Abstract

The European Commission and Member States are called upon to recognise the novel potential of Converging Technologies (CTs) to advance the Lisbon Agenda. Wise investment in CTs stimulates science and technology research, strengthens economic competitiveness, and addresses the needs of European societies and their citizens. Preparatory action should be taken to implement CT as a thematic research priority, to develop Converging Technologies for the European Knowledge Society (CTEKS) as a specifically European approach to CTs, and to establish a CTEKS research community
