Europe is heavily investing in Research and Innovation. For the 2014-2020 period, almost 200 billion Euro have been allocated for H2020 and the structural funds in 200 Operational Programmes.

New developments such as “Open Innovation” and “Open Science” are challenging the European Commission to link the Innovation Union to new concepts and initiatives such as the “Regulatory refit”, the Digital Single market, the Energy Union and the Juncker Investment plan. This event, chaired by K4I Forum Chair, Lambert van Nistelrooij MEP, will examine these challenges and also present success stories resulting from EU funded projects.

Programme

14h30 - 15h30

Workshop 1: The Role of S&T and R&I in EU Policy Making
