New on the Web - "Innovation and Technology Transfer"
The "Innovation and Technology Transfer" Newsletter may now be accessed directly through the World Wide Web. Published six times a year by the European Commission's INNOVATION programme, "Innovation and Technology Transfer" aims to strengthen Europe's innovation infrastructure and disseminate research results to industry. The emphasis is on timely news relevant to these objectives and in-depth case studies of successful projects. "Innovation and Technology Transfer" on the Web can be browsed either by theme or edition. Users can bring themselves up to date with INNOVATION programme news and general European policy developments. They may also consult the special "Innovation and Technology Transfer" "dossiers" providing in-depth examination of selected topics, as well as case studies from successful research projects. The January edition of "Innovation and Technology Transfer", now online, features a major "Quick Reference Guide" to sources of information on European research and innovation and an interview with Commissioner Cresson on the EC's Innovation Action Plan. The next edition (March 1997), soon to be made available online, will include a special dossier on "Design: A Tool for Innovation". This will highlight the importance of design for innovative companies, focusing on the 64 finalists of the 1997 European Design Prize.
