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

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 SRA with the
mobilisation of human and financial resources.

• 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)

• ECTP is an initiative to mobilise the
  construction sector, to be changed through
  Research, Development and Innovation, in order to
  satisfy the needs of society
• ECTP will 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.
  
• An industrial 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)
