"The International Scientific Dimension in Framework Programme 7 (2007-2013) and Success Stories from Previous Framework Programmes" |

The international scientific cooperation policy of the EU aims at developing cooperation to generate, share and use knowledge through equitable research partnerships taking into account the country, regional and socio-economic context and knowledge base of partner countries. The strategic approach is to enhance EU competitiveness and global sustainable development through such partnerships between the EU and third countries at bilateral, regional and global levels based on mutual interest and benefit. To this end the EU’s role as a global player is also promoted through multilateral international research programmes. The international cooperation in scientific research is tightly connected to mainstream policy issues of the EU in order to address its international commitments and to contribute to sharing European values, competitiveness, socio-economic progress and welfare under the umbrella of global sustainable development.
Specifically, International cooperation in FP7 aims to support an international Science and Technology policy that has two interdependent objectives:
To support and promote European competitiveness through strategic research partnerships with third countries including highly industrialised and emerging economies in science and technology by engaging the best third country scientists to work in and with Europe.
To address specific problems that third countries face or that have a global character, on the basis of mutual interest and mutual benefit.
With FP6 coming to its end this year and while looking ahead to FP7, some representative examples of International Scientific Cooperation in FP6 will be showcased during the talk. |
