Consultation on the ERA Framework: Areas of untapped potential for the development of the European Research Area (ERA)

(13 September 2011) The Heads of State and Government of the European Union have called to address remaining gaps for the achievement of the European Research Area rapidly in order to complete the ERA by 2014 to create a genuine single market for knowledge, research and innovation. The consultation aims to reinforce the Commission analysis of the key issues to be addressed as well as to gather views on their importance: researchers' careers and mobility, research infrastructures, cross-border operation of research actors, knowledge circulation, International cooperation and cross-cutting governance issues. The outcome of the consultation will help the Commission to decide on those issues, which should be addressed as priorities when preparing by 2012 the ERA Framework, which will set out the focused, proportionate and effective measures to be taken to realize ERA.

Seamless Integration for Personal Health Services - EHTEL Symposium 2011

30 November 2011 - 1 December 2011 European Economic and Social Committee

Given the venerable tradition of many European health and welfare systems, we are recently witnesses to quite rapid changes that call for new strategies and tools. The fundamental care models have to be adapted to fit better to the long-term needs of persons with chronic conditions, particularly to seamless integrate the health and social service domains. eHealth and Telemedicine provide Personal Health Services and help to implement up-to-date health strategies. Yet to move from EU policy initiatives into sustainable practice, still more evidence is needed. This symposium convenes European-wide drivers and frontrunners, i.e. health policy, competence centres and many stakeholder representatives.
