Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
'This project aims at increasing the knowledge, participation and articulation of the actors of different EU research institutions (universities, public and private research centers, individual researchers, etc.) in Mexico in the field of Science – Technology and Innovation. The results are expected to improve the development of the Euro-Mexican research area and, in particular, to identify access opportunities for European researchers in research programmes managed by Mexico. The objectives of the project are: To articulate with other Europeans projects comparative access process to third countries. To collect and produce information useful for the segmented sectors. To generate a “Real LINK” between selected high level Europeans institutions which provide the best possibilities in ST&I for Mexico. To monitor the European participation in projects, scholarships and other bonds of access. To provide feedback on the preparation of agreements in ST&I for the EU-Mexico Joint Steering Committee (JSC). To increase the reciprocity stressed in the EU-MEXICAN bilateral agreement of 2004. Methodology: Collect and analysis information. Creation of strategic material to disseminate. Communication and dissemination Plan. Statistics, evaluations and analytical reports. This is the most appropriate methodology for increasing the awareness on access opportunities in Mexico to the European research community so as to stimulate, encourage and facilitate the participation of European organizations in the programmes managed by the target country. General Impact: ACCESS2MEXCYT will provide the UE with relevant information about the possibilities and opportunities of the Mexican research area. Therefore, it will increase the quantity and quality of European participation in Mexico, by improving the existing relation or by developing a fruitful relationship between not only researchers, research centers and universities, but also with regard to SMEs.'
Introduzione (Teaser)
An exchange in knowledge, expertise and researchers between the EU and Mexico can create more robust science, technology and industry partnerships to stoke the economies of both regions.
Descrizione progetto (Article)
The Access4EU initiative helps countries beyond the EU to cooperate with the bloc on research and technology. Under this framework, the EU-funded project 'Promoting high-quality research opportunities for European researchers in Mexico' (Access2mexcyt) sought to enhance such collaboration with one of the world's largest economies.
The project informed Mexican researchers about funding opportunities, produced useful knowledge for the European Research Area (ERA) and encouraged mobility of experts between the EU and Mexico. It mapped Mexican research funding programmes open to Europeans and students, outlining as well bilateral agreements between both regions' institutions and/or government agencies.
Access2mexcyt also produced a report on the science and technology system in Mexico, as well as on relevant publications. This was followed by an intensive campaign to disseminate the project's findings, particularly with respect to opening the country's energy sector (hydrocarbons).
Through its wealth of knowledge and results, the project also encouraged Europeans to participate in a variety of research programmes in Mexico. This initiative was supported by three ambitious dissemination events in Europe and a brokerage event in Mexico to bring stakeholders together. It liaised with other Access4EU projects and built a framework for mutual benefits as a result of strengthening the research and technology bonds between two major world powers.
