News archive - FP6: Project Synopsis International Cooperation with WBC (Environment and Health)

An overview on all FP6 Projects in the field of International Cooperation with the Western Balkan countries (Environment and Health) has been published. This gives a good overview on funded projects and also participation of WBC in these activities.

The document is a catalogue of all specific targeted research projects (STREPs) and coordination actions projects (CAs) supported under the specific programme “International Cooperation - Integrating and Strengthening the European Research Area” of the 6th Framework programme. Each project is identified by its objectives, its activity area and the expected results and includes the list of all participating organisations and contact persons. It is available for download also in our document service:
