Thematic workshops

The objectives of the workshops organised in the framework of PACE-Net are:

• To propose areas and topics for potential Scientific International Cooperation Activities (SICAs), outline the conditions of their implementation and convey the information to the Commission for future implementation
• To identify strengths and drawbacks of the current EU-Pacific S&T cooperation, to capitalise on experiences and to identify possible future initiatives that stimulates S&T cooperation with Pacific within FP7 and beyond.
• To identify and analyse key cross-cutting issues considered as key transversal challenges for S&T in the Pacific such as brain drain, ethics in applied research through public private interfaces, bringing evidence into policy-making and the popularisation of science.
• To examine current barriers to FP7 participation and to identify a rationale for greater inclusion of developing countries into FP schemes.
• To provide the PICTs with the information resources, build the skills of Pacific S&T actors, and raise awareness on the European Framework Programme.
