The Forum for European–Australian Science and Technology Cooperation (commonly known as “FEAST”) is an organization established by the Australian Government and the European Union to highlight, promote, and facilitate research collaboration between their respective communities. The FEAST Secretariat is hosted by The Australian National University on behalf of the research community. FEAST’s mandate is derived from intergovernmental talks between Australia and the European Union. The 1997 Joint Declaration on Relations between Australia and the European Union formalised the commitment to enhanced co-operation, and the Agenda for Co-operation (2003) specifically identified Australia and Europe’s commitment to making optimal use of FEAST as a key vehicle in promoting, facilitating, and evaluating collaborative research between Australia and Europe. FEAST aims to: - highlight existing multilateral and bilateral S&T cooperation between Europe and Australia; and
- improve this cooperation, particularly multilateral cooperation, through identifying priorities and enhancing the quality, quantity and visibility of future action.
The specific objectives are: - To increase the links between European and Australian researchers;
- To better identify, promote, and demonstrate cooperation;
- To improve the process of providing information on Australian and European programmes promoting cooperating between Europe and Australia;
- To exchange best practices and support cutting edge research; and
- To provide opportunities for present state of the art S&T, and improve the prospects for cooperation in these fields.
More information regarding FEAST can be found here. |

As part of the European Economic Recovery Plan, the Commission is launching three Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) in close cooperation with industry on "Factories of the Future", "Energy-efficient Buildings" and "Green Cars" to provide EUR 3.2 billion of support for long-term "smart" research investment in the manufacturing, construction and automotive sectors.
To meet the need for a rapid start-up, the initiatives will be implemented in the first instance through a series of cross-thematic Coordinated Calls under the Work Programme 2010 between the relevant FP7 themes. The total European Commission budget in 2010 for these calls is € 268 million. The Calls are planned to be published in July 2009, with the first research projects expected to start in the spring of 2010.
