SUMMARY:Research collaboration with Europe: Melbourne seminar at Swinburne
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.
