EC initiatives for developing the EU strategy for KETs.• High-Level Expert Group on KETs [established by the EC on 2010]

– Final Report – recommendations for the EC: implementation of the common KETs development strategy is of a great

importance for the EU, analysis of the competitive level for each of the identified KET’s areas, identification of the future KET-based economic sectors with the greatest

impact for the competitiveness and innovativeness of the EU. • Expert Working Group on KETs [established by the EC on 2012]

– identification of the potential measures and instruments for a development of KETs in the future EU economy – indication of barriers:

loss of the knowledge capital for non-European regions (scientists migrations & commercialization of the R&D results outside the EU),

lack of the common technology policy in the EU - the variety of regulations and standards (further fragmentation of the European Research Area),

lack of the social understanding of the importance of KETs in the EU (legal & institutional environment).

IZTECH represents Poland in the Expert Working Group on KETs.
