Created by Euroscience, ESOF – Euroscience Open Forum – is the biennial pan-European meeting dedicated to scientific research and innovation. The ESOF2014 event to be held in Copenhagen, 21-26 June 2014 will bring together over 5,000 scientists; business leaders; senior EU and government officials; and international scientific media to discuss the best of European science and to address all of the current major global scientific challenges, including Energy, Climate Change and Health. Themes include “Material and Virtual World”, “Science, Democracy & Citizenship” to “The Global Resource Management”.

ESOF provides young researchers with a unique opportunity to interact with leading scientists from various scientific fields. With up to 1,000 young researchers from across Europe and beyond, ESOF2014 will give them the unique opportunity to expand their networks of international contacts and to establish important links with potential collaborators.

Various organisations, including the Danish Agency for Science, Technology and Innovation (DASTI), Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) in France and the Research Foundation Flanders (FWO) in Belgium offer travel grants to help young researchers who wish to attend ESOF2014. See the Euroscience website as well as the FWO website for more information on the current open calls.
