Science And Technology Co-Operation Agreement Between Indonesia And FP7 Countries

In Indonesia the co-operation with European partner countries is of high intensity, the reasons for starting intergovernmental bilateral S&T co-operation with these countries is the possibility of networking and mobility of researchers, innovation benchmarking and the access to financing of research projects. Indonesia finds the access to international S&T knowledge, the increase of technology transfer, the exchange of research personnel, the increase in the research capabilities, in co-patenting, in scientific publications and the enlargement of the collaboration network with European countries very important.

The main expectations of the scientific co-operation with European countries is the increase of the exchange of researchers, the increased number of international S&T conferences and the better access to financing for research projects. The main problems that can hinder further co-operation are the lack of information on financial tools for co-operation as well as the lack of budget for travelling or for the organisation of international conferences.
