Innovation Union Scoreboard - Industrial innovation - Enterprise and Industry The EU and all EU Member States have become more innovative in recent years. As a result, the EU has closed half of the innovation gap towards the US. However, the differences in the innovation performance within the EU are still very high and diminish only slowly. The innovation gap widens at regional level where the innovation performance has worsened in almost one fifth of EU regions according to the Regional Innovation Scoreboard 2014, which complement the IUS 2014. The overall ranking within the EU remains relatively stable, with Sweden at the top, followed by Denmark, Germany and Finland. The executive summary of the Innovation Union Scoreboard 2014 is available in 23 EU official languages by clicking on the little box. The Innovation Union Scoreboard 2014 places Member States into four different performance groups: Background Every two years the Innovation Union Scoreboard is accompanied by a Regional Innovation Scoreboard.

Design Index AUSTRIA - The MAK is a hub of emerging global communication. Thus, the MAK Center for Art and Architecture in Los Angeles1 and the Artists and Architects-in-Residence program at the Mackey Apartments are central to an intense discourse on the interweaving of contemporary themes in art and architecture. BELGIUM - The Design museum Gent is a cultural institution of the City of Gent. Since January 1999 the museum has been recognized by the Ministry of the Flemish Community in the highest category. The accent in the collections and exhibitions lies on 20th century and actual design. BRAZIL - The Brazilian House Museum (MCB), a privileged location with easy access in the city of São Paulo, seeks to be provocative, stimulating new generations to the contemporary issues and at the same time preserving the memory and all the sobriety that history requires.

European Innovation Scoreboard The European Innovation Scoreboard (EIS) was an instrument of the European Commission, developed under the Lisbon Strategy to provide a comparative assessment of the innovation performance of EU Member States. As from 2011, the report is replaced by the Innovation Union Scoreboard. History of the EIS[edit] A pilot version of the European Innovation Scoreboard was published in 2000. Full versions have been published every year since 2001. The latest report, the EIS 2009, was published March in 2010. 2007 report[edit] The 2007 EIS shows a continued process of convergence within the EU. Commission Vice President Günter Verheugen, responsible for enterprise and industry policy said: "The continued improvement in innovation performance across the EU is very encouraging and offers further evidence that the Lisbon process and the broad-based innovation strategy are working. The EIS provides an annual assessment of innovation performance across the EU and with other leading innovative nations.
Ostrefcom A recent hypothesis (the theory of 'natural pedagogy') proposes that an important function of human ostensive-referential communication is to allow the transmission of generic (semantic) knowledge to others. The primary potential beneficiaries of such a communication system are children, who are always novices with respect to the culture they are born into. This proposal aims to explore whether and how human infants are prepared to learn from adults through communication, what cognitive and neural systems support such learning process, and how this social learning process changes infants' perception, interpretation and representation of the world. Beyond traditional behavioural methods, we plan to use eye-tracking, electrophysiological (EEG, ERP) and optical imaging (NIRS) techniques to get insights about the online processes of perception, attention and memory during, as well as the understanding of the social and physical world through, non-verbal communication.
DEEDS Project | Sustainability Network The DEEDS (DEsign EDucation & Sustainability) project, funded by the European Union Leonardo da Vinci Programme, comprises a partnership of five institutions from the European design and sustainable development communities, embracing Higher Education, research and practice. The project aims to demonstrate the actual and potential added-value of a sustainable design approach to design educators, design students, design professionals, as well as the wider design industry and policy-makers. DEEDS aims to raise new levels of awareness by integrating information, knowledge and thinking, while developing design approaches, in order to inspire, catalyse and transform design teachers, students and professionals and encourage development of ‘natural’ value-based (not cost-based) habits that move us towards more sustainable ways of living and working.
Európa 2020 – Európa növekedési stratégiája Az Európa 2020 a következő évtizedre szóló európai uniós növekedési stratégia. Célunk, hogy változó világunkban az EU gazdasága intelligens, fenntartható és inkluzív legyen. E három, egymást kölcsönösen erősítő prioritás azt hivatott elősegíteni, hogy az Unióban és a tagállamokban magas legyen a foglalkoztatottság és a termelékenység, és erősödjön a társadalmi kohézió. Az EU öt nagyszabású célt tűzött ki maga elé a foglalkoztatás, az innováció, az oktatás, a társadalmi befogadás és az éghajlat/energiapolitika területén, melyeket 2020-ig kíván megvalósítani.

Centro de Innovación - Innovación, Creatividad, Ideas, SETIS: providing targeted support to the SET-Plan — SETIS SET-Plan and SETIS Overview The European Strategic Energy Technology (SET)-Plan aims to transform energy production and use in the EU with the goal of achieving EU worldwide leadership in the production of energy technological solutions capable of delivering EU 2020 and 2050 targets. The move towards a low-carbon Europe requires innovative research, effective strategic planning and an emphasis on timely and appropriate action. SET-Plan Three SET-Plan Communications in 2006, 2007 and 2009, introduced the SET-Plan concept, launched the plan (including the commitment to create SETIS) and determined the financial requirements to implement the SET-Plan based on a number of technology roadmaps for the first set of priority technologies. A fourth Communication, in 2013, is expected to reinforce the modalities of the SET-Plan implementation, as the overarching umbrella for energy research and innovation for the Horizon 2020 initiative.

Versenyképességi és innovációs keretprogram (CIP) - Európai Bizottság Versenyképességi és innovációs keretprogram (CIP) Pillantás a jövőbe: COSME – program a vállalkozások versenyképességéért és a kis- és középvállalkozásokért (2014–2020) Az elsősorban a kis- és középvállalkozásokat (kkv-k) megcélzó versenyképességi és innovációs keretprogram (CIP) támogatja az innovációs tevékenységeket (köztük az ökoinnovációt), jobb hozzáférést biztosít a finanszírozáshoz és vállalkozástámogató szolgáltatásokat nyújt a különböző régiókon belül. Ösztönzi az információs és kommunikációs technológiák (ikt-k) jobb kihasználását, és nagyban hozzájárul az információs társadalom fejlesztéséhez. Továbbá előmozdítja a megújuló energiák fokozott használatát és az energiahatékonyságot. A CIP a 2007-től 2013-ig terjedő időszakra szól, és teljes költségvetése 3621 millió euro. A CIP három operatív programra oszlik. Vállalkozási és innovációs program Az IKT-politika támogatási programja Intelligens energia – Európa program
