Specific support actions for Mediterranean partner countries
The European Commission has published a call for proposals for specific support actions for Mediterranean partner countries under the Sixth Framework Programme. This is one of the areas covered by the 'Integrating and strengthening the European Research Area' specific programme. Activities in this area (10.6.2 B in the work programme) will be funded under the specific support action instrument. The general objective of international cooperation activities carried out under the Framework Programme is to help open up the European Research Area to the rest of the world. These activities represent the particular contribution of the Framework Programme to this opening-up process, which will require a joint effort by the Community and the Member States. All thematic issues within the Mediterranean partner countries section are covered by this call (area 10.3.1.B of the work programme). The budget for this call is 0.6 million euro in 2003. The indicative budgets for 2004 to 2006 will be given in periodic updates of the work programme.To see the call text, please visit: http://fp6.cordis.lu/fp6/call_details.cfm?CALL_ID=43(opens in new window)
