News archive - [Event Announcement] CONCORD 2010 - Registration Deadline Approaching

The European Commission and the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation are pleased to announce the 2nd European Conference on Corporate R&D (CONCORD-2010), focussing on Corporate R&D – An engine for growth, a challenge for European policy. Registration is free of charge and open until February 15, 2010, but earlier closure might be possible once the maximum number of participants is reached.

Concord 2010, unique in its approach, will bring together researchers, policy analysts, policy makers and industrialists to share specific knowledge on corporate R&D and to discuss ways to stimulate investment in R&D as an engine for economic growth and employment. The outcomes of the event will be translated into support to European research and innovation policy making.

The Conference conclusions concerning the impact of corporate R&D on company performance and employment and regarding policies to increase this impact are due to be presented to the Competitiveness Council and will feed into the preparation of the EU Innovation Plan. Accordingly, policy implications resulting from CONCORD will support developing the EU 2020 Strategy, as proposed by President Barroso in his political guidelines for the new Commission.
