Global cooperation in research, innovation and education: the EU perspective

Date: Monday 21 June 2021, 12:30 - 14:10
Location: Virtual meeting
Organisation: NorCore
The EU presented this spring a new strategy for global cooperation within research and innovation. Global cooperation was an important topic in both the EEA and ERA communications from 2020, and both Erasmus+ and Horizon Europe have important global components, and some new elements from 2021.
Since Norway will participate in these programmes, it is important to identify how we can contribute to increase Norwegian participation in the global EU cooperation, as well as to advance synergies (while at the same time avoiding unnecessary overlaps) with national schemes for global knowledge-related cooperation.
NorCore on 21 June organised a webinar to explore how synergies can be advanced between the EU's and national schemes for global R&I cooperation. We also addressed how Norwegian participation in global EU cooperation can be increased.
The full webinar is available via stream here.
