SERVICEGAP
Service Sector Performance and its contributions to the Europe 2020 strategy: Results and policy implications arising from the SERVICEGAP and INDICSER projects
Are you interested in the policy implications generated from SERVICEGAP? Will you be in Brussels on Tuesday 29 and/or Wednesday 30 January 2013? CEPS is hosting a policy conference on these dates, presenting the main results of the SERVICEGAP and INDICSER projects, providing an in-depth overview of the economic performance of the services sector and its impact on EU growth.
The workshop is open to all, with each session designed to be stand alone so you can choose which to attend (there is no need to pre-register, just turn up!). You can download the Programme and presentations (which will be made available as soon as possible after the meeting), via the INDICSER website.

About SERVICEGAP
In the past decade the performance of service industries has come to the forefront of research on Europe's comparative economic performance, especially as the benefits from the use of information and communications technology (ICT) have been concentrated in these industries. The SERVICEGAP project will consider the academic and policy concerns that arise from the increasing importance of the market service sector. It will consider developments in productivity and its drivers within market services, linkages between services and manufacturing industries, innovation in delivery and the increasing internationalisation of services. The overall objective of this research is to produce a comprehensive study on the impact of market services on aggregate economic growth in the EU and its comparative performance relative to competitor regions, especially the US.
