Opening up the European research area to the Mediterranean countries

Objective

An analysis of the results of the INCO-Med Programmes shows that a number of participants from Mediterranean Partner Countries enjoyed moderate success from their involvement in these Programmes. Early surveys show that Mediterranean countries would benefi t from an improved understanding of the significance, the content and the participation procedures of the EU RTD programmes. The opening up of FP6 and future FPs to participants from this region and the willingness of the European Commission to open the Eu ropean Research Area to the rest of the world makes this lack of understanding a serious obstacle to achieving the desired integration. One reason for the lack of understanding is the absence of a support infrastructure in most of the Mediterranean countri es to aid participation in the FPs. In fact only Israel, Turkey, Malta and Cyprus (Associated or Candidate Countries) have such a structure of National Contact Points (NCPs), a structure otherwise lacking among other Mediterranean countries. The proposed p roject aims specifically to fill this gap by designing and implementing a set of measures for the creation of a fully operational network of Information Points (InPs) in four Mediterranean countries: Algeria, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon. It is envisaged that the results of this project will constitute a valuable benchmarking exercise in the EU's future outreach R&D activities in the Mediterranean region.'
