SECAS targets the improved collaboration of European ICT researchers with their colleagues in Australia and Singapore based on an identification and demonstration of mutual interest in S&T cooperation, sharing best practices and better research policies.

It will identify topics and constituencies for deeper strategic collaboration, enter into a dialog with leading innovation communities, and identify common needs and opportunities for cooperative RTD. SECAS will use the RTD policy analytical capability of the consortium partners and from partner’s countries, information events, and interviews with experts from industry and academia.

SECAS is an initiative of leading policy advisors, a national ICT institute, and ICT innovation researcher. Previous analyses and existing networks will be exploited to leverage SECAS impact to all ICT areas relevant to industrial and academic RTD cooperation.
