Discussions with Key Organisations
Innovation is undergoing many changes. We are working to link universities, public research organisations, industry and governments in the discussion.
Our programme and networks create a large, living library of good practices, which helps members to assess what they are doing. It also helps to communicate business thinking and business practices to a wider audience.
To achieve this, we maintain close contacts with key organisations such as the European Commission and the OECD and sister bodies such as BusinessEurope, European University Association (EUA), European Association of Research and Technology Organisations (EARTO), European Round Table and the US-based Industrial Research Institute, as well as the Japan Research Industries Association (JRIA)
