Abstract
The concept of Knowledge Triangle highlights the importance of jointly fostering research, education, and innovation, and of paying due attention to the linkages between them. The policy initiatives that have followed the launch of the Lisbon Strategy have correctly put a strong emphasis on progress in the research, education, and innovation areas. Greater attention should be now paid to those links between policy domains that are still missing. To move forward in this direction, governance is a crucial aspect to be improved at EU level. A new streamlined EU knowledge agenda should be put at the core of the post-2010 EU Strategy. It should rely on a more integrated R&D and innovation policy strongly connected with key relevant elements of education and training. Reinforced governance mechanisms, based on a stronger and more integrated Open Method of Coordination for research and innovation policies, will be crucial to ensure its implementation
