Welcome

PACE-Net is a three-year INCO-NET Coordination Action, supported by the European Commission (DG RTD-INCO), whose main goal is to strengthen bi-regional sustainable dialogue on Science and Technology between Europe and the Pacific.

7th Framework Programme:

FP7 is the short name for the Seventh Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development. This is the EU's main instrument for funding research in Europe and it will run from 2007-2013. FP7 is also designed to respond to Europe's employment needs, competitiveness and quality of life.

FP7 is structured in 5 specific programmes. The INCO-NET projects launched in the frame of the “Capacities” programme are dedicated to the reinforcement of the cooperation in S&T at regional level by establishing and strengthening the dialogue in S&T between EU and the targeted region in order to:

Promote and structure the participation of third countries in the activities of FP7.

Promote regional integration as well as identification and the prioritisation of common research areas of mutual interest and benefit.

Facilitate the uptake and use of common identified research areas and the monitoring of performance and impacts of international S&T cooperation across the Specific Programmes of FP7.
