The European Union has introduced the WIDERA program (Widening Participation and Strengthening the European Research Area) to bolster research engagement in countries slightly below the EU average participation level in funded research. This strategic initiative aims to bridge the research gap and encourage collaboration. Scientists with ideas for cross-border projects involving at least two colleagues from EU or other Widening countries can apply for the Twinning funding scheme before the late September deadline. The EU's commitment to enhancing research cooperation shines through in this effort to empower diverse nations in shaping the future of innovation.
