 Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)

'The overall objective of the proposed project is to increase S&T cooperation between the EU and Australia by identifying access opportunities for European researchers in Australian research capabilities and programmes.

The work plan of AUS-ACCESS4EU puts the objective of the FP 7 Capacitioes Work Programme 'Supporting the EU access to third countries programmes (FP-INCO-2009-5) to help to develop the reciprocity aspects of the S&T agreement by identifying programmes open to EU researchers and promote their participation' into practise.

It will enhance the information collection as regards programmes open for EU researchers as well as rules and obstacles for participation. The close and continous dialogue with Australian programme owners and the wide outreach of the project results to European stakeholders and policy makers and European scientists are two of the major success factors of the project.

The acticivities are grouped into 4 work packages WP). WP 1 'Inventory and Monitoring' aims to map the opportunities for European researchers and research institutes to access Australian programmes. The objectives of WP 2 'Awareness raising and profile building' are to raise the awareness of Australian institutions and programme owners and to promote the principle of reciprocity of research programmes. WP 3 'Information dissemination and outreach' aims to increase the European research community´s awareness of opportunities to access Australian support and capability in order to stimulate, encourage and support the participation of European organisations in Australian programmes. WP 4 'Project coordination and management' will ensure that the project is managed effectively.'

Introduzione (Teaser)

A new initiative that enables European businesses to tap into Australian projects and funding will bring exciting benefits, new knowledge and many opportunities to both continents.

Descrizione progetto (Article)

Representing one of the wealthiest and most advanced nations in the world, Australia harbours a myriad of opportunities for research partnerships with the EU. The EU-funded project 'Supporting EU access to Australian research programmes' (AUS-Access4eu) strengthened these partnerships by encouraging EU researcher access to Australian-funded research, development and innovation programmes.

The project team launched an ambitious website featuring information on projects and project partners, as well as conferences, workshops, databases and reports. In 2010 it met with key Australian programme owners and funding organisations to secure their cooperation. It published a report on Australian research strengths and a paper titled 'Enhancing reciprocity in international cooperation in research: issues and metrics'.

Dissemination efforts to raise awareness in Europe of partnerships with Australia included newsletters, brochures, online updates, infotours in different European cities, and activities at several European conferences. Through these efforts, the project successfully promoted relevant Australian programmes in Europe and brought Australian programme owners closer to global collaboration with European partners.

AUS-Access4eu was very thorough in collecting data about participating in Australian programmes and advanced new ways to measure comparative research strength and reciprocity in research and innovation. It also opened doors for Australian stakeholders to participate in EU-funded projects now that a database for collaboration has been established.

In this light, the project's efforts will help EU partners unlock potential collaboration opportunities in new territory and access a relatively overlooked yet highly developed continent. Australian stakeholders on the other hand will gain a foothold in Europe and EU policymaking, being able to tap into new partnerships and to learn from the EU experience. Collaboration is set to bring many advantages to both parties, boding well for technology, industry and innovation on both sides of the planet.
