The conference was hosted by Copernicus Institute of Sustainable Development, Utrecht University. It is the leading event in science, technology and innovation policy in Europe, with a broad attendance of scientists as well as policymakers. The key objectives of the conference are to provide a forum for scholars in the areas of research and innovation policy analysis, to exchange ideas, and to present findings across disciplinary boundaries.

During the three-day event, the Osiris team chaired several parallel sessions and presented papers on topics such as Science policy interaction; Transformative innovation policy and RRI; Funding policy and impact; and Research evaluation and societal impact.
