- Moving from Policy to Practice - eris@ conference 2011
-
12 April 2011 - 14 April 2011 Krakow
The eris@ conference 2011 in Krakow will be a different format to previous years. Not only is there a pent up demand to help practitioners accelerate the implementation of major programmes but also, with the World and European economies just emerging from recession, it is essential that we concentrate more of our resources on impact and results. In previous years the conference format has focused typically on presentations of future trends in technology and associated legislation; Krakow 2011 will concentrate on workshops defining current and future state but also crucially how we bridge the gap to achieve impact which will improve the quality of lives of citizens. The programme will therefore be focused on imparting skills to help move regional resources from the relatively safe environment of policy development to implementation and practice where risk is the norm.
