ACES Awards
The awards gives public recognition to those researchers, engineers, professors, students and government officials in Europe who have done the most in 2009 to foster a culture of enterprise on campus. This can be through taking the risk of launching a spinout company, developing a discovery into a marketable innovation (at the risk of the tenure-track publication record), or promoting policies that create a receptive environment for entrepreneurship on campus.

Science|Business
Science|Business is the first independent news service that brings together buyers and sellers of emerging technologies - through its online news coverage, its subscriber-posting service, and its exclusive networking events. It does so with a top-quality news team, and a unique network of Europe’s leading scientific institutions. They include the University of Cambridge, ETH Zürich, Karolinska Institutet, and Imperial College London. Our editorial team is drawn from the world’s top science and business publications. It is led by Richard L. Hudson and Peter Wrobel, former managing editors at the Wall Street Journal Europe and the leading science journal Nature. A global network of leading business and science journalists joins them to provide the smartest, and most international, perspectives on the commercialisation of science. They are advised by some of Europe’s leading academic and business figures. And they are determined to break the mould in science journalism - to bring business intelligence and multi-disciplinary insight to the very earliest stages of R&D.
The Science|Business Innovation Board
To encourage public dialogue about innovation policy in Europe, the Science|Business news service and Microsoft Corp. in 2007 created a blue-ribbon panel of leaders in industry, academia and policy. The Science|Business Innovation Board meets twice a year to debate important aspects of European innovation policy, and to formulate recommendations for policy action. The aim: to use the collective experience of the board members to improve the climate for innovation in Europe. Organisation and reporting of the Board’s work is by the Science|Business news service.
The Board has published policy recommendations on entrepreneurship, innovation clusters, and economic stimulus investment, and has had its views reported widely across Europe in the Financial Times, Le Figaro, La Tribune, De Standaard, El Pais, the Wall Street Journal Europe and other publications. It serves as jury for the annual ACES Academic Enterprise Awards, and is participating in this Innovation Economy event.
