The second EPISIS conference will address the potential of service innovation as a driver for value creation in Europe. All European countries have experienced rapid growth in the service industries and have become service and knowledge economies during the last decades.
In order to reach the full value potential of service innovation, for the benefit of companies all over Europe, it is important to have the right policy instruments to promote service innovation. Although our understanding of the characteristics of the service sector may be much better today than it was a decade ago, further knowledge is needed. It is important to know best practices in the support for service innovation at both regional and national level so that service innovation can be a driver of value creation.
Despite that service innovation is of importance in innovation policy in all European countries, relative few policy makers around Europe work strategically on promoting service innovation through their innovation policy.
The aim of the 2nd EPISIS conference is to contribute to a better understanding of service innovation policy and to provide policy makers with more knowledge on service innovation as a driver for value creation. The conference will be build on the newest theory and policies on service innovation, company cases and best practice in policy making from all over Europe.
The conference is open and free of charge to everyone interested in latest policy development related to service innovation.
The deadline for registration is 31 August

Inhoudsopgave van deze pagina:
Deze instelling van de Europese Unie kan worden beschouwd als het 'dagelijks bestuur' van de EU. De leden van de Europese Commissie worden 'Eurocommissarissen' genoemd. Elke Eurocommissaris is verantwoordelijk voor één of meerdere beleidsgebieden.
Momenteel zijn er, naast de voorzitter, 26 Eurocommissarissen. In principe is er voor iedere lidstaat één. Samen vormen zij het college van Eurocommissarissen. De Eurocommissarissen moeten het belang van de Europese Unie als geheel behartigen, niet dat van hun eigen land.
