This week is one of my favourites in the year. It's a chance to bring together academics, students, researchers and stakeholders from across to Europe and beyond for our bi-annual EUTOPIA Week. Hosted by EUTOPIA partner CY Cergy Paris University, the theme for this EUTOPIA week is innovation and collaboration – providing a platform to showcase the achievements of the alliance and to set the stage for future initiatives.
