As part of the European Economic Recovery Plan, the Commission has launched in 2009 three Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs). The three PPPs represent a powerful means of boosting research efforts in three large industrial sectors - automotive, construction and manufacturing - which have been particularly affected by the economic downturn and where innovation can significantly contribute towards a more green and sustainable economy.

In order to support the preparation of proposals, the Directorates General for Research, Information Society and Media, Energy, and for Mobility and Transport of the European Commission are holding a Joint Information Day on 9 July 2010 in the Charlemagne building, rue de la Loi 170, in Brussels.
