Description

WP1 - Policy Dialogue & Strategic Priority Setting

 




Objectives

The aim of this Work Package is to actively contribute to policy dialogue activities in various fora (e.g. EU-EaP Panel on R&I, SFIC, BSEC, ESFRI, etc.) and with a wide variety of stakeholders (EC DGs, Thematic Directorates of DG R&I; EaP countries and EU MS/AC; etc.).

In parallel, specific attention will be given to the recent association of several EaP countries to H2020 that constitutes a major development. In that respect, activities will be dedicated to sharing of experiences among those countries but also with previously associated countries (e.g. Norway, Israel or Turkey) in order to maximise the impact of the association. Finally, based on the conclusions of all the project’s activities as well as on any newer development, recommendations for the future of the cooperation will be drafted (“EU-EaP beyond 2020”).
