When experts talk

Europe INNOVA is an extrovert initiative. It aimsto integrate external information and expertise to be as practical as possible. Input from and discussion with high level European experts is very valuable. For this reason Innovation Panels are a central element of the Sectoral Innovation Watch project and the Europe INNOVA initiative.

Sectoral Innovation Watch aspires to provide policy-makers and stakeholders with a more comprehensive understanding of sectoral innovation performance, including barriers, drivers and challenges across the European Union. The Panels complement these analytical findings with sector-specific priorities for action, and formulate questions and issues to be addressed by the project

During the first phase of the Sectoral Innovation Watch project (2006-2008), five rounds of "Sectoral Innovation Panels" were convened, whereas the second project phase (2008-2010) foresees instead a series of cross-sectoral "Thematic panels".
