SEA-EU-NET: Facilitating the Bi-regional EU-ASEAN Science and Technology Dialogue
SEA-EU-NET will increase the quality, quantity, profile and impact of bi-regional Science and Technology (S&T) cooperation between the ten member countries of the Association of South-east Asian Nations (ASEAN) and the Member- and Associated States of the European Union (EU). Excellent S&T is key to achieving sustainable development, prosperity and continued economic growth. It is essential for a strong knowledge-based economy, and underpins the policies necessary for good governance, and contributes to cohesive social visions and models. S&T excellence requires global connectivity and an ongoing dialogue
Thus, this proposal not only supports the internationalisation policy of the EU, and in particular the specific objectives of the Seventh Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development (FP7) of EU, but also contributes to the S&T foundation essential to the EU’s political, economic and social objectives. There is great potential in strengthening the participation of SEA in FP7 and for a conjoint European involvement in SEA S&T. Constraining factors include insufficient awareness of opportunities, inadequate connections amongst researchers, establishing partnerships, complexity of S&T programs, and the asynchronous funding systems.
