EU RTD Framework Programme

Israel in the EU Framework Programs

In 1995 Israel signed an agreement with the European Union's Commission on Science, Research and Development to join the Fourth Framework Program. Israel is the first country outside of Europe to participate in the program.

The agreement enables Israeli research entities in academia and industry to apply to become involved in projects that are funded through the program.
