Specific objectives of the actionSpecific objectives of the action

ToKToK

« These will be directed at European organisations (universities,

research centres, enterprises, etc.) in need of developing new areas of

competence, as well as at furthering the development of research

capabilities in the less-favoured regions of the EU and in the

Associated candidate countries. Knowledge transfer fellowships will

allow experienced researchers to be hosted at such organisations for

the transfer of knowledge, research competencies and technology. »
