Introduction • The developed countries have established mechanisms to allow emerging economies to develop their scientific potential. • Main donor is the European Union • The Black Sea area consists of countries with different status with respect to EU – members, candidates, associated, and others.

  3. Structural and Cohesion Funds Aim to support the cohesion policy of the EU. Three objectives: • Convergence • Regional Competitiveness and employment • European Territorial cooperation Includes 3 funds: • European Regional Development Fund • European Social Fund • Cohesion Fund For the period 2007-2013 the foreseen funding is €308 billion for all SCF.

  5. European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) • COST is an intergovernmental framework organization established to coordinate nationally funded research activities at European level • Complements FP7: does not support directly research, but is focused on cooperation and dissemination activities

  6. Tempus IV (2007 - 2013) Programme Objectives: • To support the modernisation of higher education; and • to create an area of co-operation in countries surrounding the EU Funded from: • IPA – for the Western Balkans • DCI – for Central Asia • ENPI – for European Neighbourhood Policy countries + Russia

  8. Intelligent Energy - Europe (IEE) Part of the Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme Objectives: • Development of legislative measures needed to attain the strategic objectives in the fields of energy efficiency and renewable energy; • Boost investment in the fields of energy efficiency, renewable energy sources and energy diversification; • Remove the non-technological barriers to efficient and intelligent production, transport and use of energy. Budget for the period 2007-2013: €730 million

  9. LIFE+ Objective: to contribute to the implementation, update and development of Community environmental policy and legislation, including the integration of the environment into other policies.
