The European Commission’s Directorate-General for Research is organising the conference ‘Research Connection 2009 – networking our way to a research future’ in Prague, Czech Republic, on 7 and 8 May.

The event is intended for scientists, entrepreneurs and researchers looking to learn more about successful EU-funded research and funding opportunities and to meet reliable partners for new projects.

A variety of parallel sessions will cover the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) and its Thematic Areas. In addition, selected EU-funded projects will be exhibited in order to promote the networking and integration of research activities in Europe.

The Space session provides for insights into EU Space Research activities today and in the future. It is divided into two sub-sessions, titled “What do we do?” and “Where do we go?”. The moderator for „What do we do?” section is Dr. Marius-Ioan Piso, President and CEO of the Romanian Space Agency.
