Danube-INCO.NET was a FP7 funded coordination and support action for the official EU Strategy for the Danube Region (EUSDR) in the field of research and innovation. Whereas the EUSDR addresses a wide variety of priority areas (ranging from PA 1A „Mobility/Waterways” to PA 11 „Security“), Danube -INCO.NET focused mainly on two of them: PA 7 „Knowledge Society“ and PA 8 „Competitiveness“. The project supports the policy dialogue, creates networks, analyses, and supports research and innovation (R&I) activities.
By joining forces from 19 project partners under the coordination of the Centre for Social Innovation (ZSI), Danube -INCO.NET was seeking to overcome obstacles hindering the social and economic development of the Danube region. The project lasted 36 months, resulting in events, publications and policy recommendations related to R&I cooperation in the Danube Region and several sustainble results: https://danube-inco.net/about/projectresults
