for the Mediterranean partner countries, issues relating to environment, health and water issues, as well as protection of the cultural heritage

for Western Balkan countries: reinforcement of research capacity

for Russia and the other NIS: stabilization of R&D potential, issues relating to changes in the industrial production system, environment and health protection and various safety aspects

cooperation activities with Russia and the NIS will be carried out in particular through the INTAS structure set up jointly by the Community and the Member States


What does complementarity mean? Specific topics not at all covered by thematic priorities

example:

Topics covered as well by thematic priorities, but with location specific angle/focus ex.: Water (equitable use of shared water resources in
