The overall objective of ENRICH is to pursue a major coherent European contribution to international actions on global change research. While considering the needs of EC programmes and activities, and taking into account the existing activities of the EC, and the EU and EFTA Member States, ENRICH aims to support the knowledge base for the development of EU policy objectives. It intends to do so by acting as a clearinghouse for the exchange of information and by promoting cooperation in research and capacity building. In addition to promoting collaboration in Western Europe (EU and EFTA), ENRICH also aims to encourage the endogenous research capabilities in developing countries mainly, but not exclusively, in Africa and the Mediterranean Basin and to promote support for relevant research initiatives in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe and the New Independent States of the former Soviet Union (NIS).
The main objectives of ENRICH are:
- to promote a pan-European contribution to the international global change research programmes;
- to foster collaboration between and promote support for global change research in Western Europe, Central and Eastern Europe and NIS, Africa and other developing countries;
- to promote the establishment of communication links/networks;
- to improve the access by the scientific community to EU mechanisms for support to global change research.
ENRICH will achieve its objectives mainly by following three fundamental principles underpinning its concept. These are: improvement of communication, collaboration and coordination with the aim to increase synergy and coherence; promotion of partnership; and, promotion of capacity building in the geographical regions concerned.
