EIT Awareness Day in the UK

On 3 October 2012, the Department for Business Innovation and Skills hosted a high-level stakeholder conference to raise awareness of the KICs' role and scope to UK stakeholders.
The Conference provided a forum to put questions directly to the EIT Governing Board, KIC participants and UK delivery partners.
Speakers at the Conference included David Willetts, Minister of State for Universities and Science, Xavier Prats Monne, Deputy Director-General for Education and Culture, European Commission, Malcolm Harbour, UK MEP, Alexander von Gabain, Chairman of the EIT Governing Board, Jose Manuel Leceta, Director of the EIT and CEOs from the current three KICs (Climate-KIC, EIT ICT Labs and KIC InnoEnergy) as well as a range of high-level UK stakeholder representatives.
