Euroscience Open Forum 2012

The main goal of this session is to initiate discussions among different generations of researchers on the challenges of transforming economies and societies in Southeast-European countries.
In this context, two challenging domains will be particularly discussed:

1. Perspectives for career development within Science and Technology (S&T)
2. Intra- and interregional collaborations.

The expected results are to:

1. Challenge the Governments in Southeast Europe to respond with more clear and concrete statements on their policies in the field of S&T;
2. Open new vistas for scientific and technological co-operations in the European Research Area.

The session will include short reports (5 min.) of pre-ESOF meetings in different countries followed by a discussion.
