International Cooperation - Funding Funding Ø Third country identified in the Work Programme or Ø participation deemed by the Commission essential in the action or Ø when provided under a bilateral scientific and technological agreement
Participation deemed by the Commission essential in the action Ad hoc funding: the Commission, on the basis of the recommendation of the independent expert evaluators, may consider the participation as essential because it provides: Ø outstanding competence/expertise Ø access to research infrastructure Ø access to particular geographical environments Ø access to data
Benefits of Participation in transnational collaborative R&D projects • Sharing complementary knowledge & experience • Economies of scale & expanded scope • Increased research quality • Efficiency, speed and impact gains • Joining existing/ creating new networks & contacts • + many indirect benefits … − New research avenues − Exchange possibilities − Cross-disciplinary/ cross-border fertilization − …
