The Strategic Partnership, established in 2007, is the base for current relations. The main areas of scientific cooperation are: • marine research • health • transport, including aviation • nanotechnology • sustainable urbanisation • renewable energy • information and communication technologies (ICT) Other areas include cooperation with the European Commission's Joint Research Centre, environmental research and space cooperation.

 

Funding opportunities

 

Horizon 2020 is the biggest EU research and innovation programme ever with nearly €80 billion of funding available over 7 years (2014 to 2020). It is open to the world, which means that participants from all over the world can participate in most calls. In many cases, the EU will fund at least partly the participation of the international partners.
