International Cooperation 1

Program: The Seventh European Framework Program (FP7)

To become more competitive and play a leading role globally, the European Community needs a strong and coherent international science and technology policy with three objectives: support European competitiveness through strategic partnerships with non-EU countries in selected fields of science and by engaging the best scientists from such countries to work with and in Europe;
enhance the production of knowledge and scientific excellence by enabling European universities, research institutions and firms to establish contacts with their partners in such third countries, thereby facilitating access to research environments outside Europe and promoting synergies on a global scale;
address specific problems that third countries face, or that have a global character, on the basis of mutual interest and mutual benefit.

Topics:
Bi-regional coordination of S&T cooperation including priority setting and definition of S&T cooperation policies;
