The PoliRuralPlus project was proudly presented at the 22nd edition of the Czech Days for European Research (CZEDER), the largest national event dedicated to EU Framework Programmes for research and innovation. Organized by Technology Centre Prague in cooperation with the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports, CZEDER 2025 brought together key voices shaping the future of Czech and European research.
This year’s conference, held at Vienna House Andel’s Prague, focused on the next EU programming period beyond 2027, highlighting how ambition, strategic vision, and strong international collaboration are essential for strengthening Czechia’s position in the European R&I landscape. Inspiring contributions from speakers such as Jiří Nantl and Francisco de la Torre Francia emphasized that aiming higher is crucial for long-term success.
Afternoon discussions on knowledge valorisation further underlined the need for a more unified European capital market to turn research excellence into tangible innovation impact.
As part of the poster session, PoliRuralPlus, together with the FOCAL Project and PLUS Change Project from the Plan4all and CCSS, showcased its objectives, methods, and early outcomes. Representatives engaged with participants throughout the session, highlighting the project’s contribution to sustainable rural development, digital innovation, and evidence-based policymaking.

CZEDER – which celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2023 – continues to serve as a key national platform for knowledge sharing, networking, and preparing the Czech research community for future EU programmes. Participation in CZEDER 2025 reaffirmed the commitment of PoliRuralPlus to advancing sustainability, innovation, and knowledge transfer across Europe.
Grateful thanks go to the organisers for an inspiring day of reflection, discussion, and collaboration.
