ETC · European Tunisian Cooperation

The overall objective is to foster and build a network between Scientific and Technological community and enterprises, which are involved in research and development activities, belonging to the European Community and Tunisia, to better share scientific and technological information and knowledge between the two Areas. We aim at creating a community of actors involved in the scientific and technology field of the European Community and Tunisia, through: 1. Providing a wider access to information on scientific and technological programmes, funding projects building and management of the European Community 2. Identifying the main priorities in the scientific and technology field and demonstrating the mutual benefit from the S& T cooperation between the European Community and Tunisia 3. Improving knowledge and skills transfer on scientific and technological matters, spreading and sharing best practices in order to present the state of the art and the prospects for cooperation in defined fields in either project areas. We propose a set of actions to underpin information facilities for networking and dissemination activities, such as technology forecasting, meetings and also by using a suitable technological platform. All these aims will be reached by developing and setting up information facilities, such as information services, a web platform and online events. The platform will be a tool which helps to create a virtual and sharing space, in order to strengthen a closer interaction between the target audience of the project. All these tools will improve the information exchanges, the scientific and technological network and a common policy on scientific and technological matters between the European community and Tunisia.
