  1. Opportunities for EU-NIS collaboration in Microbiology through INTAS

  2. Intas in brief Key aspects of INTAS Microbiology within INTAS Future plans Conclusions Outline

  3. INTAS in brief • Set up in 1993 • By the European Community and like-minded countries • Promotes international co-operation with scientists from the NIS and the INTAS member states INTAS in FP6: “(...) co-operation activities with Russiaand the other NIScountries will be carried out in particular through the INTAS structure set up jointly by the Community and the MemberStates."(Decision n° 1513/2002/EC, EP and Council, OJ L 232, 29.08.2002, p.1)

  4. INTAS outreach 15 European Union member states European Community Bulgaria Republic of Cyprus Czech Republic Estonia Hungary Iceland Israel Latvia Lithuania Malta Norway Poland Romania Slovak Republic Slovenia Switzerland Turkey 12 Partner Countries Armenia Azerbaijan Belarus Georgia Kazakhstan Kyrgyzstan Moldova Russia Tajikistan Turkmenistan Ukraine Uzbekistan 33 Member States

  5. Budget 2003-2006: € 70+ million contribution from the European Community payments from member states & in-kind contributions additional resources through co-funding partners INTAS Budget

  6. scientific quality covers all scientific areas includes fundamental and applied research support for international scientific collaboration competitive grants based on independent evaluations minimum 75% funds go to partner countries focus on young scientist initiatives Key aspects

  7. “framework” agreements tax exemptions of INTAS grants duty-free import of INTAS-funded scientific equipment official contact person in ministry / state committee information desks in NIS INTAS Agreements on Scientific Cooperation

  8. current projects and networks: 26 about 130 teams involved; details available on www.intas.be or www.cordis.lu Young Scientist Fellowships Thematic:FoodEnvironment; pollutionHealth INTAS workshop on challenges of the future(Monday June 30, 16.00 hrs, Duša Počkaj hall) Microbiology in INTAS

  9. INTAS plans for 2003-2006 1. INTAS Calls 2003, 2004, 2005: Open calls (project and network grants), thematic & collaborative calls Young NIS scientists fellowships Innovation grant Additional supportive measures (strategic workshops, etc.) 2. FP6 information activities for NIS ININ

  10. to promote the involvement of NIS scientific communities in ERA, and in particular their participation in activities funded by FP6 Why ? Set-up of network of national information points (NIPs) Training & information Brokerage events How ? ININ INTAS-FP6 Information Network • beg. 2003: NIP nominations by NIS authorities • June ’03: third INTAS – NIP workshop in Brussels • October ’03: first ININ brokerage event in Brussels What ?

  11. INTAS has gained experience in managing EU-NIS collaborative science INTAS funding schemes are open to scientific and industrial partners from East and West INTAS can offer advice if you are looking for partners in science and innovation Conclusions
