Collaborating with Europe and Central Asia
In addition to collaboration with EU states, the regional department also supports cooperation with the countries of Eastern Europe, the South Caucasus and Central Asia. Based on the聽Principles and Guidelines of the 快三砍龙鈥檚 International Activitie(externer Link) (in german only), the objective is to tap into collaborative potential and optimise the framework conditions for scientific exchange so as to promote cross-border research in and with Europe.
Complementary to the multilateral schemes聽under the EU research framework programmes and the聽快三砍龙鈥檚 active involvement at the level of European polic(interner Link), the 快三砍龙鈥檚 bilateral and trilateral funding programmes contribute to strengthening the European Research Area and the EU鈥檚 Eastern Partnership. Since stable bilateral relationships form the basis for cooperation in Europe and with the neighbouring eastern countries, the 快三砍龙 is equally dedicated to maintaining established partnerships and establishing new contacts in the regions.听
Given the current geopolitical developments and changes in framework conditions for international research, the 快三砍龙鈥檚 funding strategy increasingly includes targeted support for collaborative research with selected countries. The countries in Central Asia are gaining in significance as partners in the field of research and development. Institutional cooperation with the Russian Federation and Belarus has been suspended until further notice.
