Collaboration
Bilateral R&I Cooperation Networks
The INCOBRA Call for Bilateral Networks aimed to foster and strengthen the mutual cooperation of Brazilian and European R&I actors through the support of bilateral networks on a variety of priority areas (Bioeconomy, Food Security and Sustainable Agriculture; Energy; ICT; Nanotechnology; and Marine Research) by providing a Grant for the implementation of mutual bilateral visits and workshops. The main objective of the Call was to select 5 bilateral R&I cooperation networks. Up until the end of the specified period (October 2018) the INCOBRA project will provide a series of consultancy services to the these cooperation networks in order to accompany their initial steps, guiding and counselling them, supporting their activity, fostering interaction and facilitating their integration.
There was a very high standard of proposals received and we are delighted that there was such a lot of interest in the Call and therefore in enhancing synergies between Europe and Brazil. INCOBRA would like to thank everyone who participated.
