Stakeholder Workshops on Operational Groups
What is an Operational Group? How can I create one? How do I get funding? As project funding is coming on tap for EIP operational groups, we will organise a series of stakeholder workshops in the Member States. The events will deal with the question of how to set up Operational Groups and will provide the participants with ample opportunity to network with potential project partners. The first workshop will take place in February and another four will follow in the coming months. More information will be available on the EIP events page by the end of January. |

Best Practice
Romanian innovation turns waste into money
As a researcher in wine chemistry and wine microbiology, Simona Bisboaca from Oradea (Romania) observed that during the wine-making process, very often the grape seeds, skins and pulp remains were left unused by the local wine-makers. As there were no available solutions for putting these natural residues to use in some way, they were regarded as waste. Ms Bisboaca identified that this so-called waste possessed a significant potential for reuse. As she has always had an interest in the medical benefits of wine anti-oxidants, she came up with the idea of developing a pharmaceutical product rich in anti-oxidants. Read more here.
