1. Río de Janeiro 18 July 2009 Science & Technology Indicators for EULARINET Indicators for bi-regional cooperation comparison Documents analysed: OST: S&T Indicators for EULANEST (Nov. 2007) IEDCYT: S&T Indicators for EULARINET (Feb. 2009) RICYT: online data

2. EULARINET (European Union-Latin American Research and Innovation Networks) WP1 Analysis, Monitoring and Review Task 1.2 Evaluation of bi-regional cooperation. Task leader: IRD This task has to search for appropriate indicators of S&T to measure the effects of bioregional cooperation. A concerted consultation between three observatories is proposed: IEDCYT, OST and RICYT in order to prepare a proposition of indicators. The set of indicators should allow the monitoring of: 1. financial flows related to bi-regional cooperation 2. human resources movements OST 3. scientific results obtained OST IEDCyT 4. technological results obtained OST IEDCyT 5. LA participation in European FP and vice-versa OST
