FP7-INCO-2011-6: ERA-WIDE
On July 30, 2010 the European Commission will launch a new round of 7th Framework Programme (FP7) calls, including call FP7-INCO-2011-6: Integrating Europe's neighbours into the European Research Area (ERA-WIDE).
The objective of this action is to reinforce the cooperation capacities of research centers located in the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) countries, which are not associated to FP7, in the thematic priorities of FP7. Thus, ERA-WIDE proposals should target one of the following countries:
- Eastern Europe and South Caucasus: Moldova, Georgia, Ukraine, Belarus, Armenia and Azerbaijan;
- Mediterranean Partnership countries: Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Palestinian Authority, Syria and Tunisia.
In this connection, the call can serve to improve the research activities capacity of a research center in Moldova in the context of its integration into the European Research Area (the research center in Moldova, targeted by the proposal, should assume the role of the project coordinator).
The ERA-WIDE activities covered by the call are:
- Networking with research centers in Member States or Associated Countries in view of disseminating scientific information, identifying partners and setting up joint experiments;
- Developing training modules to build competency and facilitate the participation in FP7 of the centers located in the targeted third countries;
- Developing the research centers’ strategy in order to increase their scope (regional coverage, activities) and to improve their responses to the socio-economic needs of their countries and of the region.
The call will be announced by the Commission European on July 30, 2010.
