Fostering of R&D activities in South-Eastern Europe and strengthening of the integration in the European Research Area is accompanied by the confrontation with competitive research funding. Manifold opportunities have been opened for researchers and various research institutions. What are the perspectives of research organisations in South-Eastern Europe?
The research priorities are established in line with the Lisbon targets, but not all institutions with their disciplines take an advantageous position in the ongoing dynamic process. There are several key questions lain at the root of the critical discussion on competitive research funding, especially in South-Eastern Europe. The Conference aims to through light on the up-to-date usual practise of the project-oriented research funding and the impact of funding opportunities on the research organisations and individual scientists. Within the framework of the call for papers announced the interested researches, research manages and PR units of research organisations are requested to provide their presentation.
The 2-days event is organized jointly by the Centre for Science Studies & History of Science (CSSHS), Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (Prof.Dr.Sc. Kostadinka Simeonova, Director of the Centre) and the Austrian Science and Research Liaison Office Sofia (ASO Sofia).
