"This project aims at increasing the knowledge, participation and articulation of the actors of different EU research institutions (universities, public and private research centers, individual researchers, etc.) in Mexico in the field of Science – Technology and Innovation. The results are expected to improve the development of the Euro-Mexican research area and, in particular, to identify access opportunities for European researchers in research programmes managed by Mexico. The objectives of the project are: To articulate with other Europeans projects comparative access process to third countries. To collect and produce information useful for the segmented sectors. To generate a “Real LINK” between selected high level Europeans institutions which provide the best possibilities in ST&I for Mexico. To monitor the European participation in projects, scholarships and other bonds of access. To provide feedback on the preparation of agreements in ST&I for the EU-Mexico Joint Steering Committee (JSC). To increase the reciprocity stressed in the EU-MEXICAN bilateral agreement of 2004. Methodology: Collect and analysis information. Creation of strategic material to disseminate. Communication and dissemination Plan. Statistics, evaluations and analytical reports. This is the most appropriate methodology for increasing the awareness on access opportunities in Mexico to the European research community so as to stimulate, encourage and facilitate the participation of European organizations in the programmes managed by the target country. General Impact: ACCESS2MEXCYT will provide the UE with relevant information about the possibilities and opportunities of the Mexican research area. Therefore, it will increase the quantity and quality of European participation in Mexico, by improving the existing relation or by developing a fruitful relationship between not only researchers, research centers and universities, but also with regard to SMEs."
