JRC response to global challenges
The JRC is committed to further improve the framework conditions –ecosystem for cooperation between the EU research and industry by:
• providing access to its RIs
• monitoring knowledge transfer activities bringing together the major European RTOs in the TTO Circle
• assisting EU Regions in the design and implementation of their S3 with the Smart Specialisation Platform
• fostering the permanent dialogue between research and industry with the European Forum for Science and Industry
Scientific support to RTO & industry

Transnational Access / FP7
Three RIs offered transnational access (TA) under the European research infrastructures networks of FP7:
Cyclotron Laboratory (IHCP) (2011-2015)
ELSA - European Laboratory for Structural Assessment (IPSC) (2009-2013)
ESTI – European Solar Test Installation (IET) (2011-2015)
Access to JRC research infrastructures

Pilot Projects for Opening up Access
• Integrated Carbon Observation System (ICOS)
Institute of Environment and Sustainability
• European Laboratory for Structural Assessment (ELSA)
Institute for the Protection and Security of the Citizen
• Geel Electron Linear Accelerator (GELINA) and Van de GraaffGenerator (VdG)* (EUFRAT Project) Institute of Reference Materials and Measurements

Knowledge transfer between academia and industry have been analysed in 2014 in a series of reports at the country level, in terms of:
• investments
• collaboration patterns
• performance indicators
• policies
To be followed in 2015 by a preliminary
cross-country analysis

A platform for permanent exchange between science and industry, strengthening the dialogue and cooperation with European industry in key sectors for European competitiveness in a regular and structured way
• examines themes of key importance to European industry and is open to interested stakeholders
• aims to reinforce the link between science and industry by providing a platform for dynamic discussion, by integrating different perspectives of an issue and by giving a voice to stakeholders from science and industry, while also involving policy-makers
