STI International Cooperation Network for Central Asian Countries-IncoNet CA

Bi-regional STI policy dialogue between EU MS/AC and Central Asia

The project supported the advancement of the bi-regional STI policy dialogue between the EU MS/AC andthe Central Asian countries, with an explicit focus on the Societal Challenges that have been identified to be of mutual interest for the two regions, namely Climate Change, Energy and Health. In particular the project mapped actions and stakeholders and implemented innovative pilot activities to strengthen the coordination and impact of the individual actions. In terms of policy dialogue, the project provided analytical evidence and monitoring to feed the dialogue and to support joint agenda setting. A policy mix peer review was implemented along with capacity building activities with emphasis on the promotion of innovation. More specifically, links with the EU technology platforms were established allowing mutual learning and exchange of best practices for enhanced public-private partnerships between the two regions. In addition, support was provided to strengthen the role of National Contact Points in the targeted partner countries and to adapt their functioning to the challenges of H2020.The project built on the experience of the previous projects (IncoNet EECA and IncoNet CA/SC) targeting the region and utilised synergies with the sister project targeting the Eastern Partnership countries.
