DRAGON-STAR PLUS follows its predecessor (DRAGON-STAR), in its important mandate to provide support services to European and Chinese researchers and policy makers, and to offer a flexible platform to facilitate policy discussions between European and Chinese stakeholders. The project has received funding under European Commission’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme, under Grant Agreement No645775.
Over 3 years (1 Feb 2015 – 31 Jan 2018), through the DRAGON STAR Plus project and building on the results of the DRAGON STAR project, they will:
- Support the European and Chinese research communities to establish collaborations under Horizon 2020 and beyond.
- Provide a cooperation platform and tools to policy makers, aiming ultimately to support and enhance the bilateral cooperation, through the concept of mutual benefit.
- Provide an ERA-NET style platform to funding agencies for exchanging best practices and planning joint activities in the field.
