The Conference encompassed the overview of various international policies, initiatives and programmes targeting the region, such as UN-multilateral, EU-funded and bi-lateral projects, as well as a mix of national EaP programmes. The Conference provided an excellent opportunity of bringing together a good number of best practice examples of projects from the region with the aim to create synergies among them and exploit the potential for networking and future cooperation in H2020.

Over the course of the two days of the Policy Stakeholders Conference more than 30 presentations were made, including one by IASON. The conference updated and additional information (presentations, agenda, gallery) can be found at IncoNet EaP project webpage.
