ERA WESTBALKAN - Opening up the European Research Area to the Western Balkan
The principle objective of the project is to raise the quantity and quality of participations from the Western Balkan Countries (WBC) in the 6lh EU Framework Programme (FP6). In order to achieve this, the creation and support of the network of FP6-National Contact Points (Naps) in the countries of the region will be the key issue of the project.
This aim is achieved by establishing and training a network of National Contact Points, who offer support and information for their national clients in FP6 matters. Also, strategic input on enhancing the participation of WBC in the FP6 is given.
As a platform for the WBC research scene, this database contributes to the overall aim to enhance the networking and participation of RTD keyplayers of the region in international partnerships. (Source: Website http://www.westbalkanresearch.net/, as accessed in November 2006)
