An English-language round-table discussion on innovative funding models for European research. It is hosted by the Fondation Bettencourt Schueller as part of Falling Walls. It asks whether greater collaboration between private, national and international funders could open up new opportunities for researchers. Drawing on lessons from Impulscience, it explores how such models could strengthen research ecosystems across Europe.
