Event detail

The Smart Specialisation Platform (S3 Platform) of the European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC) and DG REGIO are jointly organising a launching event of the Stairway to Excellence Project (S2E).

• To raise awareness of the actions needed to enable synergies between different EU funding programmes for research and innovation
• To share experiences in combining Structural Funds and Framework Programme to improve excellence in R&I systems
• Draw lessons for the future
