The ensuing debate confirmed the Commis­Europe sion's view that the problem should be tackled on a broad front. At the June summit of EU heads of state and government, held in Florence, the Commission was invited to draw up an action plan of measures to stimulate innovation. The Commission has now published its first action plan. It addresses three key issues: how to foster a real innovation cul­ture in Europe, how to make sure that the environment in Europe allows innovation to thrive, and how to improve the link between Europe's research capabilities and innovation. CONTENTS This special edition of Innovation & Technology Transfer presents the main points and also includes a detailed digest of the plan's contents. A series of tables summarizes the proposed INTRODUCTION: measures and indicates how each should be implemented: by the Commission or in Member States.
