How does international
collaboration support the advancement of environmental technology? Which areas
are of special interest here? These questions will be discussed with
representatives of innovation networks from different sectors in the field.
They are part of an initiative of the Federal Ministry of Education and
Research to promote German environmental technology in key target countries
across the world and to strengthen the use of this technology worldwide.
The panel presents examples for international partnerships in selected areas of
environmental technology. Representatives of German innovation networks will
introduce their strategies to internationalise their R&D know how. On the
basis of good practice examples the participants will examine how national
R&D networks and also potential partners in the target countries can benefit
from international cooperation in this field.
Open for German and international interested parties, the panel will provide a
platform for exchanging experiences and initiating joint international
activities.
