intensive sectors, pharma/advanced materials/services/transport/energy, etc.)

• Issue 4: Making and implementing policy across government stovepipes)

• Issue 5: enabling and encouraging DB to contribute to meeting Grand Challenges

Purpose and structure of World Cafe

• Purpose – to develop recommendations for policy ‘in light of’ DBI: • helping it develop, • improving policy effectiveness and coordination, • taking DBI into account when making, assessing and implementing

policy.• H2020 – work programme, modalities, instruments (options and SWOT)• Not just H2020

• Structure• Initial selection of issues• Division into tables (one per issue) with ‘host’ and ‘harvester’• Discussion of specific questions

• Common across tables• Different priority per table
