In your article “A model for
EU-Israel integration” published in the English online version of
Haaretz (17 January 2007), you argue that a closer relationship between the
EU and Israel in the field of scientific and academic exchange would be of mutual interest for
EU and Israeli citizens, as well as for its research communities and consumers. Building on the successful European experience of encouraging research collaboration and financially supporting those who want to study or research abroad, you are inviting Israeli researchers to apply for and participate in the new Seventh Framework Programme that will be funded with 55 billion Euros.
