MED Programme is organsing their annual event, which will be held in Barcelona, on November 19th, 2009.
The event aims to capitalize on existing project results, further tailor the upcoming targeted call in the innovation field by identifying relevant themes and generating first project ideas, as well as outlining and shaping the future of the Med Programme.
The event will have a closer look on how the the EU aims to boost 'Smart Growth' and to develop an economy based on knowledge and innovation. How can Territorial Cooperation in the Mediterranean contribute to reach these aims? To find out, they will put the spotlight on innovative approaches and ‘innovation’ projects in the Med programme: What has been reached by the classical Med projects aiming to innovate in various fields, what is about to be implemented by the pioneer strategic projects selected in 2011? What is the state of the art of the programme’s cross priority capitalisation process?
Subsequently they will look into the future. The participants will have the possibility to discuss and provide input for the upcoming targeted call on ‘innovation capacities’. What has to be further developed to innovate in the Mediterranean? Which relevant working fields or approaches have not yet been identified?
The annual event will also be the occasion to provide input for developing and positioning the future Med Programme. What are the needs for the future transnational cooperation in the Med area and which are the working fields that will deliver the greatest gain for smart, inclusive and sustainable growth?
