EU Horizon 2020 projects on interactive innovation: how far did they come?

Since the European Commission launched its European Partnerships Programme (EIP) in 2014, a range of international projects have searched for ways to stimulate innovation in interaction with multiple stakeholders. Some have finished, others are still ongoing.

What did they achieve so far? What did they discover? And how do they complement each other? Where would it lead us when we bring them together and discuss what they encounter?

12 projects will contribute to this extraordinary joint session bearing in mind the four conference themes.
