Steering Platform on Research and Innovation for Western Balkans

The Steering Platform on Research and Innovation for Western Balkans (SP), established in 2006, facilitates the interaction between the Western Balkan Countries, the EU member states, the candidate and potential candidate countries and other states associated to the Research Framework Programmes and the European Commission. Its main objective is to support the enhanced integration of the Western Balkans Countries (WBCs) in the European Research Area. It is a strategic body to deal with European, multilateral and regional issues of Science, Technology and Innovation policies in and with the WBCs. It acts as an information exchange centre, clearing house for joint ideas and activities, and coordination forum for needs, suggestions and proposals of the WBCs to the European Commission, the EU28, candidate and potential candidate countries and the countries associated to Horizon 2020 and vice versa. In 2017 new scheme for the support of the SP meetings was introduced, funded by the European Commission. Within this facility it is planned to organise two SP meetings in 2017 and in 2018, as well as three SP thematic meetings. For more info please see the source link below.
