Validity of the Third Programme and planning of future meetings The institutions in charge of the co-ordination and the realisation of the present Program are: for the Italian side: Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MAE), Directorate General for Cultural Promotion and Co-operation. for the Vietnamese side: Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST). 1. Present state of scientific and technological co-operation The two Parties have agreed to recognise the growing importance of science and technology for the economical, social and cultural development of the two Countries. The two Parties, considering the good relationships between the two Countries, have remarked the need to develop and further strengthen the co-operation in the fields of science and technology. 2. New Programme of co-operation The Joint Commission discussed the scope and contents of the Third Italian-Vietnamese Executive Programme of Co-operation in S&T for 2006 – 2008. The Commission also discussed the financial and administrative provisions for its implementation. The Vietnamese – Italian Executive Programme of Co-operation in S&T for 2006 – 2008 includes the following activities: - Exchange and /or visits of scientists and technical experts; - Joint research projects (including seminars, workshops and training activities). In the period 1st of March – 30th of April 2005 a joint call for proposals was launched to collect bilateral projects in the following priority areas: Agriculture and Biotechnology (AB) Information and its Applications (IA) Basic Sciences (BS) Energy and Environment (EE) Medicine and Health (MH) Conservation and Restoration of Ancient Monuments (CR) A total number of 21 projects were received by both Parties, plus 8 projects only received by the Italian party. The two Parties, in deciding which projects should be given priority financial support, agreed on the following criteria: scientific relevance of the project; impact on the bilateral S&T relations; potentialities for creating R&D; potentialities of social and economic impact; quality in the project presentation. Based on these criteria, 21 projects have been selected to be granted financial support for the exchange of researchers. The list of the selected projects is given in Annex II. The administrative and financial provisions for the implementation of the Programme are given in Annex III. Among these 21 projects, the Italian party will also consider granting an additional financial contribution to 9 projects as significant bilateral research projects. A preliminary list of such projects is given in Annex IV. These financial contributions are intended to partly cover the research activities of the projects. Financial support will be granted to the Italian partners of the joint project upon evaluation of the applications to be submitted according to indications that will be given by the Italian side. 3. Validity of the Third Programme and planning of future meetings The Third Programme of Co-operation for the years 2006 - 2008 shall enter into force from the date of signature and will be valid until the signature of the next one, but no longer than one year after its expiration.
