Industrialised Countries Cooperation Instrument (ICI)

Thanks to the Instrument for Cooperation with Industrialized Countries (ICI) 172 million euro is to be earmarked for financial, technical and other forms of cooperation between the EU (e.g. research, science and technology, energy, transport and environment, social problems, etc.) and Australia, Bahrain, Brunei, Canada, Chinese Taipei, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Macao, New Zealand, Kuwait, Qatar, Singapore, United Arab Emirates and the United States of America. ICI funded actions can also aim at increasing the EU’s visibility in those countries.
