'Fostering Innovation and Strengthening Synergies within the EU', Dublin, Ireland
What makes Knowledge and Innovation Communities (KIC) what they are? A KIC is a highly integrated, creative and excellence-driven partnership which brings together the fields of education, technology, research, business and entrepreneurship, in order to innovate and produce new innovation models that inspire others. They are to become key drivers of sustainable economic growth and competitiveness across Europe through world-leading innovation.
How has the different European Institute of Technology KICs found unique ways to best organise the knowledge triangle in order to achieve impact on the European Innovation landscape through excellent partnerships, innovative funding models and project portfolio? How can these impacts be measured? How will the future of the EIT capitalise on the multiplier capacity of individuals in spreading the expertise gained throughout their relation with the EIT and its KICs?
The conference will aim to answer these questions, within the framework of a wider discussion on the future of EU innovation policies and the integration of the so called Knowledge Triangle (business, research, innovation) both within the EU and globally.For further information, please visit:
