The European Commission has launched a Call for Ideas for a European Innovation Council to support Europe's most promising innovators. Details are available at ec.europa.eu/research/eic
- How can we overcome obstacles to disruptive innovation and scaling up in Europe?
- What can the EU do about it?
- How could we improve existing EU support for innovation?
- What could be the role and functions of a European Innovation Council?
It is important that the design of the European Innovation Council is based on the best possible ideas and evidence from all interested parties (notably business, entrepreneurs, academia, national and regional authorities, representative bodies). The Commission is therefore seeking the views of stakeholders, including via this online Call for Ideas. An analysis of the responses will be published by June 2016 and feed into any possible proposals that the Commission will discuss with Member States and the European Parliament.
The Call for Ideas involves a small number of questions. A position paper can also be uploaded. Contributions received through this survey may be published on this website.
Ideas can be shared by accessing the website.
Open until: 29 April 2016
