EuroScience Open Forum (ESOF) 2024

• February 16, 2024

EuroScience Open Forum (ESOF) 2024 will take place from June 12 to June 15, 2024, in Katowice, Poland.

The EuroScience Open Forum is a biennial meeting designed to offer the scientific community a platform for interdisciplinary and intersectional debate about scientific culture, scientific research, and innovation. It is created for society’s benefit and carried out with society’s participation.

Goal of the conference
The main goal of the ESOF2024 conference is to explore the connections between science and society, the conditions for conducting research, and their impact on society. We aim to stimulate debate on social changes related to science and analyse the social, cultural, and economic consequences of scientific breakthroughs at regional, national, European, and global levels. In the face of global challenges and to enhance international scientific cooperation, scientists want to discuss science as a factor of change in our lives and how life changes science.

The programme includes lectures, seminars, a debate, workshops, poster presentations and exhibitions, interactive sessions, and a wide array of public engagement forms. The theme for ESOF 2024 is: Life changes science. 

Katowice will host Europe’s and the world’s leading personalities in the world of science, academic researchers, representatives of public and non-public institutions supporting science, business people, representatives of media, and those interested in the role of science in the contemporary world. 

ESOF2024 is centred around the six main areas corresponding to the biggest challenges science is currently facing:

1. Energy Transition
2. Sustainable Environment
3. Cultural Identity and Societal Transformation
4. Changes Within Scientific Excellence
5. Healthy Society
6. Digital Transformation
