2006 – 2012
The CRN 2 supported 13 projects. Building on previous programs, the CRN 2 continued to promote research cooperation and exchange of information in an integrated way through interdisciplinary studies and international networks involving at least 4 countries in each project. Based on the lessons learned in previous programs, the IAI Directorate started to promote interaction among the networks and the synthesis of results that would be useful to decision and policy makers.
