At the 51st EBES Conference in Rome, students from the CNTF workshop showcased their research findings to an international academic audience. Their presentations covered a diverse range of topics, focusing on European startups and the impacts of robotization. The event provided a valuable platform for young researchers to engage in scholarly exchange and receive feedback from experienced professionals.

On April 10th, students from the CNTF workshop traveled to Rome to participate in the 51st EBES Conference. Upon arrival, the group met with representatives from iCom to exchange experiences and insights on working with the PATSTAT database, and to discuss their ongoing research projects.

The group remained at the venue until 7:00 PM, engaging in discussions and networking with fellow attendees.

The following day, the remaining students gave their presentations:
Dávid Tibor Nagy: "Energizing the EU: Mapping the Rise of Energy Scaleups in European Cities,"
