W6: Partnership-based ICT research and innovation

The workshop will see 4-5 presentations from key representatives of different viewpoints – EU policy, national policy, small and large industry, and academia – followed by questions & answers / comments from the audience, and a debate with panellists and the audience.


Date: 16/06/2011

The discussion of the next research and innovation framework programme comes at a critical juncture. Europe needs growth, and the growth needs to be smart.

In terms of ICT Research and Innovation the Digital Agenda for Europe has identified the need to reinforce the coordination and pooling of resources with Member States and industry, and to put greater focus on demand- and user-driven partnerships in EU support to ICT research and innovation. It is in this context that the workshop will explore options to further develop both industry-led and society-driven partnerships for research and innovation in the ICT field.

The first part of the workshop will see presentations from key representatives of different viewpoints – EU policy, national policy, small and large industry, and academia – following by questions & answers / comments from the audience. The second part will kick-off the debate with statements from the panellists and then open the floor for further comments from the audience.
