The provinces Salzburg (AT) & North Rhine-Westfalia (GE) are collaborating at political level and through economic partnerships. BRIDGE2GEO intensifies the existing links and initiates science-business partnerships within and between the regions in order to enhance S&T-based development. The cross-cutting topic is Geographic Information. Building on earlier joint actions, technological developments & recent trends in advanced visualisation and social interaction in web2.0 will be bridged (social nets, Wikis, Second Life). Within five Strategic Networks the benefit of GI-technology will be brought to different economic sectors with affinity to selected competence priorities of the two regions. Strategies, communication & business models will be elaborated via the challenging “GIS 2.0 window” to promote implementation of GI-services. Special regard will be given to the European GMES initiative. Universities, research institutes and SMEs in both regions are strong players in the standardization initiatives OGC and INSPIRE. In BRIDGE2GEO the regions strengthen their structural support of RTD activities intensifying the role of RTD in EU economic development. Impacts of BRIDGE2GEO are: 1. intra-cluster (science–industry–regional policy) 2. intra-regional (coherent research policies, development of “USPs” in both research and industry, complementing measures within regional structural funds) 3. transnational (structures & instruments for sustainable co-operation & improvement of market access) BRIDGE2GEO will promote synergies between regional and research policies of the two regions. Through intensive involvement of the regional development agencies RTD strategies will be integrated into the economic development strategies as a basis for more focused use of the Structural Funds for R&D activities. SMEs and research will benefit from jointly prepared relations into emerging markets. Collaboration with RTD initiatives in convergence countries will be developed.

The Faculty of Agriculture (FA) University of Belgrade is the leading institution that ensures research and HE in aquaculture in Serbia. The existing research team in the field of aquaculture covers main aspects of fish production using a multidisciplinary approach for sustainable development. ROSA intends to contribute to development of Serbia and WB aquaculture by reinforcing this existing expertise. The project proposal builds on complementary collaboration in several existing international & national projects and aims to increase human and research potential to improve production results in carp culture, the species widely cultured in WB. Increase in carp production will be realized through: better quality of the added food and feeding dynamics; development of carp selection; and reduction of water pollution. When nutrition is concerned, increasing carp production in semiintensive system (SI) is based on utilization of natural food from the pond in periods of its abundance, and replacement when it is in deficit by quality feed. Substitution of cereals, the main added food in the SI, with extruded feed contributes to better production results and reduction of pollution on fish farms. FA will develop research in selective breeding of carp by using recent methods applied in the selection of salmonids, with the know-how of country experienced in carp selection. Modern research methods and new equipment are missing in Serbia and in all WB countries although they are basis for the development of carp culture. Human potential of the FA and its sustainability will be increased by training scientists in EU labs. Acquisition and transfer of new knowledge will be done through trainings, and exchange visits of experts. ROSA will help in implementation of EU policy in quality and safety standard in both aquaculture and environmental area. In order to disseminate project results FA will organize international meetings and publish in scientific journals and other media.

Seagrasses are well known ecosystem engineers in that they can strongly affect the hydrodynamic environment within a meadow. Benthos diversity within a seagrass meadow will predominantly consist of filter feeders and deposit feeders. For their food supply, filter feeders will benefit from strong hydrodynamics that cause a high refreshment rate of the water column, whereas deposit feeders will benefit from attenuated hydrodynamic energy that enhances seston deposition at the sediment surface. The extend to which hydrodynamic energy within a meadow will be modified (and thus the different forms of food are supplied) is largely determined by shoot characteristics such as shoot density, shoot stiffness, shoot length, etc. in combination with the patchiness of the meadow and in combination with external forcing (velocity range and presence or absence of waves). However, literature offers contradictory results when biodiversity of filter feeder organisms within seagrasses beds is analyzed. While several works showed that filter feeders growth in seagrass beds are lower than in unvegetated areas, others concluded that these organisms obtain benefits living inside meadows. We hypothesized that such discrepancies may be related to the interplay between flow characteristics and seagrass canopy properties which will enhance or decrease the food supply to animals and in a later stage influence the biodiversity of filter-feeder and deposit organisms.

National Centre for Biomolecular Research (NCBR), Masaryk University Brno in the Czech Republic has become one of the leading laboratories for structural biology in the Central Europe. The institute is very well equipped by modern laboratory equipment and instruments. It has established a competitive research program in structural biology through extramural funding from agencies such as the Wellcome Trust, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, European Molecular Biology Organization, 6th FP, Ministry of Education of the Czech Republic or Grant Agency of the Czech Republic. The institute has several teams pursuing both theoretical and experimental research that focuses on the structural characterization of biomacromolecules. NCBR is now trying to refocus its research interest to biomolecular interactions study. That is essential for understanding how molecular machines operate in cells. To establish a competitive research program in biomolecular interactions has proven to be difficult in the Central Europe as the vast majority of know-how and expertise operate in “traditional” EU countries. Project POSTBIOMIN will strengthen our research potential through the scheme of support measures like recruitment of foreign experts, organization of international PhD courses and lectures given by top international scientists. Series of workshops, seminars, postdoctoral and expert inter-ships and visits will be organized. We suppose to reinforce our capacities related to transfer of technologies by hiring the West European specialist. This program will complement investments in research capacity co-financed through the EU cohesion policy programmes for 2007-2013, i.e., CEITEC - large project of Centro-European Institute of Technology focuses on biotechnologies and interdisciplinary medical research, and is prepared in Brno with political support of the Czech Government.

The driving idea of REG CON is the advancement of the concept of “R&amp;D based clustering” across regions of Europe with a thematic focus on construction. This sector is both dynamic in creation of growth and employment [~7% of national employment/GDP, ~14% when add design and materials], but relatively backward in absorbing innovation. The Strategic Research Agenda prepared by European Construction Technology Platform set up ambitious but realistic goals to transform this traditional sector into the knowledge driven and R&amp;D based. REG CON activities strength those goals from regional level. REG CON sets the following yardsticks of success and objective fulfillment:  Set up in the EU of three regional construction clusters and intense R&amp;D activities of two existing one  Achieving cluster participant mobilization in each of the clusters, resulting to understanding of needs for each cluster actor, development of practical R&amp;D action plans and co-operation.  Achieving nine instances of mentoring, cross- regional co-operation, SWOT analyze, joint R&amp;D Action Plan and good practice transfer among the clusters and experts beyond the clusters. These would be implemented by: surveys, regional events and workshops, dissemination and mentoring activity.  Designing a financial instrument that would secure the sustainability of the clusters and R&amp;D cooperation beyond the project lifetime.  Designing an administrative and management structure that would host and administer the cluster Project partnership is based on two advanced construction clusters from Finland &amp; Slovenia [mentors] and three regions with “clusters initiatives” which need to be transform into clusters [Poland, Spain, Greece]. Each region involve main stakeholders: industry, research, local authorities. Partners in the project are members of European Construction Technology Platform and National Technology Platforms which ensure the link with European objectives for sector R&amp;D development.

This proposal brings together 6 regions and clusters (17 partners), which share a strong R&D presence in the field of ICT and New media and the sense that this position has to be exploited for maximal economic and social benefit. They see that the factors that influence the transfer of knowledge to SME’s are complex and often badly understood and want to exchange experiences and best practices to better understand these factors and to make use of them to boost compositeness and economic performance. ICT/New media has been a driver for scientific and economic change in the past. The impact of ICT and new media technologies for the acceleration for productivity growth is commonly recognized. In comparison with other sectors the ICT/New media sector is quite R&D intensive, however a further increase in R&D investments will be crucial for future competitiveness. This project will contribute to the favourable conditions to achieve this. The objective of the project is to map, analyse and exchange all critical issues in the field of ICT/New Media cluster-development in the regions involved, in order to compose the best strategy and related practical Action Plans to strengthen the economic competitiveness, with a clear focus on role and potential of SMEs. The project will assess several existing practices for innovation systems and regional knowledge flow to SMEs, will confront this with a framework of reference and will identify a practical, tailor-made strategy and action-plan for RTD-related measures, which are linked to economic development policies. The results will address five action areas, and will be presented by Joint Action Plans (JAP), a funding strategy, a Business Support Measures Package and guidelines and recommendations for other innovative research-driven clusters.

Pre-clinical studies serve a vital role in the drug discovery and development processes. These studies can be used to identify lead compounds likely to possess favourable biopharmaceutical properties in humans. European Research Area is developing new methodologies and it is re-establishing standards in pre-clinical studies of active substances. Although in Serbia there are several institutions currently working on pre-clinical testing of active substances, they are usually specialized to only one aspect of testing. Further these institutions are old and inadequately equipped, with the insufficient number of trained researchers and absence of standardization in testing methodology. Thus, reinforcement of the existing capacities, networking and cooperation among existing laboratories and with ERA members are from the crucial importance. The main goal of this project is to establish Centre for pre-clinical testing of active substances (CPCTAS) at University of Kragujevac using the combine efforts of existing laboratories in central Serbia region. The existing laboratories will gain an opportunity to be part of the complete coordinated process of testing of active substances through CPCTAS and their common appearance to potential partners. The main activities necessary for the realization of this project are international cooperation through networking, exchange of know-how and experience and upgrading the research capacities to the highest quality. Central laboratory for pre-clinical testing will be organized at the Faculty of Science at University of Kragujevac, in coordination with Faculty of Medicine. The dissemination of CPCTAS development will be carried out through the website, contacting with Institutions of interest, and finally, accreditation of CPCTAS according to ISO standards, by respectable organization in Serbia and EU.
