PRESS RELEASE
European Commission promotes exchanges between industry and academia (14
January 2008)Researchers gathered in Brussels on 14 January to learn
more about an FP7 Marie Curie scheme providing EUR 400 million between
now and 2013 for staff exchanges between businesses and universities.
The "Marie Curie Industry-Academia Partnerships and Pathways" scheme is
particularly designed to involve small businesses, which make up the
bulk of European companies, as it opens doors to using research results
that can help them develop. The conference will showcase past successes
of such industry/academia partnerships, examine the barriers that
currently exist to such movement between public and private sectors and
offer workshops to help participants design top quality research
partnerships and make the most of any future contract under the scheme.
EVENT ANNOUNCEMENT
Moving Forward and Implementing a Long Term e-Skills Agenda in Europe
23 January 2008 Brussels, Belgiume-Skills are an essential tool in the
implementation of the Lisbon agenda. As the Council of the European
Union recently confirmed, new jobs depend on new ICT skills. As Member
States move towards the development and implementation of their e-skills
action plans, it is crucial that a close dialogue is held with industry
to ensure they are put into practice effectively. The aim of the
conference is to facilitate the definition of the long term e-skills
strategies in the Member States, determine "flagship" projects and
exchange best practice.
