Cooperation Fields

Suggestion of Cooperation Way

Cooperation research Information exchange Co-organize workshopTraining Study tour Co-investigate and co-research

More than 70% projects have financial support

Part of projects -applying financial support and budgets

Part of projects –self-financing
