The Access2Canada project is based on the need to solve the lack of awareness among EU researchers about the opportunities and obstacles for European researchers to access Canadian research and innovation programmes. The objective of this project is therefore to strengthen and increase EU-Canada S&T and innovation cooperation by supporting the access to these programmes for EU researchers. In order to achieve this main objective, the project intends to reach the following four goals: 1. Map Canadian R&D programmes and EU-Canada S&T agreements, and identify opportunities and obstacles for the EU research community to access Canadian research and innovation programmes; 2. Raise awareness amongst EU researchers about Canadian research and innovation programmes and encourage EU researchers to participate; 3. Assess European researcher participation in Canadian research and innovation programmes; and 4. Provide feedback to the EC and JSTCC about the opportunities and obstacles for EU researchers and present suggestions to improve the S&T cooperation. Added efforts will be made to identify and assess any opportunities provided by Canadian innovation programmes and players that might support cooperation in innovation with Europe The results of the project will be publicly available on a (proposed common ACCESS4EU) website, and presented during information days, (online) conferences and relevant events in Europe. The expected impact of the project will be the reinforcement of the current bilateral S&T agreement between Canada and the EU, an increased participation of EU researchers in Canadian research and innovation programmes, and a better understanding of the reciprocity of research and innovation programmes on both sides.
