2 MITA international cooperation Agency for Science, Innovation and Technology (MITA) is the main governmental institution, responsible for implementation of innovation policy in Lithuania. Participation in international networking activities (Horizon 2020, FP7 national contact point s network, EUREKA national coordinators network, etc.) Membership in TAFTIE (The European Network of Innovation Agencies) MITA also distributes significant amount of national funds for R&D support and acts as an expert agency for funding applications evaluation. In 2013 MITA administered projects amounting to 11 mln. EUR

3 Collaboration in Horizon 2020 projects Life Sciences: Healthcare biotechnology and regenerative medicine Cancer research and personalized treatment Innovative medical technologies Digital and molecular pathology and disease biobanks Healthcare IT and bioinformatics Food technologies and product development Energy: Smart grids Smart cities + district heating Modelling and analysing energy systems Biofuel Energy storage Nano materials, bateries

4 Collaboration in Horizon 2020 projects Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) Access to EGI, BalticGRID resources Creation of massive data management and analysis algorithms Grid Calculations and creation of algorithms for video and audio processing Cloud HPC Optimization and creation of analytical algorithms of business process data visualization and analysis Relocation and data analysis of business processes Development of management and analytical algorithms of sensors and stream data Creation of data analysis models

5 Collaboration in Horizon 2020 projects Nanotechnology, Materials and Manufacturing (NMM) Comprehensive characterization of materials using various methods of interaction of electromagnetic radiation with matter in ultra-wide spectral range. Synthesis and characterization of functional materials; Quantitative and qualitative chemical analysis; Multifunctional materials and nano-structural polymers Development and research of multifunctional materials and composites; testing of materials, assessment and analysis of their qualitative indicators. New materials for high-tech (functional molecules and materials; smart materials) Fibre-based materials for non-clothing applications Materials for severe operating conditions, including addedvalue functionalities.

6 Open R&D Network in Lithuania The biggest excellence network of innovation infrastructure, services and competence in the Baltic countries Modern, operating R&D facilities, equipment, services and high-level R&D intellectual potential is easily accessible and concentrated in the laboratories of five integrated science, studies and business valleys that work like Open Access Centres (OAC).
