The results of the first meeting of the European Forum provide the basis for further action.
The meeting has been instrumental for this. The proposals address all the stakeholders. All
participants in the Forum are invited to take appropriate initiatives for implementation and to
contribute to this Call for Initiatives. Further actions should result in shared research agendas
between Europe and the South, in a division of tasks and in actual co-operation programmes
and activities in various thematic areas. Proper conditions should be created to achieve these
objectives.
