The European Committee of the Regions and
DG R&I of the European Commission are pleased to invite you to this seminar organised in the framework of their longstanding Knowledge Exchange Platform project. You can see its agenda
here .
The event will take place on Tuesday, 14 May 2024, from 14:00 to 17:30, at the CoR, in Brussels. Its subject will be "Knowledge valorisation for the regional and local R&I ecosystems". It will be held
back-to-back with a
workshop co-organised with the EESCon
Exploring Artificial Intelligence in R&D, taking place from 9:30 to 13:00.
The objective of the
renewed KEP 2.0 initiative is to enable the
exchange of new R&I solutions and
best practices, by organizing horizontal seminars in Brussels, and promoting so-called peer-to-peer and showcasing events on the ground. It allows for an efficient dialogue and
transfer of expertise on R&I issues with European cities and regions, businesses, universities and citizens.
European research excellence is commendable, yet there's a
vital need to boost knowledge valorisation. This involves leveraging research outcomes to create social and economic value through sustainable products, services, and policies.
Regional and local authorities play a
crucialrole by implementing R&I policies and programs.
This seminar will focus on
how regions and cities can
foster knowledge valorisation and boost innovation ecosystems translating knowledge into
innovative solutions. It will draw upon
practical experiences gained from the Mutual Learning Exercise on Knowledge Valorisation and from the Committee's Members.
Should you wish to participate in any of the above two events, please REGISTER HERE by: Sunday 12 May 2024 at the latest. (Registration is compulsory for those without an EU badge to access the building.) Reimbursement will unfortunately not be possible for this attendance.
