International RTD cooperation
will be pursued in two forms in
the Fifth FP:
1) through the other specific programmes
- principle: project by project, without funding
unless in duly justified exceptional cases
2) through the INCO- 2 programme

INCO SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES
 Associated CEECs + Cyprus: prepare accession / S&T
integration
 Other CEECs + NIS: RDT stabilisation / problem
resolution
 Developing countries: support to solve specific
problems
 Mediterranean: socio-economic development / Enhance
the S&T base for Euro-MED Partnership
 “Emerging economies” and Industrialized Countries:
access to expertise & knowledge (reciprocity)
