PACE-Net Plus: A bridge over Europe and the Pacific region for science, technology and innovation
Tuesday 21 March 2017

ANU academic Dr Katherine Daniell is one of the expert contributors to PACE-NET Plus, and the recent release of its Outcomes Report.

This compendium presents the outcomes of PACE-NET Plus, a project funded by the European Commission (EC) under the 7th Framework Programme, which united 16 partners in the Pacific and the European Union. The project was coordinated by the French Research Institute for Sustainable Development (IRD) to strengthen Science, Technology and Innovation (ST&I) cooperation between the Pacific island countries and Europe. This partnership involved a comprehensive collection of Pacific and European ST&I actors, including The Australian National University.

The opportunities for European and Pacific researchers to collaborate are many and diverse. The European Union policies and scientific strategies aim at reinforcing these collaboration opportunities, notably through Horizon 2020, the European framework programme dedicated to research and innovation. Strengthening the Europe-Pacific bi-regional dialogue in ST&I is a key step in achieving increased collaboration towards the societal challenges identified in Horizon 2020.

Dr Katherine Daniell is Europe Research Development Manager at the ANU Centre for European Studies, and Senior Lecturer at the ANU Fenner School of Environment and Society.
