EAIC Summit 2026 - Future of Funding in Europe

The EAIC Summit 2026 is taking place on 3 November 2026 at the Residence Palace in Brussels, in partnership with leading associations and stakeholders across the EU.

Policymakers and industry leaders in the EU R&I ecosystem will come together for a day of focused discussions, expert panels, and networking opportunities, exploring the latest trends and developments in research, innovation, and EU funding.
COST, as one of the supporting partners, will be there!

As the final design of Europe’s next Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) funding takes shape, now is the time for Europe’s research, innovation, and industrial community to come together to discuss how the MFF should be implemented in practice. Rather than producing a report or formal recommendations, the event is designed as an interactive platform for open, practical discussion.
Through a series of live sessions and moderated exchanges, participants will challenge assumptions, share experiences, and explore fresh approaches to making EU funding work on the ground.​
