Workshop “Research Infrastructure and Structural Funds for Regional Cooperation in the Baltic Sea Region”

Welcome to participate in a workshop about  research infrastructure and regional co-operation in the Baltic Sea Region

Petra3, European XFEL, MAX IV and ESS are important parts of the new infrastructure for research and development in the Baltic Sea Region. These facilities will create fantastic opportunities and new challenges in co-operation and financing.
 
The EU commission is preparing the new funding period and is discussing an idea of increased use of structural funds in co-operation in research and development. The Baltic Sea Region will be used as a pilot area to try new approaches in funding.
 
The flagship project BALTIC SCIENCE LINK will create a network of Research Infrastructure (RI), Universities, enterprises and administration in the Baltic Sea region to use more effective results and measurement opportunities at RI.
 
The purpose of the workshop is to discuss regional co-operation, specialisation and regional effects in context to these initiatives. The freshest report about innovation in the Baltic Sea region paid by the European Commission will be presented and representatives of the Commission will explain positions of the different DGs regarding Research Infrastructure and cooperation in the Baltic Sea region.

Representatives of Research Infrastructure, regional development agencies, universities, science parks, business incubators, venture capital, industry and science are invited to attend the workshop.
