News archive - [Event Announcement] European Innovation Summit 2011 (EIS)
Knowledge4Innovation (K4I) and its partners are organizing for the third time, the European Innovation Summit (EIS). This year’s summit is taking place from October 10-13 in two parts: in Brussels, for which President Jerzy Buzek has granted the patronage of the European Parliament, and as a Ministerial Conference and one of four flagship Polish Presidency events, in Warsaw.
Under the motto “Towards a European Innovation Ecosystem” the 3rd EIS will be organised in two major events. In Warsaw the focus will be on adapting EU research and innovation policies to national and regional contexts, and on increasing synergies between different policy areas. In the European Parliament in Brussels, participants will discuss the role of people and talent for innovation and the challenges of innovation funding and financing.
K4I is pleased to continue the success story of the last two years. More than 200 speakers, including the Presidents of the European Parliament and the European Commission, and some 2000 innovation stakeholders from Europe and beyond engaged in numerous dinner debates and the first two summits.
The President of the European Parliament Jerzy Buzek, Innovation Commissioner Maire Geoghegan-Quinn, the Polish Minister of Science and Higher Education Barbara Kudrycka, the Czech Deputy Minister for Research and Higher Education Ivan Wilhelm and the US Ambassador to the EU William Kennard, are only a few of the high profile speakers in this year’s summit.
The 3rd EIS will provide an exceptional opportunity to present and discuss the findings at the Commission landmark event ‘European Innovation Convention‘ which is scheduled to take place on 5 and 6 December in Brussels.
Participants include Members of the European Parliament, representatives of the European Commission, from the various EU Institutions, Agencies and decision makers from the EU Member States. More generally, the EIS brings together innovation stakeholders also from outside the EU borders with different backgrounds and expertise.
