Through connecting relevant participles from both cohesion regions we can achieve critical mass needed for the research breakthrough and at the same time ensure for equal regional development. Human resources development area of this tender is complemented by public tender for establishing competence centres for HRD, while the area of internationalisation is planned to be strengthened with public tender for promotion of partnerships for efficient foreign market breakthrough, due to be published later on. Public interest for development-innovation partnerships lays in formation of innovation eco-system at the level of priority areas of S4.
