EU R&I Days 2022 launched a new initiative called Friends of EU Research and Innovation, a database of individuals and organisations available to act as multipliers of EU Research and Innovation. Any organisation or individual can become a Friend of EU R&I, as long as they are open to spread the word about EU Research and Innovation. Universities, NGOs, businesses, networks and umbrella associations in the EU, at national and sub-national level are ideal candidates. Once there is a significant number of registered stakeholders, they will have access to a digital platform with exclusive events and content, as well as networking features similar to the EU R&I Days.
