In 2011 the European Commission has tabled several highly relevant proposals regarding Europe’s innovation agenda for many years to come.
The European Parliament has started debating on the next Multiannual Financial Framework (2014 – 2020), the future Cohesion Policy, the next programme for research and innovation, Horizon 2020, and more. The Knowledge4Innovation Forum of the European Parliament is committed to bring together and provide a platform for policy makers and stakeholders to meet and discuss these issues over the next 18 months in order for Europe to take the right decisions to the benefit of Europe’s citizens and businesses.
To kick-off the Knowledge4Innovation Forum Programme 2012/2013 we are pleased to invite you to actively participate and contribute to a series of presentations and debates among innovation stakeholders and together with Members of the European Parliament and representatives of the other respective institutions.

Last year, the K4I Forum managed to implement a very ambitious programme including eight dinner debates, nine working breakfast meetings with the Forum’s Governing Board and a two part 3rd Summit Conference and Exhibition in Warsaw and Brussels which all together produced a substantial outcome. This outcome and the know-how and expertise of K4I members and partners form an ideal basis to provide input to the future discussion - in particular in the European Parliament.
Please let us know if you are interested in making a statement or plan a contribution to one of the presentations which will focus on the policy areas mentioned above.
Please find here the Agenda of the Stakeholder Conference and the Dinner Debate. The MEP Policy Brief shall follow shortly.
