Research and Technology Organisations (RTOs) are mission-oriented providers of innovation services to industry and governments, dedicated to improving quality of life and building economic competitiveness. The core mission of Research and Technology Organisations is to harness science and technology in the service of innovation. For the first time, the 2015 EARTO annual conference edition will be joined with the annual conference of the European Industrial Research Management Association (EIRMA). This cooperation will provide great opportunities to deal directly with research, development and innovation challenges of EIRMA member companies that are all major players in European industry.

Theme of the 2015 Edition

EARTO & EIRMA Annual Conference 2015 will take stock of the current situation regarding collaboration based on knowledge and technology transfer between research and industry. The aim of the conference is to bring together key representatives of RTOs, Industry and EU institutions to discuss the industry’s strategy and research needs linking them to what RTOs are doing and can do in the future to support the European industry.

Infrastructure plays a crucial role in the interface between industry and RTO innovation processes. The objective of the 2 day event focusing on the theme "Infrastructures and Resources Sharing between Industry & RTOs in Europe" is to answer the questions :

• What facilities, tools and services are needed in Europe to align the needs and contributions from industry and RTOs to deliver transferrable co-developed results that are competitive on the world’s stage?
• What is the role of RTOs and Industry in supporting Smart Specialisation within European regions, and driving delivery of the Key Enabling Technologies?

The conference debates will focus on these key-questions.
