INTEGRATING ARMENIA INTO ERA
Integration of the South Caucasus countries into ERA is one of the
priorities of EU s European Neighbourhood Policy. This is the
objective of ERAWIDE initiative aimed at reinforcing the cooperation
capacity of a prominent R&D centre in these countries by providing the
possibilities to improve its research activities in the areas of
thematic priorities of FP7. The government of the Republic of Armenia
recommended as such a centre the Center of Medical Genetics and
Primary Health Care (CMG) due to its high reputation, broad
international contacts, participation in FP7, and the importance of
the top-level research in Medical Genetics for general population.
To reach this objective, the INARMERA project consortium consisting of
CMG, the Institute of Cancer Biology of the Danish Cancer Society, and
the European Centre for Knowledge and Technology Transfer (Belgium)
will carry out research assessment of CMG, will organise training in
FP7 for CMG scientists and their research training in Medical
Genetics. For networking and dissemination purposes workshops and
summer schools will be organised in Armenia while Armenian scientists
will attend events in Europe.
Meantime from the start of INARMERA four Pilot Trial Projects in
Medical Genetics will be organised between CMG scientists and their
colleagues in Europe, but also in Georgia, highlighting the regional
aspect of INARMERA. The Pilot Trials will help Participants to
identify bottlenecks of cooperation and propose improvements.
The Strategy Experts Group will develop strategy of CMG aiming at
establishment of CMG as a visible centre of Medical Genetics studies
in Caucasus, and turning it into a reliable partner for European
institutions in Framework Programmes. Project results and achievements
will be analysed and recommendations will be drawn to the authorities
on strengthening EU-Armenia R&D cooperation leading to the successful
start of integration of Armenia into ERA.
