EARTO Innovation Prize

EARTO has instituted the EARTO Innovation Prize, which was awarded for the first time in 2009, in order to promote the RTO profession to the widest possible business, political and general public.

RTOs have a distinct mission and a key role in the knowledge and innovation economy: they produce, integrate and transfer science and technology to help
resolve the grand challenges confronting society and to exploit opportunities for new wealth creation and, hence, improved standards of living.

RTOs accomplish their mission through a portfolio of activities and services:

• monitoring social and economic developments in order to anticipate and identify future science and technology needs;

• strategic research to develop new knowledge and technologies for future application;

• collaborative and contract research to develop technologies for specific applications and clients, and

• knowledge transfer to ensure the widest possible diffusion and adoption of technologies.

The EARTO Innovation Prize was created to reward outstanding innovations from EARTO members and to highlight the important role of RTOs in a modern European innovative economy.
