The project "Promoting interregional cooperation in the field of scientific and technological development and innovation between the EU and the Black Sea Region» (BLACK SEA HORIZON) implemented under the Framework Programme for Research and Innovation "Horizon 2020" (grant agreement № 645785). The project team consists of 19 partners from 16 countries: Austria, Germany, Greece, Turkey, Hungary, France, Bulgaria, Romania, Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova, Russia, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Poland Portugal. The project coordinator is the Center for Social Innovation (Austria). The project aims to: • Maintenance and support EU external relations with the target region; • intensification of research and innovation cooperation between the EU and the Black Sea region and strengthening the competitiveness of the EU; • participation in facilitating the international scientific technical and innovation cooperation.

For achieving the project aims for years 2015 -2017 provides: - Development cooperation program in science, technology and innovation between the EU and the Black Sea region, which will, in particular, based on an analysis of barriers, drivers and opportunities for cooperation; - A series of webinars on participation in the EU program "Horizon 2020"; - Formations and implementation of grant support for participation in Grant scheme for brokerage events; - Summer school for preparation H 2020 proposals; - Definition of clusters and advanced training sessions for entrepreneurs; - Development conditions and organization of joint competition for participants from target, including the creation of the a database of experts for evaluation of proposals and the definition of thematic priorities.

DANUBE-INCO. NET is a coordination and support action funded under the 7 th Framework Programme and addresses the official EU Strategy for the Danube Region (EUSDR) in the field of research and innovation (R&I). Whereas the EUSDR concerns a wide variety of priority areas, the project focuses mainly on two of them: PA 7 „Knowledge Society“ and PA 8 „Competitiveness“ while also supporting the policy dialogue, the creation of networks, and providing analyses and support to R&I activities. By joining forces from 19 project partners under the coordination of the Centre for Social Innovation (ZSI), Danube-INCO. NET seeks to overcome obstacles hindering the social and economic development of the Danube region. The project will be putting in all effort to ensure that events, publications and policy recommendations related to R&I cooperation in the Danube Region will reach an audience as broad as possible interested and engaged in the future macro-regional development of the Danube Region.

DANUBE-INCO. NET The territory covered by the EUSDR includes EU Member States (MS) and non-Member States, being very different in terms of economic strengths and research and innovation systems and profiles: n EU MS and regions upstream of the Danube: Austria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, Slovenia, Germany – in particular Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria n EU MS and regions downstream of the Danube: Bulgaria, Romania n Enlargement countries: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Serbia n Neighbourhood countries: Moldova and Ukraine (in particular oblast Odessa, Uschhorod, Ivano-Frankovsk and Czernowitz) n The region is one of the most diverse in Europe and home to over 100 million residents.
