This project RUSERA aims at enhancing the cooperation with promising Russian regions with a high scientific potential. The new INCO-FP6 programme defines Russia as a region, for the participation 3 organisation out of 3 different Russian provinces are eligible. To improve the Regional Information Nodes necessary skills training courses will be organised with experienced experts form EU.
Information Days on EU RTD-Programmes focusing INCO-will be held in 37 regions.
