JEWEL Project: • 36 Months Project • Inno-France, AUTH-Greece, JUST-Jordan/Coordinator • Strength the relation between EU & Jordan in ICT Issues • Organize & Support Activities to Enhance ICT in Jordan • Bridge the Gap between EU & Jordan in ICT • Facilitate Faculty Members to Contribute in EU Projects • Participate in Other EU Projects • Participate in EU & Jordan Events Related to ICT • Transfer Knowledge, Know-How between EU & Jordan • Awareness Days for Opened Calls http://www.ict-jewel.eu

25. Objectives: • Opportunities for new projects and calls • Network ing with other people in EU & MEDA Region • Bridge the GAP between South and North of the Mediterranean in Research • Stop “Brain Drain” Phenomena from South to North • Keep up the research and promotion • Developing the country and JUST http://www.ict-jewel.eu

26. Key Dates • 2002: EU-Jordan Association Agreement entered into force • 2005: EU-Jordan Action Plan was approved • 2008: Launch the Partnership between Euro-Mediterranean. • 2007-2010: The ENPI (the European Neighbourhood Partnership Instrument) envelope for Jordan is € 265 million • 2011-2013: An indicative ENPI envelope of € 223 million • Jordanian researchers have the same rights with EU researchers in all fields of research areas: environment, food, agriculture and biotechnologies, ICT, Health, Energy, …, etc. http://www.ict-jewel.eu

27. Background • International Cooperation Partner Countries - “Jordan” has so far, been disappointing, despite a dedicated budget and the presence of highly skilled research communities in these countries. • Jordanian organizations submitted numerous applications to the 7th Framework Program - 168 Jordanian proposals were sent and 34 of them retained = 20% . • In 2007-2009, Erasmus Mundus grants 112 Jordanian students and academicians to pursue studies in EU. http://www.ict-jewel.eu
