A meeting of the National Focal Points for Science and Technology of the Central European Initiative took place on 8-10 July 2013 in Trieste.
The objective was to provide an in-depth analysis of the CEI pilot projects to promote research and innovation through centers and groups of scientific excellence in the West Balkans, the Danube Region and other CEI countries.
These pilot projects, which will involve the 18 CEI member countries, envisage 10 advanced research programmes, interdisciplinary by nature, based on the world recognized strengths of the institutions belonging to the CEI Science and Technology Network based in Trieste. Some of the institutions making up the Network are international by statute: International Center for Theoretical Physics (ICTP, a branch of UNESCO and IAEA) and the International Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (ICGEB, an intergovernmental organization of its own, related to the UN family).
Others are international by vocation: the Elettra-Sincrotrone and the Fermi Free Electron Laser Laboratories; the International School for Advanced Scientific Studies (SISSA); the Institute for Oceanography and Experimental Geophysics (OGS) and Area Science Park.
