Under the aegis of the Spanish Presidency of the Council of the
European Union in the first half of 2010, the Spanish government will
take the opportunity to focus the attention of political leaders and
social stakeholders on the competitiveness of European regions. In
particular, the event will concentrate on the use of the resources
devoted to research and development (R&D), specially the Structural
Funds (SF) and their potential synergy with the EU's Framework
Programmes (FPs) and the Innovation and Competitiveness Framework
Programme (CIP).
The European Week of Innovative Regions will encompass three different events:
- a conference on the efficient and effective use of the budget
earmarked in the Structural Funds for research and technology
development (RTD) and innovation, including their synergies with the
FPs and the CIP;
- a conference on research potential, which focuses on the
assessment of the results and identification of best practices of the
Research Potential (REGPOT) calls within the Seventh Framework
Programme (FP7) 'Capacities' Programme, aimed at the increase of the
research capabilities of the best research centres of the European
regions;
- a 'Regions of Knowledge' conference, which deals with the
assessment of the results and the identification of best practices of
the Regions of Knowledge (REGIONS) calls within the FP7 'Capacities'
Programme.
