In order to support Member States of the South Eastern European (SEE) Region in defining their policies for science, the UNESCO Office in Venice has initiated a mapping of research centres established in the area. The database created, shall provide the knowledge of basic indicators related to the research centres and institutions in an attempt to acknowledge, on the one side, quality research undertaken in the region in basic and engineering sciences (BES) and related scientific fields, and, on the other side, the potential of the research centres and institutes to take an active part in regional and international scientific cooperation.

A preliminary matrix can be found here (MS Word file).

The UNESCO office in Venice is offering 3 research grants at CERN for young scientists from
