Responding to Global Challenges: the role of Europe and of International Science and Technology Cooperation

Date:  4/10/2007 - 5/10/2007

Place: Brussels

DG RTD from the European Commission has launched a series of consultation activities on the occasion of the publication of the European Research Area (ERA) Green Paper (available at http://ec.europa.eu/research/era/consultationera_en.html#greenpaper). The workshop on "Global Challenges" will be one of a series of workshops aiming at consulting the scientific community and other relevant stakeholders about an EU International S&T (including Social Science and Humanities) Cooperation Strategy for the years to come. The main objective will be to discuss what are the global challenges over the next years that would require global research concentrated efforts and would call for the setting up or the reinforcement of existing international research structures/mechanisms, where Europe could have a key role. Presentations of the event are now available.
