News archive - Official EC-Support for the Use of IPA Funds for Research
On October 10, 2006, an important letter was sent to all ministers of the Western Balkan countries: Olli Rehn, Commissioner responsible for Enlargement reaffirmed that education in connection with research is the key element for the knowledge economy. He informs that “DG Enlargement is now preparing the Multi Indicative Planning Documents (MIPD 2007-2009) which are programming the assistance under the new Instrument for Pre-accession Assistance, IPA. The sectors of higher education and research have been identified among the priority areas both in the National and Multi-Beneficiary MIPD.”
Also Commissioner Potočnik (and his services) insisted on this synergy between IPA and research. It is now clear that all necessary efforts will be taken by the Commission services to ensure adequate attention and resources for projects in the fields of education and research.
