Workshop - Exploitation and Commercialisation of Research Results of Multinational Consortia

29 April 2013, Brussels

The "Environmental Technologies" Unit in DG Research and Innovation is organising a one day workshop to be held in Brussels on the 29th of April 2013 on issues regarding the commercialisation of products or project results developed by multi-national consortia with the participation of SMEs from different countries.

A more insight view on these issues is of particular importance for consortia running projects within the 7th Framework Programmes for Research and Technological Development (FP7). In many cases, in fact, the projects have as a result products/processes to which different partners with different efforts contributed. When the projects end, then some problems can arise regarding IPR and commercialization of their product/services.

The aim of the Workshop is therefore to inform coordinators of FP7 projects on the possibilities for their products/processes of achieving the market, looking at IPR, standards and, more in general, to the exploitation of innovative solutions. Please refer to the agenda for more details.

To attend the meeting please follow the indications for registering, considering that due to capacity of the meeting room a maximum of two participants per project are allowed. 

In order to register for the workshop, please fill-in the table with the details of the participants (information required by our security services in order to grant the participants with the access to our premises) and send it back to our functional mailbox: RTD-ENV-WORKSHOP-EXPLOITATION@ec.europa.eu

Workshop on Integrated Environmental Health Impact Assessment

25 January 2011, Brussels, Belgium

The 2nd International Conference on Risk Assessment will be preceded (January 25) by an Introductory Workshop on Integrated Environmental Health Impact Assessment (IEHIA).

This workshop, organised by INTARESE, HEIMTSA and 2-FUN (three collaborative research projects, funded by the European Commission through FP6), with the support of the Directorate-General for Health and Consumers of the European Commission, will showcase and discuss the IEHIA concept, methods, tools and worked examples the projects have been developing. This IEHIA wider framework and methodology is taking the tradition of risk assessment an important step further by considering not simply the risk assessment of environmental pollutants, but the full environmental health impacts of policies that affect health via the environment – whether or not an effect on health is the primary purpose of the policy.

The deadline for registration is December 17th.

'Europe and heritage: a challenge. Towards a European heritage strategy'

9 December 2010, Bruges – Site Oud Sint-Jan, Belgium

In Europe, the preservation and management of our cultural heritage is organised at national or at regional level. In many cases this legislation is inspired by international treaties and recommendations concluded by international organisations such as Unesco and the Council of Europe.  However, both movable and immovable heritage often undergo the indirect influence of various EU legislation concluded by other policy areas. Think of, for example, legislation dealing with environmental issues, labour affairs, energy efficiency or building products.

The main challenge is to take the specific interests of cultural heritage into account in this legislation. The conference 'Europe and heritage: a challenge. Towards a European heritage strategy' wants to make European policy makers aware of cultural heritage and the way in which it is very closely related to other policy areas. It wants to encourage all parties involved to cooperate on a European cultural heritage strategy by means of a declaration of intention.

Science-Policy Workshop: Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation - Reducing Water-related Risks in Europe

6-7 July 2010, Brussels, Belgium

The Environment Directorate of the Commission's Research Directorate-General is organising a series of workshops aiming to gather the critical knowledge mass represented by projects of the Framework Programmes that address climate change understanding, climate change impacts and scenario building.
The workshops are aimed at:

• Gathering representatives of on-going FP projects, as well as of related EU-funded projects to discuss the state of knowledge, identify research perspectives and needs;
• Fostering exchanges between the scientific and policy communities, by identifying the best way to communicate policy development from various perspectives (research, climate, regional policy, disaster policy) in order to highlight research needs to the scientific community;
• Boosting the communication of key scientific findings to policy-makers and stakeholders, highlighting how these could contribute to EU policies and to the 5th IPCC Assessment Report.

This first workshop in the series is dedicated to water-related risks. Jointly organised with the United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UNISDR), it builds on the outcomes of the October 2009 workshop “Dialogue Among Scientific Community and Policy Stakeholders on Disaster Risk Reduction” organised by the Commission's Research Directorate-General and UNISDR. Reinforcing the exchanges among the scientific and policy communities in Europe, the event aims in particular at providing practical examples of how research can contribute to guide policy makers in investment decisions towards disaster risk reduction in order to implement the climate change adaptation agenda.
Please note that participation is on invitation only. For more information, please contact Estelle Barrillon, tel: +32-2-2993228, e-mail: estelle.barrillon@ec.europa.eu

Web streaming event on "Innovation Union" with Commissioner Geoghegan-Quinn

17 June 2010, Online

Europe has experienced its worst economic crisis since the 1930s. The only way to replace the jobs lost and to achieve a prosperous, green and fair economy in the future is to improve Europe's performance in innovation: in other words, develop new products and services that create wealth and improve quality of life. In particular, more innovation is necessary to tackle our century's defining challenges: climate change, energy and food security, health and the fact that the average age of Europe's population is increasing.

This is why Commissioner Geoghegan-Quinn wants to listen to your ideas on how we can make Europe into an Innovation Union.

She will be online (pictures and sound) via the European Commission's Webcast Portal at 10:00-11:00 Central European Time on 17 June. To take part in this interactive discussion, just go to the Webcast Portal at the right time.

You can send in your questions to RTD-INNOVATION-UNION@ec.europa.eu, but you can also put them to the Commissioner via the Web Portal during the event. The following languages will be in use: Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian and Spanish.
