ISTRAZIVANJEM U EVROPU-Fondovi EU

Iako Srbija jos nije dobila status kandidata za clanstvo u EU postoji mogucnost da se dobiju sredstva iz postojecih EU fondova za razne oblike integracije i istrazivanja.
 -----------------------------

1. Uslovi se mogu naci na CORDIS webstranici (program vazi do 31.12.2013). U okviru aktuelnog FP7 programa se stimulise realizacija istrazivanja i kooperacije u prosirenom EU okruzenju:
   
   FP7 Specific Programme 'Capacities' - Stimulating the realisation of the full research potential of the enlarged European Union Community
   
   "General information:
   
   The FP7-POTENTIAL initiative aims to establish conditions which will allow research entities, whether private or public, in these regions to exploit their potential. Entities will be chosen on a number of criteria, including the quality of research and organisational size.
   A key component of POTENTIAL is the building of links and collaboration between the selected entities and well-regarded research entities elsewhere in the European Union. It also helps to strengthen and develop the capacities of researchers from convergence and outermost regions, allowing them to participate successfully in activities related to research at the Community level. Building on both levels also helps to realise the European Research Area (ERA).
   
   The POTENTIAL initiative is not limited to the EU's convergence and outermost regions. It promotes scientific and technological cooperation between ERA-based entities and counterparts from the Mediterranean Partner Countries (MPC- Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Tunisia, Syria, Palestinian-Administered Areas and Libya) and Albania, Turkey, Serbia, Croatia and FYROM (subject to agreements associating third countries to the Seventh Framework Programme). Two-way exchanges and participation in the Framework Programme will yield benefits such as improving an environment which is often affected by brain drain and lack of resources.
   
   Examples of specific steps and initiatives include:
   - exchange of know-how and experience (this will happen via transnational staff exchanges between qualifying entities and experienced partner organizations);
   - recruitment by selected entities of experienced researchers and managers (this is meant to encourage the return of nationals who had previously left an entity in a qualifying area or region);
   - acquisition, development, maintenance or upgrade of research equipment for selected entities;
   - the organisation of workshops and conferences (know-how and technology transfer can be facilitated through the organisation of events and visits of internationally-recognised experts in qualifying regions, participation of selected-entity staff in international conferences and support for training capacities);
   - dissemination and promotion activities this is to ensure visibility for selected entities in the European Union and elsewhere;
   - evaluation facility (this option will give selected entities the chance to have an expert evaluation of their research quality and capabilities).
   The POTENTIAL initiative complements EU investments in research co-financed through the Cohension Policy Programmes for 2007-2013.
   The actions will build on past and existing measures such as the European Centres of Excellence under the Fifth Framework Programme, Marie Curie Host Fellowships for the Transfer of Knowledge and the Transfer of Knowledge - Development section of the Sixth Framework Programme" (vise detalja na gore navedenoj stranici).
   Remarks: The European Commission will fund 'Research potential' activities by selecting project proposals submitted following the publication of a 'Call for proposals'
   
2. Kako je vec poznato iz nase stampe, Srbija ce ucestvovati i u formiranju i realizaciji programa pod nazivom EU Strategija regije Dunava 
3. Organizacije iz Srbije se mogu da ukljuce i u projekte u okviru programa SEE (South East Europe)

Raniji program za finansiranje visih oblika saradnje u oblasti tehnologije je bio EUREKA, nazalost istekao krajem 2008.
---------------------------
Organizacije i ustanove iz Srbije se u principu mogu da ukljuce i u razne projekte pokrenute iz EU. O tome najbolje svedoci lista od vise od 200 aktuelnih projekata koji idu uz ucesce jednog ili vise partnera iz Srbije.

Dobijanje statusa kandidata za clana EU Srbiji otvorice i vise mogucnosti za koriscenje EU finansiranja u oblasti nauke i istrazivanja.
