Call for community-building and exchange platform for the Eco-Innovation Action Plan
The European Commission has published a call for community-building and exchange platform for the Eco-Innovation Action Plan. Eco-innovation is any innovation (product, process or organisational innovation) that reduces the use of natural resources and decreases the release of harmful substances across the whole lifecycle while contributing to the economic, environmental and social pillars of sustainability. The role of the Eco-Innovation Action Plan will be to pull together and ensure coherence between European and national actions, coordinating and assisting national actors in interpreting policies and their implementation. It will also propose measures to integrate eco-innovation into other actions and mainstream it into key EU policies. The Eco-Innovation Action Plan will be a follow up action of the Innovation Union Initiative.To see the official call announcement, please consult: OJ No S 229 of 29 November 2011(opens in new window)
