The specific objectives are to: Develop sustainable cooperation strategies; disseminate information and promote cooperation; and organise and support cooperative events between Korea and the EU. Work packages have been organized to ensure effective delivery of these objectives. They will create: a website portal to European-Korean S&T collaboration; an online database of researchers involved in interdisciplinary and collaborative EU-Korean research; information/help desk services for researchers seeking collaboration opportunities; networks of researchers involved in and interested in collaboration, and fora to share information and experiences; promotion of existing collaboration and opportunities for new collaboration; bilateral research networks to promote collaboration; and thematic networks in areas of mutual priority.
