This symposium is designed to facilitate a dialogue about the societal benefits of RFID technologies. Discussion will focus on three current RFID technology applications: environmental protection and sustainability, healthcare delivery, and supply chain security.
As part of the 2007 framework for Advancing Transatlantic Economic Integration between the European Union and the United States, the U.S.-EU Summit Leaders identified priority growth projects that will significantly enhance transatlantic economic integration, growth, and job creation. One of these "Lighthouse Projects" is Innovation and Technology, and cooperation on Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technologies is singled out for specific joint action.
The event will feature representatives from transatlantic businesses and U.S. and EU government agencies currently employing RFID technology, user groups, and other organizations involved in the development and application of RFID.
