Barbara Haering Co-Chair of the European Research and Innovation Area Board

The European Union and the countries that are party to its Research Framework Programme, among them Switzerland, strive to concentrate their research and innovation policy measures in a joint structure where expedient. The "Innovation Union" is intended to develop a perspective covering the period up to 2020 in order to contribute towards intelligent, sustainable and integrative growth in Switzerland. To support this, the EU Commission established the European Research and Innovation Area Board in late February 2012. The first plenary meeting of the new body took place on 27/28 September in Brussels. Switzerland plays a key role in European research cooperation. In view of this and of her personal outstanding achievements in public and private office, particularly also as a long-standing member of the European Research Council, the EU Commission appointed Barbara Haering as a member of the new Board. The Board itself elected her Co-Chair.
