The world of academic as well as industrial research is changing rapidly. The progress made in all fields science and technology, including such areas as machine learning and robotics, combined with the calls for more widespread open access and open data, will have a lasting impact on how research is performed, communicated and applied. In addition, research-based technological innovation is leading to more critical societal scrutiny and a demand for stronger accountability, integrity and responsibility both for researchers and for science itself. This roundtable brings together four prominent senior researchers, two from the industrial sector and two from academia, to discuss the new skill sets required for young researchers entering the scientific community and how higher-education systems can be adapted to help them develop their talents and succeed in a scientific career whether in the public or private sectors.
List of speakers:
- Michael Matlosz, Moderator, Professor at the University of Lorraine (France) and President of EuroScience
