The CREST Working Group on “Internationalisation of R&D - Facing the Challenge of Globalisation: Approaches to a Proactive International Policy in S&T” has finalised its work in the end of 2008.
The aim of the working group, comprising all 27 EU countries as well as the countries associated to FP7, was to analyse the approaches of the EU Member States and Associated States in S&T&I cooperation with Third States. Furthermore, “good practice” models und “lessons learnt” in international S&T cooperation were collected and different strategies and initiatives were discussed.
