Out now: EWI Review 10
The central theme of this edition of the EWI Review focuses on recent initiatives designed to inspire a greater interest and keenness amongst our young people for science, technology and entrepreneurship.
You can read about the research report on this subject, recently published by Flanders DC. And that Flanders can be innovative in this respect has been proven by the project ‘MyMachine’, which even won a United Nations award. Our interview also shows that the sensitisation of target groups – for example, low-opportunity teenagers who are tired of school – can lead to the discovery of new entrepreneurs.
In addition, we will briefly sketch developments in the EWI landscape, with a summary of the most important organisations and actors. We will also devote attention to the strategic advisory councils for this policy domain, to the work of a Flemish scientific institute – this time the Research Institute for Nature and Forest – and to the Flemish Policy Research Centre for Environment and Health. There will be an update of the EWI’s contribution to the Belgian presidency of the EU and a look forward to the World Exhibition in Shanghai. Finally, you can learn how Flemish industry is preparing for the future.
We would also like to announce the appointment (effective since 1 April 2010) of Mr. Dirk Van Melkebeke as Secretary-General of the EWI Department. You can look forward to hearing more from him in the introduction to the next edition of the EWI Review.

What is EWI Review?
EWI Review is the quarterly magazine of the department of Economy, Science and Innovation (EWI) of the Flemish government. Each edition explores a central theme which is of current relevance to the economy, science and innovation policy domain, but also to society at large. Both internal and external experts contribute to the issue. A number of fixed rubrics complete the new EWI Review.
EWI Review is available in Dutch and English.
