PIEp Researchers Network Spring Meeting

PIEp Researchers Network Spring Meeting, 9-10 June 2010

Dear PIEp Researchers!

PIEp is proud of the strong network of researchers that has been built up over the years through engagement in a variety of different projects and activities! As a vital part of that network, we are pleased to invite you to the 2010 Spring PIEp Research Network Meeting, 9-10th June. (NB not 28/29 April as previously announced)

It takes place in parallel with the Passion of Innovation at LOVE2010 in Stockholm. The purpose of the meeting is to draw on experiences within PIEp research so far and to create the future PIEp research map. The programme includes speeches from PIEp research fellows, inspirational speakers and an invitation to reflect upon your own research in relation to “how to increase innovation capabilities”.

An outline of the programme is given below. PIEp will cover the cost of the days - all you need to pay for is your travel. We hope you can join us!
