Innovation is for the first time accorded an equal role in the Secretariat for Research and Technology, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said on Tuesday at the first session of the National Council on Research, Technology, and Innovation, according to ANA. "This is precisely an example of the government's will to link research with innovation and this, in turn, with the economy," he said, noting that this was the reason why the specific secretariat was transferred to the development ministry. The PM noted that the Greek researchers' union will for the first time participate in the Council's meetings, while the new body will be responsible for encouraging public sector organizations to incorporate research results and innovative products generated by the General Secretariat for Research and Technology in their operations.
