EaP PLUS High-Level Seminar on Research and Innovation Policy

Seminars in Vienna and Athens on research and innovation policy for experts from the EaP countries

Section: Research Policy & Development

Date: 12. - 13. October 2017


EaP PLUS "STI International Cooperation Network for Eastern Partnership Countries - PLUS" is funded under the Horizon 2020 programme and runs from 09/2016 until 08/2019. The project aims to stimulate cooperation between researchers from the EaP countries and EU MS and enhance the active participation of the EaP countries in H2020 Framework Programme.

In October and November 2017 a high-level seminar series on research and innovation policy is organised. The series consists of two workshops, from which the first takes place in Vienna from 12-13 October, and is followed by another seminar in Athens from 7-8 November.
For the seminar in Vienna, ZSI appears as the main organiser, whereas the seminar in Athens is lead by the EaP PLUS coordinator CeRISS from Greece. Participants will take part in both parts of the seminar.

The main objective of the two 2-days seminars is to train participants on relevant topics in research and innovation policy.

Part 1: Vienna (12-13.10.2017)

The agenda for the seminar in Vienna comprises topics such as "The theoretical foundations of Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) Policies", "The paradigms in STI policy", "Innovation support instruments and programmes", "Responsible Research and Innovation", "Open data, open science, open access" and "New developments in peer review".

Part 2: Athens (07-08.11.2017)

In Athens the following topics are in focus: "Innovation measurements", "Intellectual Property Rights", "Performance measurement of organisations", "Benchmarking exercises", "International RTI cooperation" and "Foresight exercises".

The selection process for identifying participants for the Vienna seminar has already been carried out. As regards the Athens seminar, a new call for tenders will be launched soon at the website of CeRISS. In both seminars several high-level policy makers and high-level experts from policy-delivery entities (e.g. research funding agencies, research and innovation councils) from the Eastern Partnership countries will participate.
