EULANEST Consortium

The EULANEST Consortium is composed by relevant stakeholders from European Union Member States (EU-MS) that have actively worked in international scientific cooperation with Latin American countries.

Besides the regular partners, that are the more active Member States working in international scientific cooperation with Latin American countries, a number of Member States that are just about to develop a strategy for Latin America, have been interested in participating in the project as observers: NOW-WOTRO (the Netherlands), Ministry of Science and Information Technology (Poland), MIUR (Italy), The British Academy (UK), Academy of Finland (Finland), Federal Ministry of Education, Science and Arts (Austria).

Moreover, the main research agencies of some Latin American countries that in principle were interested in joining the project as regular partners will finally participate as observers due to conditions of participation of Third countries organizations in the ERA-NET scheme, aimed to co-ordinate the national research programmes of Member States. The Latin American organisations are: Secretaría de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación (Argentina), Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología, CONACYT (México), Ministerio de Educación y Cultura (Uruguay), Comisión Nacional de Investigación Científica y Tecnológica, CONICYT (Chile), Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecxnológico,  CNPQ (Brasil).

In addition to these regular partners and observers, other relevant institutions in Spain (CDTI, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Spanish Agency for International Co-operation), Portugal (Fundação Ciência e Tecnologia, FCT) and France (Observatoire des Sciences et des Techniques, OST)  have also agreed to co-operate with EULANEST. Contact with other LAC will be continued.
