Multilateral Cooperation Initiatives 4. New bilateral Agreement for S&T cooperation 5. Venue and time of the next Joint Commission 1. Review of S&T cooperation between the two countries since the 6th Joint Commission The two Parties have agreed to recognise the growing importance of science and technology for the economic, social and cultural relations of the two Countries. The two Parties, considering the good relationships between the two Countries, stressed the need to develop and further the cooperation in the field of science and technology. 2. New program of cooperation In the period between June to July 2003 a joint call for proposals has been launched to collect bilateral projects in the following priority areas:· Information and Communication Technology (ICT) · Optoelectronics · Restoration and Preservation Technologies for Cultural Heritage · Physics and Astrophysics · Nano and Micro-technology · New Materials Technology · Agriculture and Food Science · Aerospace · Chemistry · Environment · Health and Biomedical Science · Dyeing and Finishing Technology The institutions in charge of the coordination and the realisation of the present protocol are: for the Italian party: Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Directorate General for Cultural Promotion and Cooperation for the Korean party: Ministry of Science and Technology, Science and Technology Cooperation Bureau 2-1 Projects for exchange of researchers The two Parties, in deciding to which projects should be given priority for financial support, have agreed on the following criteria: a) the scientific and technological needs of the two Countries; b) potential innovation capabilities. Based on these criteria, 11 projects have been selected to be granted financial support for the exchange
of researchers. The list of the selected projects is given in Annex 2. The administrative and financial provisions for the implementation of the Program are given in Annex 3. 2-2 Revision of financial provisions Both Parties agreed to discuss new financial provisions through diplomatic channels.
