About EUROCORES
The EUROCORES (European Collaborative Research) Scheme was developed to engage the European science in recognised scientific problems through larger scale collaborative research programmes. How do we do this you might ask? We offer a framework which is flexible and where researchers from Europe and sometimes further afield, for example, the US and Canada, can work together. This means researchers in a specific topic are able to collaborate, independent of their country of origin.
