<title><![CDATA[Horizon 2020 - video testimonials - Luca Copetti (BE):  What are your main concerns for the future?]]></title>
<link>http://ec.europa.eu/research/horizon2020/index_en.cfm?pg=testimonials&amp;video=luca-copetti-1</link>
<description><![CDATA[I'd say that the main concern I have is the danger of seeing Europe transform itself into a region of war again. I think nothing is taken for granted, it can happen again, look at what's happening in Greece, for example, look at the revolts of the population in Portugal. I think we should always remember that the main concern of the Founding Fathers was Never again!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The solution is a multi-level one. You can go in very technical solutions like manage the budget, manage the Euro crisis and so on, and also manage the regulations but a good start would be to find new ideas for growth, jobs, maybe create your own job... That is part of the solution I guess.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[On its own, Europe is not responsible of the crisis. I think Europe has done plenty of good things but we need to calm down a bit the investors and not trying to find always the best interest. I don't think obligation, European obligations such as Greece and other, have to be on the market I think, personally, that's the reason why the crisis is so high todays, that they're speculating on products that are involving our daily life every day. That is my point of view.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I believe it actually starts from the youth. To be able to get out of this crisis we need more qualified youth, a youth which is more aware of what to be European actually means, what are the privileges of being European: freedom of movement, being able to travel to study other European programs. So basically we need to talk about what being a European is: it is a benefit to be multilingual, it is a benefit to be able to travel freely in the European sphere and it is those children who will grow into this kind of education who will have more ideas, a big identity, more language skills, be more adventurous, who will have new ideas for the future. So I believe it is about focusingon European youth today to get Europe out of its crisis tomorrow.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I think that technology and research are very important for the future but we have to make a difference between companies which are looking for their own interest and benefits and profit etc. and companies that are looking for global benefit for the people and not only for the economic profit. I think we have to go in that direction and not the other one.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[It does! But only if we create the right channels. Because there are different types of research: economic research, development research and human research. So it depends on the role every country wants to play. Europe has enough resources, all it need to do is to work on economic research, which means create more labour, more working environment, then it will change the economy. Because at the moment the economy is stagnating, it is not moving forward, because no new jobs are created, every old jobs have been taken, so it is like a boomerang situation. All they need to do is to open up the system, that allows more trainee and more work.]]></description>

<link>http://ec.europa.eu/research/horizon2020/index_en.cfm?pg=testimonials&amp;video=benjamin-bruyninx-2</link>
<description><![CDATA[I think it depends on what we consider as Europe: is it politicians or people in the street? I think that the solution may come from the people and the citizens. There is an important to change the mentalities and I think that people have to be more critical about the world in which they are living and we have to change our habits and our way to consume goods and find new values. And I think that politicians have to help that and they have to believe and to realize that we have to change the system in which we're living and the economical system and the philosophical, political way to consider the world and society in general, today.]]></description>

<link>http://ec.europa.eu/research/horizon2020/index_en.cfm?pg=testimonials&amp;video=bryna-benhoff-2</link>
<description><![CDATA[There's no worse or better there's only different. And I can promise you that. In the US, there are so many different issues and class disparity and you see that people that are poor are becoming so much poorer. Now they are starting to become a social stygma. And unemployement is just as bad except they have no net to fall into. Now Europe have the safety net which brings a lot of people into. You know you don't have the motivating factors but I would say it is going to just...Both sides needs to swallow their pride and realise that they have to make changes, especially in today's world where you can't just throw money in industry anymore, you can't just say: We need to manufature more goods because we don't need more goods. We need to have ideas, like from talent places that were out today that you need to start opening your mind. The systems are very closed right now, and you need to start opening those up and maybe steal some ideas from both sides.]]></description>

<link>http://ec.europa.eu/research/horizon2020/index_en.cfm?pg=testimonials&amp;video=sunjoon-hong-2</link>
<description><![CDATA[Well, in fact I was quite longing for the level of living or the European style of living. For example, work hard and rest much, and they have more time with the family, and I like that very much. But for example, I’m sorry for the Italian people or the Greek people, but they do not work so hard. I think. I mean the time… the time is quite, little I think. So that is one of the problems of the crisis.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I think research and innovation do certainly...can guide us for a better future, At the same time, I would say, we need to define innovation, because I believe that we have a certain concept of what innovation means, at this current time...meaning especiallly technological innovation but I also feel that it's gonna be destruction if we only focus on the technological innovation. So, I believe that research can help us more if it focuses on health and issues that are important to people.]]></description>

<link>http://ec.europa.eu/research/horizon2020/index_en.cfm?pg=testimonials&amp;video=hinrich-claussen-4</link>
<description><![CDATA[There are simply mega things that would not have happened without research. I refered, before we talked, to digital mapping, companies like Tele Atlas, Navteq, would not have that kind of existence without this kind of research. On the other hand, the efficiency is by far too low. When you talk about - and I'm sorry to say so - about research and the EU level, the efficiency is low, the bureaucracy is far too high also in other organizations, of course, and the companies, it's too high. So we have to make sure that we are more efficient.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The main concern I can think about is the lack of privacy that we'll have in the future and what these social networks bring to our life, our friendships, our relationships, and I'm just afraid they will affect us more and more as human beings and even though we have a feeling that we are more interconnected, we are actually falling more and more apart.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[At this moment, I believe that you cannot get out of something if you have the same mentality as you started with. So, for me, the big thing to get out of this crisis is to have a change in mentality: we can't look at the problems the same way as we came in to the problem...So, meaning by that is having these entrepreneurs out there, that change things, that really see it from a different point of view, from an innovative point of view, it can be the same way, but just the approach is very much different. Again linking towards a strong leadership in it and having those change agents.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[More robust infrastructures, pragmatic reaction If we look at some of the challenges, I mean climate change, is a key one facing us, and a lot of the people will say we need to do a lot for climate change. Which is actually true,there is a lot of mitigation things we're doing. But we also, need heavy investment. in some of the adaptation methods as well. I've just come bacl from a tour of the United States, looking at what the're doing dealingwith all their extreme events. We have to make our system in Europe,all our society more robust for the changes that are going to happen. and this is not a defeatist in, saying we cannot prevent it, it is just a pragmatic reaction to the fact, things are going to happen.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[We're now seeing with new programs of science and innovation a focus on tackling the big challenges that we need for the future and looking in ways in which we can have more integrated programs where science and technology and different fields is working much better together, exploring the synergies, we could say in longer words. Because I think up to now that we've perhaps had too much of a single focus in different disciplines. So this multidisciplinary horizontal research. Working together in teams and building bigger knowledge and innovation communities across Europe which is something we are doing with the European Institute of Technology which I'm very passionate about. I think that's a real step forward in developing new ways 
of working together So a combined effort, but focused on solving those big challenges and what interest me is when I see some universities in my region and other places, starting to organize their own research program around societal challenges. 
So within the universities themselves they're building these multidisciplinary teams and then will respond to the challenges that are coming from outside.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I think that research and innovation are essential. Without them, there will not be a lot of progress, progress will be impossible, and we will not be able to make more progress. But I think one of the conditions in which we will have to do that, is to make sure that whenever public money is used for any kind of research, that results of those will be available for the public as well.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[If you stop evolving, you're dying. And that's basically valid for all living organisms or economy as a whole: if you are content and you stop looking, you stop, for a part, existing, you stop evolving and you go downwards! The whole economy and the wole situation, the whole society degrades. So yes. Just to know that you remain living and remain on top of things, you need to evolve and for evolution, you need research and innovation.]]></description>
