The Horizontal Steering Group
The four events which will take place throughout 2010 reflect a new approach for the Club geared at identifying members by actively involving innovation support providers at local level.
The HSG is responsible for assessing and commenting on the methodologies and processes employed by the KIS-IP, analysing and validating the main results that are being obtained and identifying areas where further work should be undertaken. It will also encourage active communication of the partnerships’ results to a wide group of stakeholders with the aim to increase the overall impact of the initiative.
