RESEARCH TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT AND INNOVATION PLAN

[MWP admin]

Dear All,

We are convening two environment-related consultations on 2 March at Villa Bighi - the first will relate to the RTDI Plan and this is will be followed by a dedicated session on ETAP. I enclose the programme for the event and a horizon scanning report.
We would appreciate it if you could bring this event to the attention of other colleagues and we hope to see you at both events.

best

Jennifer
