Accelerating EU-US Business Collaboration in Health/e-Health Research and Innovation: Opportunities, Barriers and Best Practices Workshop - Report published!

The public report on the "Accelerating EU-US Business Collaboration in Health/e-Health Research and Innovation: Opportunities, Barriers and Best Practices" Workshop, held in Boston, Massachusetts, on Friday June 20th, 2014 is now available online!

The Workshop was part of the BILAT USA 2.0 project which aims to enhance and develop Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) partnerships between the European Union (EU) and the United States of America (US). The workshop was built towards the specific objective of supporting transatlantic cooperation between innovation actors, with a specific focus on the health/e-health field. 

The results of the workshop will be analyzed to provide inputs and recommendations to US and European policy makers at an EU-US Innovation Conference (planned to take place in January 2015); it will aim to illustrate how to overcome the identified barriers, and what changes could be made to consider the innovation dimension in the next EU-US STI Cooperation Agreement in order to support EU-US businesses collaboration, including in Health Research and Development.
