- “Research Potential” conference, which focuses on the assessment of the results and the identification of best practices of the Research Potential (REGPOT) calls within the FP7 Capacities Programme, aimed at the increase of the research capabilities of the best research centres of the European regions, dedicated to Convergence and Outermost regions.
- “Regions of Knowledge” conference, which deals with the assessment of the results and the identification of best practices of Regions of Knowledge (REGIONS) calls within the FP7 Capacities Programme, aimed at fostering regional cooperation through ‘research-driven clusters’ by a comparison of the different regional strategies and a definition of joint action plans.
The Conference will take place over three days, with the following structure:
- 1st Day: From “synergies of policies” to “synergies of actions”. The political view and the actors’ perspective.
