1. Analytical SCOPE-EAST reports "Identifying strategic research areas"
A multi-dimensional and future-oriented analysis was carried out in the frame of the SCOPE-EAST project, which consists of the following components
- personal interviews with representatives of ministries
and key organisations in charge of S/T cooperation in selected EU-Member States
(MS), States associated to the RTD Framework Programme of the EU (Associated
States - AS) and in Russia and Ukraine
- bibliometric analysis of research potential in Russia and
Ukraine
- quantitative and qualitative analysis of Russian and Ukrainian
participation in FP 6 including cooperation links to EU-25 within FP 6, INTAS,
ISTC, STCU
These analyses were in particular designed to identify strategic research areas
of mutual interest with potential for future cooperation and enhanced coordination
between the Member States/Associated Candidate States and Russia and Ukraine.
The analyses also assess trends, perspectives and needs for action regarding
the framework conditions of S/T cooperation with Russia and Ukraine.
