Despite concerns about Europe’s ability to innovate, European universities and research institutions continue to be recognised for their scientific excellence. But while Europe continues to attract bright minds and produce scientific breakthroughs, it is failing to translate its scientific potential into marketable innovations. How can we maintain and enhance Europe’s scientific excellence while strengthening our capacity to innovate? Cordelia Schmid (INRIA), Peter Seeberger (MPI of Colloids and Interfaces), and Nicola Spaldin (ETH Zurich) discuss this question at the Hamburg Science Summit 2024.
