Complementary Information
Two members of the EFFRA team interact with representatives of the European Commission and, to a lesser extent, representatives of other European institutions.
EFFRA is in contact with, and works closely with, European Commissions staff because EFFRA is the official representative of the private side in the European Union's 'Factories of the Future' public-private partnership. The public side is represented by the European Commission (DG Research & DG Connect).
However the majority of time is spent running the Association, conducting EFFRA's other activities etc.Person in charge of EU relations
