Denmark Aiming to Host the "Research Olympics"
Denmark is aiming to host Europe's largest research festival in Copenhagen in 2014. Hard work behind the scenes and an application underway will hopefully result in up to 5,000 researchers, companies, institutions and visitors participating in Euroscience Open Forum (ESOF) on Danish soil.
– Copenhagen and the Øresund Region are a high profile knowledge area with many universities and large companies – all contributing to ensure the research festival will be a special experience. With business leaders and researchers from all over Europe in attendance, Denmark will have a unique opportunity to draw attention to what makes Denmark special – not just from a research angle, but also in society and as a nation, says Science Minister Charlotte Sahl-Madsen.
