[Jerusalem Post] Ari Syrquin - The EU and Israel agreed last month to renew their science and technological cooperation, giving Israeli researchers, universities and companies full access to the EU's Seventh Research Framework Program (FP7). Israeli researchers will be able to receive funding on an equal footing with researchers from EU's member states. "Israel's association to the Framework Program has proved to be of mutual benefit for both sides over the last couple of years. Whereas the European Research Area will benefit from the renowned excellence of the Israeli research community, Israel will gain full access to the biggest research program in the world," said EU Science and Research Commissioner Janez Potocnik during the signing ceremony in Brussels.
