Regional policy makers, business people and knowledge stakeholders will meet to discuss possible joint ­projects, including those to be co-financed by the EU. To prepare for these meetings, please feel free to send the organisers your project fiches, as well as to indicate whom you would like to meet during the Forum in private. The list of participants will be available at the EREF Portal (www.eref.eu) shortly.

The Triple Helix policy makers and knowledge stakeholders will openly explore and discuss possible, practical solutions to the problems of future knowledge society. Forum participants will be acquainted with selected European and worldwide best practice.

There will be plenty of opportunities to take part in the discussions at the Forum, and to shape the recommendations also by taking part in preparatory workshops: on 23 April in Graz (Role of Foreign Direct Investment – already successfully organised), on 11 May in Istanbul (Knowledge Transfer, and attracting Scientific Talent through Communication with Diasporas), and on 27 May in Gorizia (Reaching Global Competitiveness through Reforms of Tertiary Education Systems). As previous two years a separate meeting of regional and local “Lisbon Coordinators” will take place on 7 June afternoon.
