Food-N-Co - Western Balkan countries included in NCP network
By Ms. Birgit STEININGER on Mar 05, 2007 Status: Public
A Specific Support Action called Food-N-Co started in February 2006 with a duration of three years. It is a cooperation network of 20 National Contact Points (NCPs) with a special focus on third countries in the areas of Food Quality and Safety as well as Food, Agriculture and Biotechnology. The project aims to give more visibility to researchers, research organisations and SMEs in these areas in order to form EU projects with international consortia. Partner search will be facilitated, seminars organised and personal contacts established through this initiative.
The Food-N-Co consortium also issues a quarterly electronic newsletter. It actively informs NCPs and scientists all over the world about the opportunities for International Cooperation Partner Countries (ICPCs, former INCO countries) to participate in European research on Food, Agriculture and Biotechnology.
