Brussels, 19th of December 2013. ETP4HPC participated in a cross-ETP workshop in Brussels, organised by the Policy Development for Industrial Innovation Unit, DG Enterprise and Industry, of the European Commission.

During the course of this workshop, more than 70 participants from the EC and ETPs discussed on how to operationalize and deliver on the ambitions of the recently published “Strategy for European Technology Platforms: ETP 2020”,  and also specific ways and areas in which cross-sectorial approaches and exchanges could be fostered.

A first breakout session allowed brainstorming on metrics for performance assessment and how to optimise the relationships between ETPs and the EC, while a second session explored opportunities for cross-ETP working to address four of the H2020 Societal Challenges:

  • Food security, sustainable agriculture, marine and maritime research, and the bioeconomy;
  • Secure, clean and efficient energy;
  • Smart, green and integrated transport;
  • Climate action, resource efficiency and raw materials.

As a cross-cutting-technology-oriented ETP, ETP4HPC had the opportunity to make itself better known to many other ETPs, meet other ICT ETPs, and learn more about many different application domains where HPC can increase the competitiveness of industry and science in Europe.
