Cross-cutting session - Part 1

"Where Europe’s future built environment agenda is shaped: From Committee Insights to Strategic Impact" This high-level cross-cutting session brings together the latest insights from all ECTP Committees to present and discuss key research and innovation priorities for the built environment. Building on the pre-final Position Papers developed by ECTP Committees, this interactive session invites participants to engage in a collective dialogue on the most pressing challenges and innovation priorities in the sector. Participants will actively contribute to refining these priorities, directly feeding into the update of the ECTP Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA) and shaping the future direction of European programmes, including FP10.
