The RCN International Strategy 2010-2020:
Brazil one of 10 priority countries
 Main action points:
 all RCN activities must have objectives and
plans for int’l cooperation
 RCN will promote participation in joint programs
across nat’l boundaries
 New instrument: financial support for
institutional cooperation N-abroad
 Refine and strengthen stimulation packages
 int’l coop and researcher mobility will be more
focused in project review processes
Demo2000 projects supported by
Petrobras
 Composite Drilling riser- Aker Subsea
 Field implemantation and
demonstration of PerForM for
optimized seismic monitoring of the
reservoir- READ
 Fiber Rope Deployment System-Odim
 Controlled Mud Pressure (CMP)
dual gradient drilling- AGR
1. Latin America programme
and
2. NorLARNet: NORwegian Latin America
Research NETwork
1. Research program to increase knowledge IN Norway
ABOUT Latin America (Brazil now with priority) in five broad
thematic areas ( incl. Natural resource management)
2. Network
 Events: guest lectures, user seminars, annual conference
 Database: Find your researcher
 Newsletter (electronic)

The Research Council’s Mobility programme:
Yggdrasil
 Offers grants to international PhD students and
young researchers for temporary stays in Norway
 Encompasses some 50 countries, from 2010 also
Brazil.
 Open to all academic areas of study/ research
 The Petromaks programme has given extra funding
earmarked for petroleum research/studies
Multilateral level:
Projects and Networking through EU
 EULANEST (6FP): European-Latin American Network for Science
and Technology
(5 E members, incl. N)
Joint call (with Brazil and Argentina) on Rewable energy, 2 of the
successful consortia include Brazilian and Norwegian partners (each
country financed their partner)
 EULARINET (7 FP) European Union- Latin American Research and
Innovation Networks ( 7 E and 7 LA members)
Among the goals: to identify mutual research priorities and
implement them through specific activites in 7 FP ( SICAs, financed
by EU) –www.eularinet.eu
 ALCUENET (7 FP)
a new INCO net under negotiation
 B-N cooperation in ordinary EU calls
Agreements RCN- CNPq?
 CNPq and RCN dialogue ongoing, as a follow-up of
MoU
 CNPq templates received:
 Agreement: Development of projects and
activities
 Work plan: Joint financing of projects, through
joint calls on topics mutually agreed upon
 Petroleum related topics seem particularly relevant ( several
seminars in Rio in 2011) but also renewable energy and other
topics to be discussed during this visit.
