General
objectives
|
|
The Asia Pro Eco Programme is designed to strengthen
the environmental dialogue between Europe and Asia.
Areas of activity comprise environmental management
capacity, market based approaches to environmental protection
and development, promotion and support of Europe-Asia
environmental R & D networks. For further details see
the Asia Pro Eco Website (http://europa.eu.int/comm/europeaid/projects/asia-pro-eco/index_en.htm)
Operational and Practical Dialogue
Each activity must contain the following subcomponents:
Conferences
For applicants who want to organise a conference relevant
to Asia Pro Eco main objectives. The Conferences will
highlight the EU perspective, linked to downstream technical
assistance and financing support. They should be organised
in conjunction with agencies/networks which have already
a track record, in order to promote innovative approaches
and long term vision. Applicants should aim to design
the conferences so that they have a long-lasting sustainable
impact. The organisation of Conferences may seek to
develop synergies with other environmental initiatives.
Studies
A study should prepare and fertilise the ground for
the Conference. Guidelines Documents (e.g. recommendations,
guidelines, conclusions) should refine the ideas taken
out of the Conferences so as to propose new ways of
managing environmental impact according to the issues
presented.
