    INTEGRATING ARMENIA INTO ERA



    Integration of the South Caucasus countries into ERA is one of the
    priorities of EU s European Neighbourhood Policy. This is the
    objective of ERAWIDE initiative aimed at reinforcing the cooperation
    capacity of a prominent R&D centre in these countries by providing the
    possibilities to improve its research activities in the areas of
    thematic priorities of FP7. The government of the Republic of Armenia
    recommended as such a centre the Center of Medical Genetics and
    Primary Health Care (CMG) due to its high reputation, broad
    international contacts, participation in FP7, and the importance of
    the top-level research in Medical Genetics for general population.


    To reach this objective, the INARMERA project consortium consisting of
    CMG, the Institute of Cancer Biology of the Danish Cancer Society, and
    the European Centre for Knowledge and Technology Transfer (Belgium)
    will carry out research assessment of CMG, will organise training in
    FP7 for CMG scientists and their research training in Medical
    Genetics. For networking and dissemination purposes workshops and
    summer schools will be organised in Armenia while Armenian scientists
    will attend events in Europe.

    Meantime from the start of INARMERA four Pilot Trial Projects in
    Medical Genetics will be organised between CMG scientists and their
    colleagues in Europe, but also in Georgia, highlighting the regional
    aspect of INARMERA. The Pilot Trials will help Participants to
    identify bottlenecks of cooperation and propose improvements.

    The Strategy Experts Group will develop strategy of CMG aiming at
    establishment of CMG as a visible centre of Medical Genetics studies
    in Caucasus, and turning it into a reliable partner for European
    institutions in Framework Programmes. Project results and achievements
    will be analysed and recommendations will be drawn to the authorities
    on strengthening EU-Armenia R&D cooperation leading to the successful
    start of integration of Armenia into ERA.
