Under the Plan of Action to Implement the ASEAN-EU Strategic Partnership (2023-2027), the EU and ASEAN have committed to enhance cooperation on research and innovation, science and technology particularly via the ASEAN-EUROPEAN Dialogue on Science and Technology to strengthen the partnership between the two regions and promote sustainable economic growth and development through scientific and technological collaboration. Further, both regions aim to continue cooperation in promoting the findings of the Mid-Term Review in the implementation of the ASEAN Plan of Action on Science, Technology and Innovation (APASTI) 2016-2025 as a building block for ASEAN-EU Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) cooperation and work closely via the ASEAN Committee on Science, Technology and Innovation (COSTI).
A strategic vehicle for EU-ASEAN cooperation in STI is through Horizon Europe - the European Union's flagship research and innovation funding program, with a budget of over €95 billion for the period 2021-2027. It has three main pillars, namely, Excellent Science, Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness, and Innovative Europe. Horizon Europe Pillar 2 is of particular relevance to ASEAN researchers and institutions, as it focuses on addressing global challenges such as health, climate, and digital transformation, which are also important for the ASEAN region.
The event series will run in a hybrid format between May and September 2023 and will start with a general info session on Horizon Europe in followed by targeted info sessions on Clusters under Pillar 2 that are of relevance to ASEAN. The series will culminate with a Horizon Europe InfoDay / Training event to be held in the margins/back-to-back, of the ASEAN COSTI meeting (Partnership Dialogue) which will provide the opportunity for all ASEAN COSTI members to participate onsite.
