For accelerating innovation and openness, Europe aims at providing appropriate regulatory and institutional frames. This is an important ‘bet’ for Europe in relation to the future. Intelligent regulation can spur technological developments into sustainable directions and give competitive advantages. Appropriate institutional frames need to be timely and flexible, and to steer efforts in the right direction. An open system for science and innovation across Europe makes it possible that all actors can become active in that system. The main way to attain this objective is by developing an extensive network of collaborating organisations at different dimensions and levels joining efforts and alignment with key players that will add value the work and allow to maximise the impact and efficiency. As a representative case of alignment, the objective of the EIT RIS is to contribute to boosting innovation in European countries and regions that belong to the groups of ‘modest and moderate’ innovators (according to the European Innovation Scoreboard). This is also the ambition of Spreading Excellence and Widening Participation under Horizon 2020: with Teaming, Twinning and ERAChairs, the programme promotes cooperation between more and less advanced European countries and boosts innovation in the whole EU. The SEWP package aims as well at mobilizing national/ regional contribution to enable the sustainability of the Centres of Excellence. On the other hand, JRC, DG REGIO and the national and regional ESIF Managing Authorities (MAs) and bodies responsible for RIS3 implementation work with common stakeholders from across the quadruple helix.

The purpose of this visit to Aarhus University (Denmark) was participating in Group Reunion event dedicated to 10 years anniversary of the Centre for DNA Nanotechnology (CDNA) within the Aarhus University, organized on May 4th, 2018. Center for DNA Nanotechnology (CDNA) was founded in 2007 as a center of excellence funded by the Danish National Research Foundation (Danmarks Grundforskningsfond). The center was based at the Interdisciplinary Nanoscience Center (iNANO) at Aarhus University, Denmark, with three American collaborators at North Carolina State University - Raleigh, Arizona State University and Harvard University. The purpose of the center was to conduct basic research within the field of DNA Nanotechnology and they gathered an interdisciplinary team of around 35 researchers and students from chemistry, physics and molecular biology. Examples on the research contributions from CDNA were self-assembly of a DNA-origami box with a controllable lid (Nature 2009), single-molecule chemical reactions on DNA origami (Nature Nanotechnology 2010), DNA-templated protein conjugation including antibodies (Nature Chemistry 2014) and self-assembly nanostructures from in vitro transcriped RNA (Science 2014). 
Dr. Teodora Rusu, SupraChem Lab Project Manager was invited to participate to the IGLO ERA-in-action workshops that aimed to provide a platform to discuss concrete issues related to the implementation of and developments around Horizon 2020. The target group have been experts from the constituencies of individual IGLO offices who have practical experience with the implementation of Horizon 2020 proposals and projects. The event brought together delegates from many countries which participate in the IGLO Network (including Associated Countries), who also represented different sectors (academia and industry). The introduction was followed by a discussion among the participants who were asked to respond to three different questions:

Dr Teodora Rusu has participate in October 2018 to several networking meetings at the Romanian Office for Science and Technology (ROST) in Brussels. The Romanian Office for Science and Technology (ROST) to European Union, was created in 2005, having the goal to strengthen the Romanian participation in the ERA. ROST belongs to the National Authority for Scientific Research and Innovation, the research department of the Ministry of National Education and Scientific Research. The ROST mission is: to promote the efficient participation of the Romanian research community in the EU R&D programmes; to introduce Romanian research, development and innovation policies and the scientific and technologic potential to the organizations concerned; to support and promote the co-operation between the industrial and service companies, universities and research institutes, in order to participate in European R&D consortia; to stimulate the setting-up of interest groups at the European level, by focusing on the existent competencies at the national level, in order to increase their chances to participate in European projects/programmes. 
Dr Mariana Pinteala (SupraChem Lab Project Coordinator) and Dr. Teodora Rusu (the SupraChem Lab Manager) have participate on the 16.10.2018 to the Widening Days, event organized by DG R&I together with REA, event that brought together coordinators from ERA CHAIRS (FP7 and Horizon 2020), TWINNING and TEAMING (phase 2) from all over Europe in the aim to create a WIDENING COMMUNITY. The meeting was a perfect occasion to exchange best practices; share challenges experiences and how to address them. The idea to develop a Widening Community able to raise visibility and reputation of the organisations involved, creating recognised branding for the actions. The meeting was an open forum for all stakeholders directly involved in the projects and a perfect opportunity for networking between the projects beneficiaries. It was also a very good opportunity to better understand the strategy of the ERA CHAIR projects and the expectations that a ERA CHAIR holder has to face. 
Bridging countries. Reaching Europe Joint Romanian-Hungarian Cluster Conference 2018 is first European cluster event kicking off the “European Cluster Weeks” initiative, the 3 days conference co-organised by the Hungarian Ministry of Finance and the Romanian Cluster Association (CLUSTERO) and supported by the INTERREG Europe CLUSTERIX2.0 project invites cluster experts and practitioners to a lively debate on relevant topics such as sustainable business models, cluster support tools, the role of universities, of the Y generation and of the start-ups. The rationale behind the joint conference is to bridge the cluster success stories of two neighbouring Eastern European countries which have followed different paths towards reaching the same result - the establishment of a competitive and sustainable cluster landscape – that now needs to be scaled up within the wider European perspective. he Romanian Cluster The event enjoys the presence of eminent representatives of European organizations, national and international clusters, research institutes, universities, companies, renowned experts. 
The SupraChem lab team was represented by Dr. Luminita Marin, who visited the SCANOMED Medical and Health Science Center of Debrecen University and the Institute for Nuclear Research, both involved in the PHARMAPOLIS cluster. She discussions with colleagues from SCANOMED about the opportunity of a scientific collaboration for in vivo testing of new forms obtained in our research group. She also discussed the possibility of accessing European funds together in order to develop common research topics. With the Hungarian colleagues from the Institute for Nuclear Research, she got to know the research fields developed by them and discussed the possibility of training young people in the field of radiolabelling, the use of isotopic quantification analyzes in practical applications of environmental protection and especially in the purification of radioactive contaminated soils. 
During this meeting Dr. Teodora Rusu have discussed with Iulia Mihail Director of ROST and Dr. Dorina Iosipescu Detached expert to ROST from the Technical University Iasi aspects related to the local organisation of two side events of the of the Xth Conference Week of Innovative Regions in Europe (WIRE) 2019 who was organised in Iasi during the Romanian Presidency of the European Council: 
The general objectives of WIRE X are the following: to substantially contribute to research, innovation and regional development policies; to better position regional actors in order to enhance policy formation for effective innovative regional development; to contribute effectively to the future of Europe when it comes to integrative policies, european added value and real interregional cooperation and co-investments. Being the last event dedicated to research and innovation in the calendar of the Romanian Presidency of the Council of the European Union, the event gathered over 270 participants from 33 countries, representing universities, research and innovation centers, clusters ministries and governmental bodies, regional development organizations, entrepreneurs and professional associations. 
The Conference addresses to changes in climate, technology, and demography that are transforming our societies and way of life. Europe must lead the transition to a healthy planet and a new digital world. The Smart Regions conference represented a good occasion to strengthen the links between people, nations, and institutions. Between expectations and delivery of smart specialization strategies. Between words and deeds. People of Europe who design, implement and master regional economic development through innovation have discuss where and how it makes sense for public authorities to act, leaving European, national, regional and local actors to deliver where they are best placed to do so. The conference focused on three topics: 
The Conference provided the opportunity to national and regional authorities to share experience on how smart specialization strategies have been implemented, present projects financed and discuss impacts on the ground. As well as highlighting best practice and lessons learned, there will be an opportunity to debate the future of innovation in the context of European regional development with representatives from the European institutions and national and regional governments. The conclusions of the discussion will be an important contribution to the implementation of post-20202 Cohesion Policy
