The main objective
Objectives
The planned Workshop is focused on evaluation of current state and prospects of development of R&I areas included within RIS3 strategy in many European countries with particular focus on regional cooperation of CEE countries. The overall objectiveof the Workshop is to further promote Research and Innovation Smart Specialization Strategy (RIS3) with the focus on CEE countries in the field of Biotechnology ranging from industrial biotechnology, biobased industries and bioeconomy, through environmental, agro-food biotechnology up to medicinal and pharma biotechnologies. The Workshop aims at providing a forum for discussion between multi-sectorial stakeholders to share knowledge and experience and to formulate recommendations on national and regional level towards increasing smart specialization, competitiveness and impact on related biotech industries, strengthening the regional cooperation within European research programs and cooperation with international organizations such as JRC-EC, ICGEB, CEI.
Under auspices of Ministry of Education, Science, Research and Sport of Slovak Republic
