Mission Statement

Based on the European Union's Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development, SEE-ERA.NET is committed to the networking of research activities within national, bilateral and regional research programmes throughout Europe, especially targeting Southeast Europe. Its main objective is to explore and exploit synergies among bilateral S&T agreements of the partner countries.

The network conducts its work primarily through data analyses, exchange of best practice, strategic planning and research programme coordination at meetings, workshops and conferences. These measures enable the identification of complementarities, the implementation of joint initiatives and finally result in multilateral calls for research proposals in 2006/2007 and in 2008, open to researchers from participating SEE-ERA.NET partner countries. In this way, SEE-ERA.NET will have made an essential contribution to the realisation of the European Research Area.
