BASIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE GOVERNANCE OF SCIENCE IN SPAIN
Spain's National Research, Development & Innovation Plan 2004-2007 marks an important step forward in planning actions financed by the national budgets aimed at optimising available resources by strengthening cooperation and coordination with the Autonomous Communities (Spanish regional governments), articulation of the important international dimension and design of the financial instruments and modes of participation needed to stimulate and foster research, development & innovation activities.
Building the European Research Area poses new challenges for integration and coordination, not just as regards developing mechanisms for the creation of networks under national programmes, but also in relation to the initiation of evaluation processes that facilitate comparison of national research, development & innovation policies.
This National Research, Development & Innovation Plan is the public sector's response to the economic, social and cultural demands regarding S&T matters. Defining scientific-technical research programmes, preparing proposal for managing government-funded activities, developing business competitiveness support measures, organising international and interregional cooperation programmes, and developing appropriate policies for training and recruiting research, development & innovation specialists, has required involvement of all actors in the system.
S&T COOPERATION BETWEEN SPAIN AND BELARUS
Since 2001 through the Calls of Belarusian Republican Fund on Fundamental Research (BRFFR) 3 Belarus-Spain research projects bilaterally financed have been and are being fulfilled.
The main funding opportunities currently open for science and research cooperation between Belarus and Finland relate to the EU programmes, namely the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7). (See chapter on European Community Research).
