SUMMARY:Designing the path: a strategic approach to EU agricultural research and innovation
DESCRIPTION:Challenges faced by agriculture and rural areas and the long-term character of research activities call for a strategic approach to agricultural research and innovation. European Commission organizes a large conference to discuss how such a strategic approach could be implemented. The conference will close a half-year process kicked-off in Milan in June 2015. \nConference objectives\nThe objectives of the conference will be to: \n\npresent the main elements of a long-term strategy for EU agricultural research and innovation;\ndiscuss its content\, in particular several dimensions of the manner it could be implemented.\n\nConference structure\nThe conference will be structured in two parts: \n\nPre-events (26 January and 27 January morning): four half-day pre-events and one launching celebration will be organised by European Commission partners to discuss particular issues of importance to prepare for the main conference debates. These pre-events are by invitation only and with limited capacity.\nMain conference (27 January afternoon and 28 January): Commissioner Phil Hogan will open the main conference on 27 January early afternoon. He will introduce the strategic approach to EU agricultural research and innovation which will be discussed throughout the conference. The conference will then consist of plenary sessions on 27 January and 28 January afternoons and of two rounds of parallel sessions on 28 January in the morning. As the core objective of the conference is to discuss how the strategy should be implemented\, parallel sessions have been structured around horizontal questions. Concrete examples related to the different priorities included in the draft strategy document will be presented\, allowing to build discussion on implementation on specific content. Participation in the main conference is open.\n\nConference audience\nThe conference is targeted at an audience of around 400 participants including scientists (agriculture\, food and rural research mainly) as well as relevant science networks (ETPs\, JPIs\, ERAnets…)\, stakeholders (farmers\, up and downstream industries and retailers\, civil society organisations\, European organisations)\, International organisations (FAO\, OECD\, CGIAR) and authorities (Member states and main partner third countries). \nConference information\nFor detailed information about the conference\, including a detailed programme outline\, please visit the website of the European Commission Horizon 2020. \nThe conference will be web-streamed through the event page: http://ec.europa.eu/programmes/horizon2020/en/news/designing-path-strategic-approach-eu-agricultural-research-and-innovation \n\n\n

SUMMARY:Panel debate: From Innovation to Impact (by invitation only)
DESCRIPTION:On January 26 KIT will host a panel debate on the theme ‘From Innovation to Impact’. The event is a unique collaboration between KIT\, KNCV Tuberculosis Foundation and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. An introductory lecture by the renowned doctor & statistician Dr Hans Rosling will set the stage for a debate between representatives from academia\, the private sector and NGOs\, all with a specific focus on the fields of public health\, food security & nutrition. The program will be concluded by the world’s leading philanthropist\, Mr. Bill Gates. \nDue to a restricted amount of available seats\, the event is by invitation only. \nSDG2030\nIn 2015 the world community agreed on an ambitious development agenda for the years leading up to 2030 (SDG2030). Now that tangible goals have been set\, the time has come to plan how to actually fulfil our promise to present and future generations. Innovative approaches\, new products and cross-sectoral collaboration will be required to make sure that we can bring these Sustainable Development Goals to fruition\, improving life for all\, particularly the most needy among us. The roadmap from R&D to innovation and then through to scale-up for global impact will be the focus for the afternoon. \nPanel debate\nThe panel will address questions such as: how is fundamental research by academia transferred into a proposition that can be brought to worldwide implementation? What roles do public institutions\, the private sector and NGOs have\, and how might they interact towards a yet greater and more targeted contribution? Bringing together thought leaders from different parts of the chain ‘from innovation to impact’ we can showcase how specific successes came about and explore future synergistic ways to cooperate across sectors. \nSpeakers Frank Cobelens (KNCV Tuberculosis Foundation / AIGHD)\, Louise Fresco (Wageningen University)\, Walter van Kuijen (Phillips)\, Berry Marttin (Rabobank)\, Hanneke Schuitemaker (Crucell-Janssen) and Bart de Steenhuijsen Piters (KIT) will discuss two specific fields – nutrition (food security) and global health (TB control) – in which Dutch innovative capacity working in global partnership throughout the innovation cycle has brought about significant change. \n
