News archive - Launch of the WBC Information Platform on Research, Technology and Innovation

We are happy to announce the launch of WBC Information Platform on Research, Technology and Innovation as of June 30, 2015. The Platform is funded by Austrian Federal Ministry of Science, Research and Economy and it builds upon very successful WBC-INCO.NET platform (project funded under the 7th Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development; Contract Number: 212029).

The core objectives of the Information Platform are:

  • to support dissemination of high quality information via the WBC-RTI.info website, monthly thematic newsletters and social media (Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter) 
  • to provide analytical support on specific thematic RTDI issues such as Evaluation, RTDI statistics, Research funding etc.
  • to support the bi-regional dialogue on science, technology and innovation by benefiting from and interacting with the Steering Platform on Research for the Western Balkan countries

Following the support function of the WBC-INCO.NET Platform to the  Steering Platform on Research for the Western Balkan countries,  WBC-RTI.info intends to continue this support through thematic eNewsletter, analytical studies and reports and dedicated Steering Platform area on the website where among others yearly countries’ progress reports on cooperation in/with WBC and presentations from Steering Platforms can be found.
