Location: Sydney, Australia
Organisation: Forum for European-Australian Science and Technology cooperation

description

International collaboration is an important aspect of the research environment and can form an important component of academic career development. The launch of the European Union’s Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) is an opportunity for FEAST, the European Commission and the major stakeholders involved in European-Australian research cooperation to highlight and promote their respective programmes and activities.

The FEAST Secretariat and the Delegation of the European Commission to Australia and New Zealand are holding a series of joint seminars throughout Australia in order to increase understanding of European-Australian cooperation.

This seminar will:

  • provide an overview of the structure of the European research systems;
  • describe the current state of collaborative activity;
  • identify the major opportunities for collaboration;
  • discuss Australian support for collaborative research; and
  • highlight some successful outcomes and the resulting general lessons.

Schemes such as FP7, COST (European Co-operation in Scientific and Technical Research), and opportunities to collaborate with researchers and industry in individual EU Member States will also be covered, including examples of researcher exchange and mobility. The seminar will conclude with a Q&A session.

The seminar is free and open to all academic and general staff, targeting early career and senior researchers from public and private organisations, research development staff and policy managers.
