The European Commission will formally establish a subgroup of at
least eight EU commissioners with a stake in innovation policy when it
meets this week.
The committee, chaired by Máire Geoghegan-Quinn, the EU's commissioner for research, innovation and science, will work on a new research and innovation strategy due to be published in the autumn.
A full meeting of the College of Commissioners last Wednesday (14 April) has already discussed the outline of the plan and the new working group will be expected to flesh out the proposal over the coming months.
The final composition of the Commission's innovation subgroup will be agreed this week but it is expected to include Antonio Tajani (Industry and Entrepreneurship), Johannes Hahn (Regional Policy), László Andor (Employment), Neelie Kroes (Digital Agenda), Androulla Vassiliou (Education), Michel Barnier (Internal Market), and Günther Oettinger (Energy).
