European Research at Ecologic Institute
The support of scientific research and technological development are key objectives of the EU. Indeed, the Europe 2020 strategy calls for "Smart growth - developing an economy based on knowledge and innovation". Ecologic Institutes contributes to this goal through a range of research projects, especially under the Seventh Framework Programme for Research and Technical Development (FP7) and starting in 2014 the research programme Horizon 2020.
