EU-LAC (European Union-Latin American and Caribbean) Interest Group Joint Actions

Bi-regional funding opportunities between Latin American and Caribbean countries and EU Member States and Associated Countries wishing to engage in science, technology and innovation collaboration.

The EU-LAC Interest Group (IG) is composed of funding agencies from Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) countries and EU Member States and Associated Countries wishing to cooperate in bi-regional science, technology and innovation (STI) collaboration, and the implementation of the EU-CELAC Common Research Area through joint actions.

The Interest Group was established as an outcome of the EU funded bi-regional ERANet-LAC project (2013-2017). It aims to support the implementation of the Common Research Area (CRA) and to create further added value to its three pillars: mobility of researchers, international outreach of research infrastructures and increased thematic cooperation to address global challenges.

In this way it works to enhance the knowledge on EU-LAC research & innovation activities, projects, results and funding opportunities, contributing to strengthening links between both regions.
