Why the 2025 European R&I Days matter (and how Sploro plugs in)


Join Sploro at the heart of EU innovation policy in Brussels—where Horizon Europe, cascade funding, and deep-tech opportunities for women take centre stage. Discover why European R&I Days 2025 will shape the future of research, startups, and funding across Europe.

Innovation is not just happening in Europe’s big capitals. There’s a new wave rising in the south of Spain and Sploro is thrilled to be part of it! We’re proud to announce our partnership as official media partners for South Impact 2025, the event that’s putting Cádiz and southern Spain at the heart of Europe’s innovation conversation.

European Research & Innovation Events 2025
European Research and Innovation Days

This week (16–17 September), Brussels hosts the European Commission’s flagship European Research & Innovation Days—two days where policy, funding and innovation practice meet. If you work with Horizon Europe or cascade funding, this is where priorities turn into programmes.

Sploro will be at the heart of these conversations—engaging with partners, clients and stakeholders to translate EU policy signals into real innovation impact.

Policy signals to wath at R&D Days 2025

1. AI in Science Strategy

  • The European Commission is launching an ambitious AI in Science Strategy to accelerate the responsible use of AI across research and innovation.
  • Topics include access to compute, data, AI tools, skills, and ethical governance.
  • Earlier this year it ran two consultations: a Call for Evidence and a targeted questionnaire (both now closed).
  • Expect important sessions on how this links to the new EU AI rulebook and future research infrastructure.

2. Strategy for European Life Sciences

  • Life sciences are a core focus for EU competitiveness, from clinical research to biotech manufacturing and market access.
  • The EU is aligning future funding and policy with this strategy—especially important for health and biotech consortia.
  • The public consultation (Call for Evidence) is captured here: EU Life Sciences Strategy – Have Your Say (concluded), and the strategy page summarises scope and next steps.
  • If you’re planning health/biotech proposals, align with this direction of travel. (European Commission)
