New sounding board for NRP 73

NRP 73 has set up a sounding board comprising representatives from business, civil society, public authorities and politics. The overall aim of the sounding board is to ensure the transfer of knowledge from research to practice and thus to contribute to needed economic and societal changes by increasing prosperity while at the same time minimising resource and energy consumption.

To this end, knowledge transfer will be promoted at the programme and project level to make private, public and other stakeholders aware of the potential of a sustainable economy. In particular, the sounding board will:

• provide information about the status of NRP 73 research projects
• promote exchange between researchers and practitioners
• ensure the practical application of the research
• solicit different perspectives and
• take note of developments that may be relevant to NRP 73.
