Work package 5: RTD focused measures
Responsible partner: BAS
Time schedule: 29 months (7 till 36)
| Subject | Description |
|---|---|
| Report finding (operational) implementation of the RTD & innovation measures | T5.1 Creation or expansion of the regional waste management RTD & innovation clusters via: 1. Waste management cluster entity description; 2. Inviting relevant actors from the specific region to commit themselves to the waste management cluster; 3. Setting up limited number of expert groups (within the clusters; per region) focusing on a variety of themes (depending on the outcomes of the Joint Action Plan; e.g. waste technologies/domains, speeding up innovation processes, business development, finance/funding/venture capital); 4. Monitoring the actual (operational) implementation of the RTD & innovation measures per region (including report with findings). T5.2 Region internal: Facilitating linkages between the most relevant regional (RTD, innovation and business) actors in order to facilitate the defined RTD & innovation measures (see Joint Action Plans) and the actual creation of knowledge, technologies and innovations in the field of waste and waste management in the region (read: economic development). In other words: linking (signposting) researchers (priority), students, companies, investors, governmental organisations, and other intermediary organisation. Remark: this task is strongly linked to the actual support and facilitation of RTD & innovation processes, but will not contain RTD & innovation activities itself. Also, this task can not be seen as a communication & dissemination task. T5.3 Between regions: Facilitate linkages between the relevant (RTD, innovation and business) actors among the 4 involved regions in order to expand international RTD & innovation cooperation and collaboration. Remark: this task can not be seen as a communication & dissemination task. |
| Report findings (of exchange programme for students and teachers | T5.4 Setting up exchange programmes (among the 4 involved regions) for students and teachers in waste and waste management-related RTD (& innovation). Remark: focus is in principle on science and technology. Report findings. |
| Workshops on technological innovation in waste | T5.5 Organising regional workshop on research and technological innovation dealing with waste and waste management in relationship with essential facilitating measures (e.g. Joint Action Plans; clustering; finance/funding, international collaboration between clusters). Principle target groups: researchers, teachers and students (primary: science & technology). |
