During the SEE-ERA.NET PLUS monitoring meeting in Vienna, (April 23-24, 2012) the coordinator of the project SEELEGUMES, Branko Cupina (Professor at the University of Novi Sad, Faculty of Agriculture, Serbia), and the coordinator of the project ThermalMapper, Andreas Nüchter (Professor at Jacobs University Bremen, School of Engineering and Science), shared their experiences for the WBC-INCO.NET journal in short interviews highlighting once again the importance of cooperation and knowledge transfer in STI. Read the interviews here.

• Sustainable preservation of indigenous South East European legumes and their traditional food and feed products (SEELEGUMES)
• Thermal 3D Modeling of Indoor Environments for Saving Energy

The funding list contains all projects that were selected for funding in 2010 and as well information on the topic/content of the projects and the particular partnerships are presented. All projects are currently running and will be implemented according to the timeframe indicated. You can find as well the funding amount for each funded project.
