5 D2.3 Reprt n R&D Mapping 1. Intrductin The wrk freseen in the frame f this activity aim at elabrating a detailed mapping f jint Research Themes between EU and GCC, and at enhancing the S&T cperatin in specific areas f research. The results presented here are derived frm a detailed survey f the main research filed in the GCC cuntries. The infrmatin prvided are derived frm fficially apprved dcuments cming frm ur institutinal partners, and harmnized with the main guidelines f the Eurpean research prgrammes. Fr the selectin f the R&D Pririty Areas, Natinal Research & Develpment Prgrammes f the different GCC cuntries have been carefully taken int accunt and linked t the main EU and Eurpean Natin Research Prgrammes. Beside the links with Eurpean and Internatinal R&D pririties, cmmn natinal EU and GCC interests are imprtant issues t prmte the cperatin between GCC cuntries, t facilitate the jint research activities between stakehlders frm Academia, Research Institutes, Industry and Public sectr, and t establish a cmmn and fruitful S&T cmmn framewrk in bth regins. This infrmatin has then been harmnized with the guidelines f the EU R&T prgrammes and GCC strategic develpment visins. Mrever, key areas have been evaluated in terms f implementatin f Science and Technlgy Innvatin (STI) plicy decisin, which are essential in achieving a cmpetitive advantage fr any cuntry. The results will be further linked t mainstream plicy framewrk within WP1.2. The result has been an interesting mapping n all pssible research fields f cmmn interest and at the selectin f the mst prmising subject f cllabratin. The reprt des nt present the final utput f the wrk undertaken, as the research pririties areas and tpics will be refined and updates during the all schedule f the prject. The wrk will cntinue t address further issues and t link with fllw-up activities in ther wrk-packages and will result in additinal utputs. As cmmn themes in R&D have been identified, the effrt is under way t enable the start up f cncrete c-peratins between the tw regins n selected issues n priritized areas. A descriptive list f research rganisatin in the Gulf has been established (see deliverable D2.1), the GCC stakehlders have been further gruped as a functin f their main research interests and finally links with EU stakehlders with similar activities and ptential fr cperatin is under further develpment. Mrever, the utput and results presented here will be further prcessed fr the purpse t reaching a wider audience. The final utput will be the identificatin f jint research tpics t be submitted t the EU Cmmissin fr pssible jint cperatin in the frame f future Wrk Prgrammes 26/4/2012 FP The INCONET-GCC Cnsrtium Page 5 f 31

This will include the identificatin f the dmains fr interventin in terms f plicymaking and the assessment f their influence t the EU and GCC research plicy agendas (White Paper). 26/4/2012 FP The INCONET-GCC Cnsrtium Page 6 f 31

7 D2.3 Reprt n R&D Mapping 2. Identificatin f jint research pririties Fllwing the methdlgy described in deliverable D2.2: INCONET-GCC Institutinalisatin Strategy, the identificatin f jint S&T Research and Develpment Pririties Areas has been pursued in parallel t the S&T Plicy Dialgue activities perfrmed in WP1 and fllwing a bttm-up apprach, in rder t take advantage f the existing activities and excellence in bth regins. In additin, results will be matched with the utputs f the biblimetric analysis develped by the Lndn Schl f Ecnmics (LSE) fr mapping research cllabratin netwrks using biblimetric data, and evaluated in terms f their influence t the EU and GCC research plicy agendas. Practically, three steps have been identified t pursue the selectin f the mst prmising areas and subject f cperatin: 1. Pririty Areas. General fields f cmmn interest, based n the guideline f the EU- PF7 prgramme, and the main natinal GCC natinal research strategic plans. 2. Pririty Subjects. Mre specific research tpics, selected within the priritized areas and as a functin f a mapping f the existing research interests, the main bi-lateral cperatin lines, and the stakehlders cmmunities. 3. Case Studies. Selected cncrete netwrks between GCC and EU institutins and stakehlders, ready t start effective cllabratin and t submit jint prpsal t the FP7 prgramme and GCC natinal funding authrities. Lking at different pririty settings, the main develpment guidelines in the tw regins largely match each ther s, with hwever different weights in sme areas, as fr instance water related issues. The mapping f cmmn R&D activities shwed a very wide and intercnnected range f subjects, highlighting a very interesting framewrk fr EU-GCC cperatin in a lt f different fields. Hwever, t assure an ptimal develpment f the wrk and t facilitate pssible negtiatins fr future jint R&D prgramme, the number f R&D Research Pririty Areas will be limited t fur, selected t maximise their impact in bth regins. Nevertheless, as the discussins have highlighted numerus fields f cncrete interests in cperatin, three additinal tpics, have been cnsidered as additinal areas f pssible cperatin. These fields are mre related t specific interests f sme GCC cuntries, and/r are partially cvered by ther areas r transversal issues. Hwever, they will be als develped under the umbrella f INCONET-GCC, t assure a maximum level f participatin f GCC partners t EU prgrammes. 26/4/2012 FP The INCONET-GCC Cnsrtium Page 7 f 31

8 D2.3 Reprt n R&D Mapping Cperatin with ther EU Netwrks has been effectively implemented in relatin t relevant research pririties areas. In particular, the energy and water related issues have been discussed with the EU-GCC Clean Energy Netwrk (DX RELEX), MIRA and MELIA prjects. Diagram in Figure 1 reprt the main structure f the strategy fr the selectin f Research Pririties. Figure 1: Strategy fr the selectin f Research Pririties 2.1 Biblimetric analysis 1 In rder t aid the frmatin f a research cllabratin netwrk between the GCC and Eurpe in an efficient way, the LSE have develped a methd fr mapping research cllabratin netwrks using biblimetric data. The purpse f the creatin and evaluatin f research netwrk maps is rughly three-fld; it can help assess the current strength f research and research cllabratin f the GCC acrss research fields, identify research areas in which cllabratin between the GCC and Eurpe is particularly strng already, and discern the research areas with mst mmentum by tracking the evlutin f research cllabratin netwrks. By mapping and evaluating the research netwrks f the biggest research areas in the GCC (as measured by the number f publicatins) as well as the research pririty areas identified by the GCC stakehlders we thus aim t help cmpile a list f research pririties that is bth relevant and likely cnducive f fruitful cllabratin between the GCC and Eurpe. 1 Sectin prepared by Prf. Andrea Prat and Dr. Irnina Ytsma 26/4/2012 FP The INCONET-GCC Cnsrtium Page 8 f 31

9 D2.3 Reprt n R&D Mapping Backgrund f Biblimetric Analysis The mapping methd develped brrws frm rughly three lines f research. The first is the literature n c-authrship netwrks cmprising descriptive empirical studies (studying and classifying the tplgy f research netwrks acrss research fields and time), theretical wrk geared twards cnstructing mdels f netwrk frmatin and simulatin attempts t match the evlutin and tplgy f real-wrld research netwrks. Imprtant papers in this line f research are Barabási et al. (2002), Newman, M.E.J. (2004) and Gyal et al. (2006). Watts, Duncan J. (2004) prvides a nice review f this literature. The secnd strand f research frm which we draw is the vast infrmatin science literature n research cllabratin netwrks and the study f scientific dmains that prpses varius methds f mapping and evaluating cllabratin netwrks using biblimetric and additinal - usually web-based data (Cf. Heimeriks et al. (2003), Mya- Anegón et al. (2004), Leydesdrff and Rafls (2008), and De Bellis (2009) fr a nice verview). The standard research area categrisatin in this literature appears t be Thmsn Reuter s ISI subject categrisatin and we emply it fr ur biblimetric analysis accrdingly. Finally, ur wrk relates t that f thers wh use bibligraphic databases t assess research strength in parts f the wrld and acrss research fields, mst ntably the biblimetric study f Suth-East Asia by Peter Haddawy and Adam s et al. (2010) Glbal Research Reprt n Africa. Haddawy uses Elsevier s Scpus as biblimetric input database, while the latter draws frm the ISI Web f Science database. Given that the ISI database emplys the subject categrisatin that appears t be the standard in bibli- and scientmetric research, we use it as principal database fr ur analysis, but cmplement it with data frm Scpus where ISI is lacking - as further utlined in the next sectin Methd The basic idea f mapping research netwrks is t visualise research cllabratins by pltting researchers/research centres/cuntries as ndes and cnnecting ndes that have cllabrated. We base ur maps f research netwrks n publicatins included in the ISI web f science database, cmplemented with infrmatin frm Elsevier Scpus, and fcus slely n cllabratin that is manifested as c-authrship. Because we aim t visualise and evaluate the research netwrk f the GCC in relatin t Eurpe and the rest f the wrld, we take the six GCCs and Yemen, Eurpe, the USA (tgether with Canada, Australia and New Zealand), the 6 ther INCONET prject clusters 2 and the rest f the 2 These prjects are CAAST, EECA, EULARINET, MIRA, SEA and WBC. 26/4/2012 FP The INCONET-GCC Cnsrtium Page 9 f 31

10 D2.3 Reprt n R&D Mapping wrld as ndes in the netwrk and represent a c-authrship between any f these ndes by a line cnnecting them. The creatin f a research netwrk map fllws a number f steps. First an verview f scientific publicatins by authrs f which at least ne was affiliated with an institutin in the GCC r Yemen at the time f publicatin is dwnladed frm the ISI and Scpus databases. The verview is refined by ISI categry r mre specific research tpic, depending n the scpe f the map t be created. Next, authrs are replaced by the cuntry f their research affiliatin t generate an affiliatins-by-publicatin matrix. Because the authr affiliatin entries listed by ISI are far less cmplete than thse listed by Scpus, we supplement ISI affiliatins with nes frm Scpus fr all matching publicatins, where publicatins are matched n title. The affiliatins-by-publicatin matrix is used t cnstruct a netwrk matrix in which the (i,j) th entry gives the ttal number f c-authrships between authrs affiliated with cuntry (grup) i and authrs affiliated with cuntry (grup) j, weighted by adjusted Ttal Cites f the publicatin surces f the respective publicatins. The Ttal Cites metric is taken frm Thmsn Reuter s Jurnal Citatin Reprt It gives the ttal number f citatins t a jurnal in the JCR year. Because nt all publicatin surces appearing in the ISI publicatin database feature in the JCR we cnstructed an adjusted ttal cites metric where every surce nt listed in the JCR is awarded a Ttal Cite f 1. The netwrk matrix in turn is used t plt the crrespnding research netwrk map using UCINET 3. In these netwrk maps the size f a nde representing a particular cuntry (grup) depends n the number f publicatins its affiliated authrs published in the given time span, weighted by adjusted Ttal Cites f the crrespnding publicatin surces. Similarly, the thickness f a link between tw ndes represents the number f c-authred publicatins authrs affiliated with the tw cuntries (grups) prduced, again weighted by crrespnding adjusted Ttal Cites. Using the methd utlined abve c-authrship netwrk maps f the mst prmising field f cperatin and the results have been cmpared. Results will be harmnized with the results f the R&D mapping and the identificatin f the research pririties during the last part f the prject. 3 The netwrk matrix used fr mapping the netwrk ignres any c-authrship links amngst and within nn-gcc & Yemen cuntries as these c-authrships are nly a small subsample f the ttal c-authrships between and within nn-gcc & Yemen cuntries due t the way in which publicatins were selected (based n affiliatin with GCC and Yemen) and therefre uninfrmative. 26/4/2012 FP The INCONET-GCC Cnsrtium Page 10 f 31

13 D2.3 Reprt n R&D Mapping 2.2 Research Pririty Areas Based n a number f infrmatin, and fllwing the engagement and research fields identificatin strategies described in the previus sectins, strategically imprtant R&D issues, with high scial and ecnmical relevance fr bth regins have been selected. Cllabratin in these areas will represent achievement f critical research and technlgical advances in the medium t lng term in bth regins. The research areas, identified n the base f the analysis f the regin s needs and the develpment s strategies, are gruped as: Envirnment, Water and Climate (including Marine, Agriculture, and Fd) Health Energy Security ICT Additinal subjects, mre related t specific interests in sme cuntries are: Aerspace Transprts Material Research develpments and applicatins f bitechnlgies and nantechnlgies, while retaining a distinct research character as well, have becme an integral part f R&D activities in many fields (e.g. life science, agr-industry, chemical industry, energy, envirnment, etc) and have been cnsidered as transversal issues Envirnment, Water and Climate (including Marine, Agriculture, and Fd) Internatinal effrts are fcused n the lng-term develpments and applicatins f new advanced methds/technlgies and innvative tls fr integrated analysis and prtectin f the envirnment. In additin, a strategy fr cntrl, assessment and treatment f envirnmental pllutin is an essential pint, with emphasis n specific scial and ecnmic areas f natinal interest. In particular, envirnmental mnitring and remediatin issues are f great interest and imprtance fr the cntrl f pllutin, the sustainable develpment and the ptimisatin f the resurces Energy Security The energy plicy bjectives in the realm f the 21 st century are driven by the needs fr envirnmental prtectin against glbal warning, sustainable develpment, and security f 26/4/2012 FP The INCONET-GCC Cnsrtium Page 13 f 31

14 D2.3 Reprt n R&D Mapping energy supply. The Eurpean Unin (EU) energy plicy addresses the majr energy challenges facing Eurpe tday, i.e. climate change, the increasing dependence n imprts, the strain n energy resurces and the access fr all users t affrdable, secure energy. The EU is putting in place an ambitius energy plicy cvering the full range f energy surces frm fssil fuels (il, gas and cal) t nuclear and renewable energy (slar, wind, bimass, gethermal, hydr-electric and tidal). Renewable surces f energy are essential alternatives t fssil fuels and the EU Directives n Renewable Energies sets ambitius targets, such a 20% share f energy frm renewable surces by Greenhuse Gas Reductins (20%), Energy Generatin (20%), Energy Efficiency (20%)- with a 10% share f renewable energies specifically in the transprt sectr. Strategic issues in the GCC cuntries are related enhanced il recvery and t the use f energy resurces fr water desalinatin Health The imprtance f Health and Life Science in the internatinal research is well established, prviding the bases fr understanding nature, fighting diseases and develping innvative prducts in the bitechnlgy, pharmaceutical, and treatments. The new develpments in Life Sciences research are widely expected t have an essential impact n scieties and their ecnmies wrldwide. Special attentin in the GCC cuntries, and in Eurpe as well, is devted t preventin, diagnsis, and treatment f diabetes, and t the related issues, like besity Infrmatin & Cmmunicatin Technlgies Current trends lead t miniaturizatin via the applicatin and further evlutin f nantechnlgies and nan-systems t prvide an integrated ambient intelligence Envirnment fr the future. Current strnghlds are in netwrk and service infrastructures and in cmpnents, systems and engineering. New pprtunities are arising frm nvel technlgy paths, in particular thse that make ICT systems mre cntext-aware, persnalised and better able t learn and adapt frm bservatins and experience. Majr pprtunities als emerge frm new ways f using and applying ICT fr digital cntent management, sustainable health, safer mbility, energy efficiency and envirnment, and fr independent living and inclusin. 26/4/2012 FP The INCONET-GCC Cnsrtium Page 14 f 31

15 D2.3 Reprt n R&D Mapping Additinal research areas Frm the survey f the existing activities and discussins with stakehlders in bth regins, three additinal subject have been highlighted: Aerspace Transprtatins Material Aerspace Besides its strategic relevance, the space sectr prvides a stimulus t innvatin and grwth in the ecnmy, and thus space research is expected t cntribute significantly t internatinal pririties, especially with regard t Smart and Sustainable Grwth and Innvatin. Supprt t the space sectr is crucial t cmpetitiveness at glbal level. The bjective f the FP7 space wrk prgramme is t supprt a Eurpean Space Plicy fcusing n applicatins such as GMES (Glbal Mnitring fr Envirnment and Security), with benefits fr citizens, but als ther space fundatin areas fr the cmpetitiveness f the Eurpean space industry. In sme GCC cuntries, principally the Kingdm f Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, interest is in the develpment f space-based sensrs fr natural disaster preventin and envirnmental issues Transprtatins The transprt system serves key rles in the transprtatin f peple and gds at the lcal, reginal, natinal and internatinal cntext. It is essential t a cuntry s prsperity and clsely linked t ecnmic grwth. The current framewrk aims at the develpment f technlgical slutins that will result in a safer, greener, mre intelligent and as persnalized as pssible transprt system. In the GCC, transprtatin is a cmmn cncern, and interests varies frm cuntry t cuntry, frm Intelligent Transprt System, t Traffic Security and Transprt Fuel Envirnmental Issues, which partially, are cvered in thers Pririty Research Areas. Materials Althugh there is an increasing emphasis n applicatins, lnger-term, research in key enabling technlgies is seen as a crucial driver f innvatin in the areas f nantechnlgy, materials and advanced manufacturing. Research in these areas will imprve the cmpetitiveness f industry and generate knwledge t ensure its transfrmatin frm a resurce-intensive t a knwledge-intensive industry. This will generate step changes in knwledge and implementing decisive knwledge fr new 26/4/2012 FP The INCONET-GCC Cnsrtium Page 15 f 31

16 D2.3 Reprt n R&D Mapping applicatins at the crssrads between different technlgies and disciplines. This will benefit bth new, high-tech industries and higher-value, knwledge-based traditinal industries, with a special fcus t the apprpriate disseminatin f R&T results t Small t Medium Enterprises (SMEs). Like fr the transprtatin area, in the GCC, research and develpment in material science is a general interest, which partially, is cvered in thers Pririty Research Areas. 2.3 Pririty Subjects Within general research fields, the priritizatin f the research subjects ften fllws patterns derived by three perspectives: scial s needs, academic disciplines, industrial develpments. The mst prmising research subjects f cmmn interests have been selected, based n the GCC regin s needs and n the Eurpean perspective fr a sustainable R&T framewrk matching the challenges that bth regins will face in the medium term. Frm the knwledge f existing cmmn Research Pririty Areas, sme specific subjects f particular, interest, Pririty subjects, have been discussed and analyzed indepth in rder t reduce the number f tpics and t set-up cncrete cperatin netwrks. These subjects will be further refined as a functin f additinal inputs within the INCONET team, as fr instance the results f a biblimetric analysis t establish the main existing bi-lateral c-peratins (sectin 2.1). Of a particular interest are the multidisciplinary aspects f the mst prmising field f cperatin. On this way, the cperatin with thers EU Netwrks, mre fcused t specific fields, as the EU Clean Energy Netwrk, have been particularly aimed t the develpment f multidisciplinary subjects Envirnment, Water and Climate Envirnment, Water and Climate include a wide range f issues and can be divided int fur brad categries: Figure 6: Envirnment, Water and Climate sub-categries 1.

23 D2.3 Reprt n R&D Mapping As stated abve, PEIE assumed the respnsibility f implementing the first pilt prject under the INCONET-GCC prgram, namely the FOOD CLUSTER INITIATIVE, in line with the Eurpean Fd Cluster Initiative. PEIE invited WP2 Crdinatrs t Muscat fr a preliminary assessment f the grund realities. Thus the team f experts had met and discussed with mst f the ptential stakehlders in Oman (such as Ministries f Cmmerce & Industry, Fisheries, Agriculture, etc., private fd prducts manufacturers and the cnsultancy rganizatin which had cnducted studies n the Fd Sectr in Oman) in May Twards the end, the team, alng with the CEO f PEIE, Mr. Hilal Al Ahsani, als met with HE The Minister f Cmmerce and Industry. Subsequent t the abve rather fact-finding meetings, PEIE prepared a visin dcument, which is appended. Accrding t PEIE s view the bjectives f the fd cluster shuld fcus arund: Enhancing the added value and level f technlgy emplyed in the fd sectr f Oman; Significantly cntributing twards enhancing the fd security in the regin; Generating quality emplyment pprtunities in the sectr; Prmting research, develpment, innvatin, quality assurance and apprpriate use f bitechnlgy by the sectr; Ensuring internatinal acceptance f Omani fd prducts by certificatin and by enhanced packaging, preservatin and branding methds; Bradening the value chain spectrum t include manufacturing f fd supplements, nutraceuticals and pharmaceutical prducts; Explring Unique Selling Prpsitins (Halal /Organic/Natural/Lcal) A decisin was taken t wrk simultaneusly n frming the Virtual Cluster cmprising the existing key and interested players in the fd sectr and at the same time target n certain critical physical infrastructure and facilities, which will give impetus t the initiative. This is als based n the earlier thinking at PEIE and the Ministry f Cmmerce & Industry level t set up a Fd Technlgy Training and Develpment Centre, a cnclusin which was made after studying the Oman fd sectr in detail. PEIE envisages that the building blcks f the cluster can be as fllws: 26/4/2012 FP The INCONET-GCC Cnsrtium Page 23 f 31

24 D2.3 Reprt n R&D Mapping At the same time, PEIE als earmarked a land area f abut 300,000 sq.m fr creating the nuclear facilities fr the Fd Cluster initiative. It was als decided t d a prefeasibility study with the fllwing scpe f wrk: 1. Study and assessment f the existing plans and activities fr the develpment f the fd sectr in Oman based n backgrund infrmatin and material available frm PEIE and ther parallel mapping activities; it will assess their validity and their cmpatibility with the bjective f develping the Fd Cluster in Oman. The expected utcme is a GO/NO-GO Decisin fr the Omani Fd Cluster. 2. If it is GO Decisin: using the results f the studies already dne abut the lcal Fd Sectr, and emplying further investigative tls as needed, identify the gaps in the levels f prducts and technlgy fr the fd sectr in Oman (preservatin, prcessing, packaging, branding and value additin and pssibilities fr high value added prducts) and cmpare with sme reginal and Eurpean benchmarks and identify new and emerging pprtunities 3. Identificatin f suitable means f interventin t address the abve gaps and pprtunities; special emphasis will be placed in identifying best practices and slutins t practical prblems f the fd sectr f Oman such as fd preservatin; certificatin based quality standards; fd security; maximum use f the available resurces f land and water, internatinalizatin f activities and sales, etc. 4. Stakehlders Kick- ff Meeting in Oman that will mark the fficial launch f the Fd Cluster activities: a Stakehlders Kick- ff Meeting will be rganized in Oman. It will mark the start f the FC activities and it will be the vehicle t cmmunicate the FC visin, bjectives and activities t a brad spectrum f stakehlders encmpassing fd cmpanies, research entities, gvernmental rganizatins relevant t the scpe f the FC, etc. Internatinal experts will be invited and address issues such as fd 26/4/2012 FP The INCONET-GCC Cnsrtium Page 24 f 31

29 D2.3 Reprt n R&D Mapping 5. Cncluding remarks One way f accelerating the transfrmatin int a wrld-class research system is t use the internatinalisatin strategies effectively. The internatinalisatin f the Research and Technlgy framewrk can include several different aspects: attracting external talent, internatinal bi-lateral agreements, and participatin t research internatinal netwrks. While the tw first aspects are well implemented in mst f the GCC cuntries, the participatin f wide range internatinal netwrks is nt s present in the R&D framewrk. Strategies t leverage internatinal netwrks vary with the cuntry cnditins n ne hand and the netwrk characteristics n the ther hand. A cmmn and critical element t efficiently use the internatinal netwrk scheme is the existence f slid institutins, which is in line with the main visins fr develpment f the R&D framewrk in mst f the GCC cuntries, and with a cntinuity f the research and develpment lines, which is needed by a perfrming innvatin system in the regin. There is a great pprtunity fr tertiary educatin and research institutins t participate in the netwrk prcess. Universities have a ptent cmparative advantage t fllw best research results and trends in several dmains, brainstrm new ideas, identify leaders abrad, and gradually build a slid and innvative research framewrk. As a matter f cmparisn, the advantages f multinatinal netwrks in structuring the research with respect t bi-lateral cperatin scheme can be cmpared t investment in multidisciplinary research field with respect t fcused research dmains. Mrever, this will highlight at the internatinal level scientific and research excellence in the regin, helping t build a slid reputatin fr newly established institutins, and attracting internatinal attentin t the develpment in the regin. This is particularly trugh fr small states and in presence f a lack f critical mass f lcal talents. Multinatinal netwrks may, hwever, prvide a wider framewrk fr cperatin, a larger reservir f ideas and persnal cntacts, a mre multi-disciplinary apprach, and may facilitate the mbility and the exchange f students, researchers and scientists, cntributing t a mre gradual develpment f facilities and infrastructures. The Eurpean Framewrk Prgramme (FP) can enrl in this cntext, matching the establishment f cmmn EU-GCC research and develping the pririties f R&D in terms f Capacity Building and Innvatin. In the first part f the prgramme, key R&D areas have been evaluated in terms f Eurpean and Internatinal R&D pririties, cmmn natinal EU and GCC, the results have been harmnized with the guidelines f the EU R&T prgrammes and GCC strategic develpment visins. 26/4/2012 FP The INCONET-GCC Cnsrtium Page 29 f 31

30 D2.3 Reprt n R&D Mapping In the last part f the prgramme, the research pririties areas and tpics will be refined and updates t address further issues and t link with fllw-up activities in ther wrkpackages. Mrever key areas will be linked t the Science and Technlgy Innvatin (STI) plicies: this will result in additinal utputs with the aim t implement factual netwrks f cperatin between stakehlders in the tw regins and cnslidate cncrete cllabratins. 26/4/2012 FP The INCONET-GCC Cnsrtium Page 30 f 31
