MIRA is open to new opportunities for cooperation with existing initiatives and projects which focus on the creation of economic prosperity in the Mediterranean area. In order to provide a strong institutional basis for the EU - MPC Science & Technology cooperation, MIRA develops the following activities :

• Raising awareness with workshops on FP7 opportunities

Mira organises training activities to improve the quality of participation and management of the partners of FP7 from the MPCs. It organizes meetings to monitor and discuss the content of the thematic priorities of FP7 in terms of common interest for the EU and MPCs. Mira has also created an Observatory of the EU - MPC S&T cooperation, using agreed indicators for the monitoring of RTD cooperation activities.

Finally, MIRA is also involved in evaluating the actual information points, training managers, scientists, auditors and other relevant actors as well as promoting seminars of project writing and delivering recommendations for the national authorities.
