  1. EUROPEAN CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY PLATFORM Adrian M Joyce Senior Adviser Architects’ Council of Europe Ankara, 13th October 2006 Presentation prepared by Elzbieta Syrda of ASM, Poland

  2. European Technology Platforms – what are they? „… we see technology platforms as a smart, European way of working together to support industrial competitiveness (…) I have been struck by their enthusiasm and professionalism and their readiness to grasp this opportunity to become powerful actors in making the European Research Area a reality (…) The Commision services will continue to do all they can to facilitate this important and welcome development.” Janez Potocnik European Commissioner for Science and Research

  3. European Technology Platforms – how do they work? Stakeholders, led by industry, come together to agree a common vision for the technology. Stakeholders define a Strategic Research Agenda setting out the necessary objectives for the technology. Stakeholders implement the SRAwith the mobilisation of human and financial resources.

  4. The European Council for Construction Research, Development and Innovation (ECCREDI) brings together a number of key actors in the Construction Sector in 1995 • ECCREDI identified Technology Platforms as a powerful vehicle for promoting research in the construction sector • ECCREDI with the guidance of the European Commission undertook the early work in defining the parameters for a Technology Platform for the construction sector (October 2003 onwards)

  5. ECTP is an initiative to mobilise the construction sector, to be changed through Research, Development and Innovation, in orderto satisfy the needs of society • ECTPwill take the sector to a “new and better” high level, by identifying and analysing the major challenges in terms of society, sustainability, technology, competitiveness, etc. • Anindustrial driven platform with the industrial commitment and the contribution of all the stakeholders, in order to reach the 3% GDP on research (1/3 public; 2/3 industry)
