How and what ? Common access and development of research infrastructures (RI’s) - focussing on specific targets and providing top equipment/competences - single site and distributed - industrial access schemes - developing national RI’s from regional to European importance - joint participation in large scale European research infrastructures Coordinated networking and training - sharing experience obtained on use of the structural funding - joint graduate programmes and joint PhD degrees (cotutelle) - targeted student technology projects (incl undergraduates) - trainingof scientists, engineers from public and private sector - informing of entrepreneurson research methods- technologiesavailable Higher Education - encouraging exchange of students and teaching staff
