The RCN International Strategy 2010-2020: Brazil one of 10 priority countries
Main action points:
all RCN activities must have objectives and plans for int’l cooperation
RCN will promote participation in joint programs across nat’l boundaries
New instrument: financial support for institutional cooperation N-abroad
Refine and strengthen stimulation packages
int’l coop and researcher mobility will be more focused in project review processes
Demo2000 projects supported by Petrobras
Composite Drilling riser- Aker Subsea
Field implemantation and demonstration of PerForM for optimized seismic monitoring of the reservoir- READ
Fiber Rope Deployment System-Odim
Controlled Mud Pressure (CMP)dual gradient drilling- AGR
1. Latin America programmeand 2. NorLARNet: NORwegian Latin America Research NETwork
1. Research program to increase knowledge IN Norway
ABOUT Latin America (Brazil now with priority) in five broad thematic areas ( incl. Natural resource management)
2. Network
Events: guest lectures, user seminars, annual conference
Database: Find your researcher
Newsletter (electronic)

The Research Council’s Mobility programme: Yggdrasil
Offers grants to international PhD students and young researchers for temporary stays in Norway
Encompasses some 50 countries, from 2010 also Brazil.
Open to all academic areas of study/ research
The Petromaks programme has given extra funding earmarked for petroleum research/studies
Multilateral level: Projects and Networking through EU
EULANEST (6FP): European-Latin American Network for Science and Technology (5 E members, incl. N)
Joint call (with Brazil and Argentina) on Rewable energy, 2 of the successful consortia include Brazilian and Norwegian partners (each country financed their partner)
EULARINET (7 FP) European Union- Latin American Research and Innovation Networks ( 7 E and 7 LA members)
Among the goals: to identify mutual research priorities and implement them through specific activites in 7 FP ( SICAs, financed by EU) –www.eularinet.eu
ALCUENET (7 FP) a new INCO net under negotiation
B-N cooperation in ordinary EU calls
Agreements RCN- CNPq?
CNPq and RCN dialogue ongoing, as a follow-up of MoU
CNPq templates received:
Agreement: Development of projects and activities
Work plan: Joint financing of projects, through joint calls on topics mutually agreed upon
Petroleum related topics seem particularly relevant ( several seminars in Rio in 2011) but also renewable energy and other topics to be discussed during this visit.
