Integration of EU enlargement countries in the European Research Area:
Organised by the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK), the workshop aims to bring together the EU candidate countries and western Balkan countries in search of a common ground in cooperating and participating in the EU research programmes. During the initial day of the event, the EU and Potential Candidate Countries (all western Balkan countries and Turkey) will make presentations on their experiences and lessons learned.
During the second day, the prospects and difficulties of EU enlargement countries integrating into the ERA and suggestions (such as establishing regional networks, specific calls, mobility of researchers) for further cooperation will be discussed.
The final outcome of this conference will be the 'Second Common Ideas Paper' which will be presented to the European Commission.For more information, please visit:
