Opportunities for Health research in Third Countries

Mar 16, 2011

On 9 June 2011, the European Commission’s (EC) Access4EU programme will hold a session in Brussels, Belgium to link EU and Third Country Health Researchers. With international cooperation in Health-research being key to creating a European knowledge-based economy, the Seventh Framework Programme provides numerous opportunities for researchers in and outside Europe, to promote the possibilities of doing research under Third Country RTD programmes. As a result, six Access4EU projects, that focus on Australia, Canada, India, New Zealand, Russia, and the U.S., have come together to provide participants of the Health infoday on 9 and 10 June with an overview of the opportunities in Health research that exist outside Europe. EU researchers will thus not only have the opportunity to understand the importance of International Cooperation under Framework Programme, but also to learn about the access possibilities for Third Country RTD programmes. A programme agenda is still being finalized and will be made available at a later date.
