The R and D Management Conference 2014

Connecting research and development with future markets is the topic of the international R and D Management Conference 2014, which Fraunhofer IAO will be hosting for the first time in Stuttgart from June 3 to 6. The conference will live up to its motto, Management of Applied R and D, by offering a unique mix of scientific presentations and stimuli from industry to an expected audience of around 200 international participants. With the aim of ensuring a close connection with industry throughout, the call for papers itself is structured into three broad categories - R and D Organization and Efficiency, Strategic R and D and Technology Management, and Innovative IT Systems in R and D - so as to underline the relevance of the submissions to industry. Special sessions on selected topics such as R and D Management in Emerging Economies or Sustainability and R&D Management will each be jointly led by a representative from the field of research and one from industry.
