• The research environment has undergone significant transformations in recent decades, driven by scientific challenges and increasingly complex social and economic issues that require solutions beyond national boundaries. Addressing these challenges requires the pooling of expertise from various sectors and the effective sharing of available resources. More than ever, the future of our societies depends on creativity, collaboration, and the ability of all concerned stakeholders to innovate.
