Key Stakeholders Conference in Suva (12-14 March 2013) Registration deadline: 18 February 2013

This is to remind you that the Suva Conference will be the last bi-regional conference of the PACE-Net project. The main objective of this conference is to present all the results of the three year project. We will discuss their implementation and future actions with stakeholders from policy, research, development, and innovation. Those PACE-Net results include capacity development, analytical work on S&T capacity and priorities in the Pacific, and outcomes of two previous bi-regional PACE-Net conferences.

This conference will be held at the University of the South Pacific (USP) in Suva, Fiji, allowing a greater degree of networking between stakeholders within the Pacific and between the Pacific and Europe.

The PACE-Net results session will lead into a panel discussion on success stories of funding and networking at regional scale and with Europe. The conference includes furthermore an info-session on EU research and innovation framework programme tools and programmes and other mobility schemes to demonstrate opportunities for international collaboration between Europe and the Pacific.

The participation in the conference is free of charge. In order to participate in the dialogue platform, it is necessary that you register at https://secure.pt-dlr.de/pt-conference/conference/PACE032013

Registration deadline: February 18. 2013
