The ERC is planning a number of events in 2026 to celebrate cutting-edge scientific discoveries
The European Research Council (ERC) is planning a number of scientific events in 2026. The events will be useful to everyone who is interested in EU funding, in particular, participation in the Horizon Europe ERC calls.
ERC Annual Conference: Frontier research for One Health
Date: January 28, 2026
Time: 8.30-18.00 CET
Place: Covent Garden, Place Rogier 16, Brussels (25th floor) and online
Language: English
Registration is here.
Human, animal, and environmental health are inseparably linked – making the One Health approach vital for today’s global challenges. From antimicrobial resistance and the COVID-19 pandemic to climate-driven disease shifts and environmental degradation, tackling these threats requires bold, interdisciplinary research that harnesses the power of artificial intelligence.
This conference will bring together leading scientists, policymakers and stakeholders to showcase how ERC-funded frontier research is tackling pressing global challenges through the lens of One Health. It will highlight how cutting-edge discoveries can drive real-world solutions, shape policy and foster collaboration across disciplines – turning scientific breakthroughs into tangible impact for society and the environment.
American Association for the Advancement of Science Annual Meeting 2026
Date: February 12-14, 2026
Time: 8.00-20.30 (MT) / 16:00-4:30 (CET)
Place: Phoenix, AZ
Language: English
The event celebrates discovery and embraces the challenge of implementing science and policy by examining evidence-based policy innovation. The theme ‘Science @ Scale’ aims to bring communities of scientists, policymakers, and citizentry to work together and explore how science and policy can develop at scale for the benefit of society.
In parallel to the event presentations will be given by Martin Penny and Celine Peroni at the University of Arizona and Arizona State University.
