Non-traditional duties also include supporting and carrying out scientific research such as collecting water samples to determine salmon migration patterns, testing the atmosphere for an Environment Canada greenhouse project and hosting research students studying local plant life.

This proposal explicitly lists the elements that should be contained in the hosting agreement. They are the title and purpose of the research project, the confirmation of the researcher that he or she undertakes to complete the research project, the confirmation of the organisation that it hosts the researcher so that he or she can complete the research project, the start and end date of the research project, information on the legal relationship between the research organization and the researcher and information on the working conditions of the researcher.

COMMISSION COMMUNICATION ON PERSPECTIVES FOR INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION IN THE FIELD OF RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT - COUNCIL RESOLUTION Following the discussions which have taken place on the Commission's communication on perspectives for international cooperation in research and technological development, both in CREST and in the Permanent Representatives Committee, the Council adopted the following resolution : "THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, Having examined the Commission communication of 20 October 1995 on Perspectives for International Cooperation in the field of RTD, and in the light of the opinion of the Scientific ...[+++]and Technical Research Committee (CREST), (1) ENDORSES the five overall objectives for future Community policy further to strengthen and increase cooperation in RTD with third countries, as follows: - strengthen European competitiveness and develop technologies for future markets; - develop partnership in science and technology, in particular with third countries of strategic interest to the Community; - share responsibility and conduct RTD on economic and social challenges; - promote RTD relevant to the needs and priorities of developing countries for fostering their sustainable growth; - share ST information and contribute to large scale and frontier science and technology (2) EMPHASIZES that cooperation with third countries in the field of RTD should continue to be based on the following principles: subsidiarity; mutual benefit; consistency with other Community policies, in particular the Union's external policies; efficiency and quality (3) UNDERLINES the need for a differentiation in approach between the different third country partners for economic, political and geographical reasons.

The European Community runs various activities in the different sectors concerned as part of its numerous research cooperation programmes: Brite/Euram (industrial and material technologies); Mast (marine sciences and technology); and research programmes in the fields of the environment, fisheries and energy, etc. 1 The press file for the conference can be had from office BREY 6/41. - 2 - The conference will provide an opportunity for taking stock of the state of progress and initial results of a number of projects currently under wa ...[+++]y: projects to develop composite materials for offshore platforms and to apply computer assisted design methods to shipbuilding (Brite/Euram programme); projects to study the natural variability of and changes in benthic ecosystems (fauna and flora connected with the seabed) (Mast programme); "Eros 2000" project to study pollution at river mouths; study of eutrophication (pollution due to algae) of coastal waters (Environment programme); development of systems to optimize shipping routes (pilot projects in the field of energy); activities of the Joint Research Centre on the study of the sea by remote sensing, etc.
