This year marks the 25th anniversary of EuroScience. Since its creation in 1997 EuroScience has shaped science in Europe through the organisation of 10 successful ESOF editions, its involvement in the creation of the European Research Council, the formulation of the Charter for Research and its role in the development of Responsible Research and innovation.

25 years also represent a long period of time in which science and society have evolved, interests and needs have shifted and the European dimension is more present than ever. Major global crises such as the Covid-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine and the accelerating climate change have shown a wide range of issues to be addressed in the scientific community as well as in the interactions between science and the wider society.

With this in mind, the new EuroScience Governing Board met on October 6th in Paris to launch the strategic re-orientation process of EuroScience.  This process aims to keep EuroScience in the Zeitgeist and find keys to contribute to the advancement of science, the improvement of scientific practice and create a fair, healthy, open and inclusive scientific community that acts for the benefit of the entire society.

The Interuniversity Inauguration of the Academic Year 2022/2023 on 30 September 2022 was organized by the public higher education institutions in Katowice and the city of Katowice. The event took place at the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra concert hall in Katowice.

This event truly marked the beginning of their cooperation under the Academic Consortium Katowice.

Since the President of EuroScience, Michael Matlosz has already cooperated with Silesian universities to other occasions, he has been invited to also take part in this event.

Prof. Matlosz held a lecture on “Transitioning together: universities, cities and regions acting to create positive change for all”.

This event was the first and will hopefully be followed by many other opportunities to foster the cooperation between the Academic Consortium Katowice – City of Science and EuroScience.
