The Office of the Vice President of Research at UVA will be hosting Dr. Florent Bernard, Counsellor for Research and Innovation to the Delegation of the European Union to the United States, and is planning a graduate student and early-career researcher roundtable on the afternoon of May 4 starting at 3:30 pm in the Rotunda.
The goal of the roundtable is to bring together graduate students and postdocs, particularly those with EU interests or connections, for a conversation on:
- Existing opportunities for U.S.–EU exchange, co-advising, and early-career programs
- Ideas for strengthening future pathways for transatlantic research careers
Dr. Bernard’s work focuses on strengthening transatlantic research partnerships and expanding collaboration between U.S. and European researchers, notably through the Horizon Europe research and innovation program.
This event will be particularly engaging for graduate students and postdocs whose work aligns with some of the specific areas (or clusters, as they call them) emphasized in the Horizon Europe program, broadly including:
- Health
- Culture and Creativity
- Civil Security
- Digital, Industry and Space
- Climate, Energy, and Mobility
- Food, Bioeconomy, Natural Resources
