It was a pleasure to welcome my close friend, Silvia Gómez Recio, Secretary General of YERUN - Young European Research Universities, to the CESAER office on the science & tech campus of KU Leuven, right next to the historic Castle Arenberg. We had a fruitful discussion on the future of the European Research Area, research careers, EU funding programmes, and synergies between young European research universities and universities of science & technology. These types of universities and their communities are immense contributors to boosting Europe's global leadership and competitiveness in research, innovation, and science & technology. As the new semester begins, I am looking forward to many more opportunities to continue working together with Silvia and her excellent team!
