IDEAS FOR COLLABORATION

• Exchange appropriate scientific and technological
  information.
• Joint participation for the establishment of
  working groups and training programs.
• Jointly establish training programs in the above
  mentioned areas of common interest
• Support the training of scientists, engineers and
  technical experts i.a. through the exchange of
  personnel.
• Work jointly to develop initiatives for
  obtaining, financing and implementing the
  research projects of mutual interest.
