ESOF, the EuroScience Open Forum, is the premier biennial transdisciplinary meeting on science and innovation in Europe. Founded by EuroScience in 2004, it brings together leading scientists, researchers, entrepreneurs, policymakers, and the general public to discuss new discoveries and the future of research in various fields. ESOF2022, the 10th edition of this exceptional event, took place in Leiden, the Netherlands.

As the European City of Science, Leiden provided the perfect backdrop for this explosion of scientific knowledge. Attendees had the unique opportunity to engage in lively discussions, attend captivating lectures, and explore groundbreaking exhibitions. Looking ahead, ESOF2024 is slated to take place in Katowice, Poland.

As the first Central European city to host ESOF, Katowice is dedicated to sustainable development and offers a vibrant cultural scene. The International Congress Centre, an architectural gem, will serve as the venue, creating an unforgettable setting for this prestigious gathering. ESOF serves as a bridge between science, policy, and the public, fostering better communication and understanding.

It is a truly enlightening and transformative experience for all those passionate about science and innovation
