Call for proposals for reinforcing cooperation with European Neighbourhood Policy countries on bridging the gap between research and innovation (R2I-ENP)
The European Commission has published a call for proposals for Reinforcing cooperation with European Neighbourhood Policy countries on bridging the gap between research and innovation (R2I-ENP). The document is part of the latest set of calls published under the EU's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7). Working towards the development of a "Common Knowledge and Innovation Space" is one of the priorities of cooperation between EU and European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) countries. In this context, the R2I-ENP activity will focus on bridging the gap between research and innovation by better aligning research objectives with socio-economic needs and improving performance in managing, transferring and using the know-how resulting from research. The proposals should involve various stakeholders, including research organisations, industry including SMEs (preferably at the level of their representative associations), science parks and innovation clusters, national and regional research and innovation funding agencies, intermediary organisations providing innovation support services, national and regional authorities as well as end users communities.To see the official call announcement, please consult: Participant Portal To see partnership requests for this call, please consult: CORDIS Partners Service
