- Improve STI visibility, mutual knowledge and information flow between Tunisia and EU in the fields of research, innovation and technology transfer related to the Thematic Priority Areas;
- Contribute to the improvement of researchers and technologists mobility and foster EU-Tunisia STI institution cooperation;
- Develop a Tunisian expertise on European Community STI instruments to support local institutions (organisations and enterprises) and act as multiplier for cooperation in R&D programmes and transnational technology transfer. To achieve the above objectives, STREN foresees the following activities:

- The organisation of 3 trainings on STI management subjects and EU FP6 and a further expert exchange programme to complete the mutual knowledge of ERA System;
- The establishment of a network of 10 Tunisian experts that can act as support desk for the creation of new STI projects and technology transfer initiatives among EU, Tunisia and other INCO countries in the FP6 and, in future, FP7.
