" Since its launch in 2001, FEAST has defined and promoted a model for international research cooperation facilitation units that have been rolled out on a wider scale by the European Union. As FEAST has evolved it has also informed the evolution of this wider network of international research facilitation bodies. The FEAST Extension, Enhancement and Demonstration (FEED) project marked a significant new phase in this developmental process. It has made significant progress in its aims of defining and demonstrating new, more strategic and policy-related approaches to fostering international research and innovation systems." - page 2 ; Australian National University

In order to provide the Australian research community with best practice advice on engagement with the European Union's Seventh Framework Programme for research and technological development (FP7), FEAST has conducted a comprehensive survey of Australians involved with FP7 project proposals, both successful and unsuccessful. These interviews enable FEAST to present robust evidence of successful strategies and tactics, and practical advice on how to engage with FP7. Alongside this publication, FEAST has discussed, and will continue to discuss, the results and issues raised during this survey with researchers, research managers, and policy makers.

"The FEAST/UQ Symposium 20115 presented various figures and trends demonstrating an increase in the rate of the internationalisation of research across developed and emerging economies. By any standard, these results show a wealth of international collaborations between scientists having little or no problem conducting collaborative, and indeed interoperable, research. However these results also show the tempo of change has accelerated for both the increasing trends such as the rise of China and for the downward trends, especially during post-global financial crisis (GFC) recovery of most western nations. In this context, our global research machine is becoming more costly, mottled, risky, clumsy, and is under increasing political and community pressures to deliver tangible results. This paper examines the challenges hampering interoperability on a variety of levels – governments, funding and researcher mobility – and describes opportunities for improving these systems to allow for more effective global research. This is the second Discussion Paper that reports on the deliberations of the recent FEAST/UQ Symposium 2011: Enhancing interoperability in the emerging global research order." - page 2 ; Australian National University

This paper presents the initial findings from an exploratory bibliometric analysis of Australia's international collaboration in science and technology. This paper is focusses on: (a) Assessing the methodological challenges faced in comprehensively mapping Australia's science and technology research activity from an international engagement perspective; (b) Suggesting solutions to these challenges; (c) Providing some policy-relevant findings of potential use to the Australian Government and the European Commission.
