It is estimated that Europe will be short of up to one million scientists in years to come. Even worse, this deficit is expected to grow, the situation is alarming especially among young people.

That is why the 2009 - was proposed as the European Year of Innovation and Creativity - a cross-cutting initiative covering not only education and culture but also other policy domains such as enterprise, media and research. It should include promotion of good practices, debates, meetings and conferences and projects on national and European level.

One of the EPP-ED Group initiatives in the frame of the European Year of Innovation and Creativity 2009 is the hearing on «European Innovating Minds» proposed by M. Jaroslav ZVĔŘINA, MEP, Committee on Culture and Education.
