Objective
The overall objective of MED-IST is to bring the Mediterranean Partner Countries closer to the European Framework Programme in the field of Information Society Technologies. This will be done through an open consultation process where the national bodies responsible for formulating their research strategy will come together with the active research community to review current research policies and develop appropriate guidelines in view of both their own needs and the IST priorities of FP7. This consultation process will not only result in recommendations for each MPC but also for the Framework priorities to take specific needs of the MPC into account. The final outcome will be recommendation guidelines for a strategic research agenda focusing on a closer co-operation between Europe and the MPC.
Furthermore, MED-IST will target the research communities directly with active promotion events for the Framework Programme opportunities as well as by identifying suitable research organisations and IT companies in that region, training them on the procedural aspects and providing assistance in finding co-operation partners in Europe. In particular, focused mentoring workshops/tutorials will be organised in order to train the identified organisations on the procedures and opportunities for co-operation in the IST programme. The workshops will address the training needs and research & development capabilities of the MPC organisations.
MED-IST will prepare a "Directory of MPC Organisations" that will include research institutes, universities, IT companies, technology developers as well as independent researchers. This Directory will be one of the key elements in building new networks between Europe and the MPC.
Finally, MED-IST project will develop an Internet Portal supporting all activities of the project. This portal will also serve as a common information point for the MPC for IST in FP7 and as in interactive collaboration platform.
