From open science to open innovation
How to get more jobs and growth from EU science investments
Brussels - 24 February 2015
Agenda
The EU and its member-states as well as its associated countries invest heavily in big Research
Infrastructures like particle accelerators, synchrotrons, telescopes and scientific databases. What does it
get for that investment, besides great science? A growing number of lab administrators, economists and
policy makers think it can also get more jobs, spin-out companies and economic growth. Through new
initiatives, it should be possible to deepen and strengthen European markets for technology services
and products spun out from these scientific installations. This Science|Business conference will highlight
the new economic thinking in the field, and stimulate a policy debate about how to encourage projects
that can help – particularly in light of President Juncker’s new investment plan.
