About the EU-CANADA Programme Level Cooperation
A science and technology cooperation agreement has been in place since 1996, and is not limited in time. The science and technology cooperation dialogue happens through the EU-Canada Joint Science and Technology Cooperation Committee. Main areas of cooperation include:
- Health
- ICT and food
- Agriculture and fisheries
- Biotechnology
Biotechnology has grown to become a best practice for international cooperation, with the development of a very successful project-twinning mechanism which is spreading to other geographical and to other research areas (energy).
