News archive - DG Enlargement Progress Report for Montenegro: Science and Research
The Progress Reports presented by DG Enlargement also contain an assessment of developments in the field of science and research (in the chapter dealing with education, research and culture). In the following we present this specific paragraphs from the report on Montenegro to our readers.
As regards research, a special department dealing with science, research and technological development was established within the Ministry of Education and Science. Montenegro participated actively in the Seventh EC Framework Programme for research and technological development (FP7). It nominated observers for various programme committees and the European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructure and managed its financial contribution.
Information days on FP7 were organised in order to encourage participation and several cooperation projects are under way. Montenegro has also been very active in international cooperation in the Steering Platform for the Western Balkan countries. However, more efforts could be made to involve small and medium-sized enterprises and on Marie Curie projects. Based on the strategy on scientific research activities for the period 2008-2016, Montenegro has taken a number of steps towards integration into the European Research Area, such as introduction of a young researcher programme.
