Collaborative Workshop: Open Innovation Facilitation In Horizon Europe
On 05-06 October 2022, H2020 EU projects VIPCOAT, MUSICODE and OpenModel, invite to the "Open Innovation Facilitation" workshop at the Hanse Office and Representation of the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen in Brussels. During the two-day workshop, participants from industry, government, academia and society can expect an interdisciplinary exchange of opinions, requests and new ideas on promotion and development of open innovation processes and supporting tools in the context of new products design based on advanced modeling for materials and environmental sustainability.
The central idea of the presence workshop is to discuss the requirements for Open Innovation Platforms (OIP), which enable knowledge and technology transfer and realize open innovation processes, to be elaborated and systematized by involving all stakeholders from industry, governmental bodies, academia and society. The workshop results form the basis for the development of a digital Open Innovation Framework (OIF) with reference to European Open Science Cloud initiatives as well as content priorities of the European Commission.
