WORKSHOP ON “ADVANCED MATERIALS AND RELATED TECHNOLOGIES GOVERNANCE – FROM A SECTORIAL TO A PROBLEM-SOLVING ORIENTED PROGRAMME”

During the last two FPs, the Commission has assured a certain model of the Technologies Governance mainly based on sectors. This governance has assured good results and an efficient dialogue between the program stakeholders and the Commission.

The new trends appearing in the future Horizon Europe seems to move from a sector based program toward a problem solving approach. The workshop will start discussing around advanced Materials and Nanotechnologies, and will follow with the related Technologies integration. It will be an opportunity to discuss about Technology Governance in the frame of this evolved scenario.

In the second part of the workshop, it will be a networking opportunity to present project ideas* for calls in H2020.

*Reception deadline of Project ideas, is 21st October. Send an email to Amaya Igartua (Amaya.igartua@tekniker.es) EUMAT co-secretary.
