efficiency.

Reduce the number of Europeans

living below national

poverty lines by 25%, lifting

develop a new indicator to track

innovation.

Digital Agenda for Europe

• Fast and ultrafast internet access• More interoperability and better standards

• Greater trust and security

• Greater investment in R&D&I

The US has a strong position in high R&D-intensity sectors; EU in medium and low sectors

Digital Agenda for Europe

• Fast and ultrafast internet access• More interoperability and better standards

• Greater trust and security

• Greater investment in R&D&I

• ICTs that spread wider social benefits

• There are 45 million diabetes II patients in EU27. What if 20% would be remotely monitored and treated ?

• Creates a market of 6.5 B€, which is also an expenditure for healthcare…• Compensated by the estimated reduction in hospitalisation of costs…• Offset macroeconomic benefits if we consider the monetary value of additional life years

e Learning e -Skills

We need to prepare students for jobs that do not yet exist !

We need to exploit the a range of novel learning mechanisms for acquiring skills. This is more than acquiring “digital competences” !

e.g. Informal (non-formal) learning is a powerful & under-utilised capacity, but how to balance / integrate formal & non-formal learning ?
