EULANEST - European-Latin American Network for Science and Technology

The EULANEST project intended to promote and co-ordinate research co-operation among EU Member States (MS) and Latin American countries (LAC), thus contributing to strengthen the impact of their national programmes on international cooperation in science and technology (S&T) with Latin America. EULANEST networked European policy-makers and programme managers involved in promoting research co-operation with Latin America in all fields of science. The ERA-NET action paved the way for its partners towards the preparation, design, implementation and development of joint trans-national research activities and realized a Pilot Joint Call.
