The optimal usage of this resource represents a unique opportunity for Eastern European member countries. It could serve as a basis for closing up to more developed EU members, at the same time, it provides an opportunity to be an equal competitor under equal competition conditions after 2020. At the beginning of this period, there is a chance to assess the tasks, the most important roles and responsibilities of innovation networks. This conference having a tradition of over 25 year offers a discussion, a useful talk dedicated to this assessment.
