in englischer SpracheAm 1. Jänner 2007 traten Bulgarien und Rumänien der EU bei und ungefähr zur gleichen Zeit startete die EU ihr 7. Forschungs-Rahmenprogramm. Diese Sonderveranstaltung anlässlich der Alpbacher Technologiegespräche widmet sich dem Zusammentreffen dieser beiden Ereignisse und nimmt diese Gelegenheit wahr, um die neuesten Entwicklungen in Wissenschaft und Forschung in Bulgarien und Rumänien zusammenzufassen und einen Ausblick auf die zukünftigen Aktivitäten auf diesem Gebiet zu geben. Auf dieser Basis diskutieren Experten der Region und aus Österreich kurz- und mittelfristige Perspektiven, wie die Kooperation in Wissenschaft und Forschung auf bilateraler, regionaler und auch multilateraler Ebene intensiviert werden kann. Spezielles Augenmerk wird auf die gemeinsame Teilnahme am FP7 gelegt. Eine allgemeine Diskussion wird die Veranstaltung beschließen.
