2 INTRODUCTION Competitive Intelligence is becoming part of the manager s day-to-day vocabulary. After raising the question (during the 1 st symposium ATELIS in 2005) about the overall perception (mode/fashion effect or new methodological approach in the development of companies and countries) it is important to study the emerging topics related to Competitive Intelligence practices, such as competence evolution, ethics or territorial development further, at a European level, SYMPOSIUM OBJECTIVE ATELIS formed a partnership with CEGE-ISEG to organize the second edition of the CI symposium with a view to cohesion and European ouverture. The objective is to promote dialogue between the actors, public or private, that have developed original actions in Competitive Intelligence and allow them to present their experiences. The purpose of this symposium is to reflect on the possibility of a European Model of Competitive Intelligence, allowing the opening of new paths of experimentation to assist public and private decision-makers. SEQUENCE OF EVENTS The symposium will focus on workshops which will bring together professionals, experts, institutional bodies, academics and players from all sectors who wish to speak about their experiences in Competitive Intelligence.
