Founded in 2006, the FFSRT aims to promote the Franco-Swiss cooperation in scientific research and technology, to stimulate technological innovation and regional economic competitiveness, and to pool R & D efforts by supporting trans-border projects.

As part of its activities, the Foundation organizes on the
9th of October 2009, a Meeting on the Innovation and the Technology Transfer.
This meeting will be organized around three axes :
- Current situation (innovation theories and management, national systems presentation…)
- Needs, skills and tools (identification of entrepreneurs’ needs, innovation funding…),
- Interaction between actors (organizations supporting innovation and technology transfer, development / strengthening of links particularly between companies and universities…).

If you wish to participate, you have the opportunity to submit your paper before August 28, 2009.
