Cities representatives discuss innovation and R&D in Eindhoven

Cities will meet at the Knowledge Society Forum, to be held on 20-21 October, which will include the "Open Innovation Cruise".The event will come in an innovative format, focusing on two main themes:

• An ‘Open Innovation cruise’ through local companies, research institutes and other organisations will showcase local best practices in the development and implementation of ‘open innovation’ policies;

• Horizon2020 - with the support of keynote presentations, a discussion will be initiated on what the current barriers and challenges are for cities to participate in research & innovation programmes and what, from their perspective, needs to change in the future.

In addition, on the second day of the conference, participants will have the opportunity to take part in a project matchmaking session on the Regions of Knowledge / FP7-REGIONS-2012-2013-1 call.
