global challenges
We close this concluding chapter with the recommen-dations identified by the study on S&T cooperation in the area of global challenges (see also chapter 8).
conclusIons
• Successor(s) to the Framework Programme should continue to remain open to participation from ASEAN Member States. This sends an important signal that the EU remains open and committed to building relations with the ASEAN region. A sus-tained long-term commitment allows for a more comprehensive approach and is a unique selling point for bi-regional collaboration.
• The European Commission should also consider scope for Specific International Cooperation Actions (or similar actions) for global challenge research that permit greater integration of Southeast Asian re-search effort. The specific themes and aims for such actions should be co-defined by the two regions, and should build on existing regional frameworks.
• EU Member States should be encouraged to nurture bilateral research collaboration on global challeng-es with the ASEAN region. Thchalleng-ese play an important role in wider bi-regional cooperation.
• The European Commission and Member States should consider actions (such as bibliometric analy-sis or other on-line social networking tools) to en-sure that current research and collaboration trends are visible to interested parties.
• The potential wider benefits of scientific research collaboration on global challenges (e.g. tangible impact on local communities) should be recog-nised and be coupled with an assessment of how funding and collaboration approaches (successors of the FP7) can be modified. New forms of global challenge research cooperation beyond the scope of the Framework Programme, through for example READI (the non-trade related political dialogue) or through other cross-Directorate mechanisms (e.g.
innovation platforms), that permit a multidisciplinary
‘systems approach’ to problem solving are needed.
• A proportion of bi-regional research effort should aim to deliver tangible impacts for managing global challenges and help towards effecting practical out-comes. This may require more flexibility in the de-sign and approach to specific projects and should take account of policy and local contexts.
• A diverse range of links to local stakeholders or local networks should be encouraged, and include non-scientists, citizens and civil society groups. These could be engaged through, for example, advisory boards which may also help inform the research ef-fort. Consideration should also be given to the im-portant role of grey literature in informing and dis-seminating research.
• Consideration should be given to the allocation of follow-on grants (similar to those deployed by the European Research Council) to encourage research-ers to engage in high quality dissemination and knowledge transfer.
• There should be sufficient time during calls for project proposals to allow participants to identify suitable collaboration partners. There may be a role
for Member State’s Embassy representatives, EU Delegation representatives and National Contact Points.
• The EU should support ASEAN-COST in their contin-ued development of multidisciplinary centres of ex-cellence, and research platforms across the ASEAN region.
• Recognising that strong research relations can take years to mature, where appropriate, the personal in-terest and commitment of those involved in individ-uals taking part in projects should be taken into con-sideration. Sustained commitment and time-spent in country, in both regions should be encouraged and should feature as an integral part of projects where appropriate. This may also require additional oppor-tunities for language training
• Harnessing diaspora more effectively for bi-regional cooperation would also help capitalise on existing resources.
