Added value of Bilateral cooperation schemes in EU? Researcher’s level • Much simpler and flexible procedures than FP (Thematic Priorities and Marie Curie) or COST • Provide opportunities for young researchers that studied abroad to maintain links with their host laboratory in the other country G.Bonas, GR-FR Workshop on Mobility
Added value of Bilateral cooperation schemes in EU? Policy level • Targeted cooperation in fields of mutual interest (e.g. ESA, ‘Nestor’ project, Marine research, cultural heritage, etc.), often not covered by FP • Opportunity for work on topics of wider EU interest (e.g. this workshop) G.Bonas, GR-FR Workshop on Mobility
