boo euroCRIS MM 2025 Leuven

About

Two years after a successful Spring 2023 membership meeting was held in Brussels, euroCRIS is pleased to announce its return to Belgium for the Spring 2025 Membership Meeting (MM2025). The event will be held at the Provinciehuis Vlaams-Brabant.

The meeting, hosted by the Department of Work, Economy, Science, Innovation and Social Economy of the Flemish Government, will take place from Tue May 13 to Thu May 15, 2025. As usual at euroCRIS meetings, the CERIF Tutorial and the Welcome Reception will be held on Tuesday afternoon, to be followed by (among others) a National Session on Day I (Wed May 14) and a number of contributions from euroCRIS members on Day II (Thu May 15).

This MM2025 will also see a session organised by the AI4CRIS working group. This session devoted to Artificial Intelligence in the area of Research Information Management will include specific presentations and an update on the work of the euroCRIS-led group.
