- Commission to boost research and innovation by making it easier to apply for and manage EU grants
-
(29 April 2010)The European Commission has unveiled a plan to simplify the procedures for taking part in EU-funded research projects. The overall aim is to make participation transparent and attractive to the best researchers and innovative companies in Europe and beyond. Ensuring European research realises its full potential is crucial to the EU's Europe 2020 Strategy, given the need to consolidate economic recovery and develop new sources of growth and jobs to replace those lost in the crisis. Complementing the proposals on simplification, the Commission has also appointed a group of independent experts to review all aspects of the current Seventh Framework Programme.

- Science and Policy Forum on Future and Emerging Technologies Flagships
-
9 June 2010 - 10 June 2010 Brussels, Belgium
Future and Emerging Technologies (FET) Flagship Initiatives are proposed to be visionary, science- and goal-driven large-scale European ICT research initiatives cascading into various scientific and technological areas, from long-term to more technology-driven research. The scientific advance is at the center of the initiatives. Flagships should generate a wave of technological innovation and economic exploitation, ideally in a variety of areas and sectors, and would carry an important societal impact. The overall objective of this workshop is to establish an open, high-level, high-visibility event and to inform all stakeholders (from key scientists to research policy makers) on the preparation of the FET Flagship Initiatives.
