WINS-ICT is an initiative funded by the Seventh Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development under the ICT theme of the Cooperation Programme. As a support action, WINS-ICT intends to strengthen Science and Technology cooperation between the EU and the Western Balkan Countries (WBC) by deepening the bi-regional strategic relations in the ICT field and promoting the participation of WB ICT researchers in FP7.

The main output of the project will be an improved policy dialogue in the field of ICT, reflecting the needs of the WBC and their priorities in future ICT Work Programmes, thus providing the ground for enhanced participation from the target region. The project will last from January 2009 to December 2010.

Project Countries: Albania, Austria, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Former Yugoslav Republic Of Macedonia, Germany, Greece, Italy, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia, Turkey, United Kingdom.

The WINS-ICT portal aims also at becoming a key reference point as to targeted information on ICT research in the Western Balkan countries and the opportunities of collaboration within the 7th Framework programme. In this framework the WINS-ICT portal inherits and further deepens the work initiated by the SCORE portal and acts in close cooperation with the WBC-INCO-NET and ICT-WEB-PROMS projects and related websites

The CEI is Partner in the WINS-ICT Project in charge of disseminating its results among its relevant institutional stakeholders in CEI Member States.
