Union Contest for early-career researchers (EU TalentON) is the contest for early career researchers. A pilot took place for the first time in Leiden – European Capital of Science 2022.
This event will challenge young talented researchers to find solutions contributing to the most pressing global issues. The four-day contest in 2024 will take place in Katowice in Poland. It will be one of the flag events during Katowice - European Capital of Science 2024 proceedings and will bring together more than 100 early career researchers from across EU and feature an extensive programme, co-created with academia, innovators and industry.
Divided into small teams, talented early career researchers will receive the necessary tools (such as workshops, lectures, master classes, personal guidance and cultural experiences) to create innovative and marketable solutions to challenges, which are based on EU Missions. At the end of the event, each team will pitch their solution to a professional jury and the public. Winners will receive sponsored prizes.
The EU TalentOn, directly contributes to the actions set out in the ERA Policy Agenda. Specifically, the contest helps bring science closer to citizens by inviting them to co-create solutions for our most pressing challenges.
