Bringing Technology and Innovation into the Boardroom

Strategy, Innovation and Competences for Business Value

By: European Institute for Technology and Innovation Management

Europe is waking up to the challenge of technology and innovation. We see EU commitment to spend 3% of GDP on R&D, but who is thinking about how to spend? Who is thinking about technology management? Does the corporate board have the means to manage this spend? Should some percentage of the R&D be spent on improving technology and innovation management? This is where this book makes a contribution. It brings together the latest practice, research findings and thinking, presented in a way that addresses top management requirements. The goal is to secure the economic future of the firm, in the context of a sustainable industry and society. Using the ideas and methods in this book, the board can assess and improve its own ability to deal with the challenge of technology and innovation.

An indispensable resource

EU freshwater policy, 33rd report of session 2010-12

By: Great Britain: Parliament: House of Lords: European Union Committee

This report finds that Europe is not doing enough to protect itself from the threats to water resources in large parts of the continent. Urgent action is required to safeguard water quality and availability in the UK and many areas of Europe which are already suffering from the effects of a significant lack of rain. The Government should bring forward the deadline for reforming the water abstraction regime, outlined in its Water White Paper ('Water for life', Cm. 8230, ISBN 9780101823029). More than 10% of rivers are abstracted to an extent that may damage water ecosystems, but the Government has set a target of the mid to late 2020s for reforming the regime, which fails to respond to the urgency of the situation. Other recommendations include: the EU must start planning immediately for a future in which water resources will be increasingly uncertain; the Government must allow the cost of water to increase where other measures to tackle water scarcity have failed; more must be done to promote the catchment level as an important level of governance, in the Blueprint for the future of the EU's water resources (due later this year); local stakeholders (for example, rivers trusts, amenity groups, anglers and farmers) should be allowed to play a much greater role in decisions on issues such as river catchments, in order to reconnect people with the value of water as a resource; and the EU should encourage all Member States to develop national water scarcity and drought management plans.

Innovation in EU agriculture

19th report of session 2010-12, report

By: Great Britain: Parliament: House of Lords: European Union Committee

Agricultural innovation must be at the heart of both Europe and the UK's policy-making, in an effort to respond to a rising global population, to the challenges of climate change and to food price volatility. Farmers cannot be expected to rise to these exceptional challenges without significant help. The EU collectively, and Member States nationally, must do more to help solve these problems. There are three main areas that the European Union Committee strongly urges the EU to consider in the current debate about the future of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and innovation policy: the European Commission must significantly increase investment in scientific research in the agricultural sector by reducing the proportion of funding devoted to the CAP and diverting it to agricultural research by the EU's Research Programme; all countries must ensure that innovative knowledge is fully communicated to the agricultural sector via better farm advice systems; the innovation-hostile environment of Brussels must be overcome.

State of knowledge of soil biodiversity - Status, challenges and potentialities

Report 2020

There is increasing attention to the importance of biodiversity for food security and nutrition, especially above-ground biodiversity such as plants and animals. However, less attention is being paid to the biodiversity beneath our feet, soil biodiversity, which drives many processes that produce food or purify soil and water. This report is the result of an inclusive process involving more than 300 scientists from around the world under the auspices of the FAO’s Global Soil Partnership and its Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils, the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative, and the European Commission. It presents concisely the state of knowledge on soil biodiversity, the threats to it, and the solutions that soil biodiversity can provide to problems in different fields. It also represents a valuable contribution to raising awareness of the importance of soil biodiversity and highlighting its role in finding solutions to today's global threats.

Seventh Framework Programme for Research

Report with Evidence; 33rd Report of Session 2005-06

By: Great Britain: Parliament: House of Lords: European Union Committee

The Framework Programme is the EU's main instrument for funding research and development, and each programme currently runs for five years. The Committee's report considers the European Commission's proposal for the next framework programme (the seventh programme or 'FP7') which it is proposed should run for a period of seven years (from 2007 to 2013). The new programme has objectives to support co-operation between industry and universities, to promote creativity through funding 'frontier' research teams and the establishment of a European Research Council, to increase training and careers development in research, and to strengthen research and innovation capacity in EU member states. Nine high level themes are proposed for EU action in relation to energy issues; environment and climate change; food, agriculture and biotechnology; health; information and communication technologies; nanotechnology and new production technologies; socio-economic sciences and the humanities; space and security research; transport and aeronautics. It addition, two themes are covered by the Euratom Framework Programme, relating to fusion energy research, and to nuclear fission and radiation protection.
