Sharing, attractiveness, networkingas priorities of the European CommissionGreen Paper 2007 European Research AREA*: an internal market for Research, “where researchers, technology and knowledge circulate freely" An adequate flow of competent researchers with high levels of mobility between, disciplines, sectors and countries World-class research infrastructures accessible to research teams from across Europe and the world Excellent research institutions attracting a critical mass of human and financial resources Effective knowledge-sharing notably between public and industry A wide opening of the European Research Area to the world, with special enphasis on neighbouring countries *“The European Research Area: New Perspectives”

  3. The scientific and academic society of Friuli Venezia Giulia • At the heart of the enlarged Europe • Science and technology hub • Large community of Italian and foreign scientists • Every year more than 8.000 researchers and students from all over the world come to the scientific institutions of the region • 8.8 Researchers per 1000 labour force units (Europe: 5.7)

  4. A Network of 50 public and private research centres, academic institutions and other organisations operating in the innovation sector Based on an Agreement funded by the Regional Authorities of Friuli Venezia Giulia, With the participation of the Italian Ministry for Foreign Affairs and the Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research Coordinating Institution: AREA Science Park Strategic objective: To foster the research potentialof the region, by promoting synergies between research and academic institutions, stressing cooperation between public and private research sectors (intersectoral mobility) and improving attractiveness of qualified human capital (international mobility) The “Coordination Network” of Friuli Venezia Giulia Joint commitment of national and regional Public Authorities
