2nd INCO Conference - Supporting Research Integration
[27-28 Sep 2011]

>> The theme for the 2011 conference revolves around issues of International Research and Development co-operation to address global challenges, with particular, but not exclusive, focus on African EU Science and Technology co-operation.

>> The EU has opened to Third countries the Framework Program (FP), its main central funding instrument for scientific research. The current FP, the 7th Framework Programme (FP7), lasts from 2007 through 2013. To maximise impact, funding for international research activities is spread throughout the various activities of FP7, with limited exceptions, while the INCO program is specially designed to support the participation of third countries in FP7.

>> The objectives of the INCO Conference 2011 are to:

Outline the policy for international S&T co-operation and global challenges,
Examine the experiences of S&T partnership initiative
Discuss International co-operation in the Common Strategic Framework for Research and Innovation.
