European Technology Platform publishes draft SSRA
In July 2005 CIAA launched the European Technology Platform (ETP) �Food for Life.� The launch of the platform was followed by the development of a Vision document aimed at shaping the future of R&D in Europe in the lead-up to 2020 and beyond. Within the ETP �Food for Life� Vision document, a coherent strategy for the future of the food chain was developed � based upon the shared vision of its diverse stakeholders. The Stakeholder Strategic Research Agenda (SSRA), now available on CIAA�s website, is a follow-up to the original ETP Vision document. The new SSRA has developed and built-upon the original ETP Vision document, expanding it into a coherent series of research challenges aimed at ensuring that R&D is conceived both with the consumer very much in mind and also as the major driver (farm-to-fork). The SSRA document is now open for broad consultation until the end of the year and is available for download by clicking here |
