Overview of bilateral research and innovation cooperation between the Western Balkans economies and EU Member States
A recently published overview reveals that bilateral research and innovation cooperation between the Western Balkans (WB) economies and EU Member States is both dynamic and asymmetrical. While some economies have established formalised agreements, joint funding programmes and institutional partnerships, others rely more extensively on multilateral EU initiatives.
The overview, prepared by the Horizon Europe project POLICY ANSWERS is based on 2025 surveys and desk research. It provides data on bilateral agreements, joint funding, researcher mobility and institutional cooperation between the WB economies and EU Member States, as well as enlargement countries such as Georgia, Moldova, Türkiye and Ukraine.
The Western Balkans Info Hub invites stakeholders to contribute updates and insights on bilateral cooperation between Western Balakans economies and EU Member States. For more information or to share your input, contact info@westernbalkans-infohub.e
The overview is prepared by our member organisation Centre for Social Innovation (ZSI), Austria.
