본 과제는, 지난 2013년 11월 벨기에(브뤼셀)에 설치한 현지 R&D 협력 거점인 KERC(Korea-EU Research Centre, 한-EU 연구협력센터)의 운영과 활동을 지원하기 위한 사업으로 추진되었다. KERC는 지난 3년간 한-EU 및 한-유럽간 R&D 협력을 진흥하기 위해 다음의 5가지 부문별 운영과 활동을 전개하였다.
1) Management : KERC의 고유기능을 효과적, 효율적으로 수행하고자 전문성과 인지도 제고를 모색하는 등 협력활동 고도화를 위한 인프라를 강화하였다.
2) Info. Shari

1) Management : KERC의 고유기능을 효과적, 효율적으로 수행하고자 전문성과 인지도 제고를 모색하는 등 협력활동 고도화를 위한 인프라를 강화하였다.
2) Info. Sharing : 기존 공급자 중심의 정보 조사와 제공에서 탈피하여, 협력 수요를 체계적으로 파악하고 이에 기반한 정보 조사, 분석, 공유 활동을 도모하였다.
3) Networking : KERC는 다각적인 네트워킹 활동을 추진하는 동시에 네트워킹 활동의 질적 변화를 도모하였다. 즉, 참여 중심의(membership) 네트워킹을 넘어 우리가 주도하는(leadership) 네트워크 구축을 이루었다.
4) Path-finding : 국내 R&D의 한계를 극복하기 위한 새로운 경로를 개척하고자 노력한 바, 국내 연구자들의 진출기회 마련, 유럽 한인 과학자들과의 실질적인 연계, 국내 현안 및 이슈에 대한 현지 거점으로서의 적극적 대응 등을 추진하였다.
5) Facilitating : 한-EU/유럽 협력 플랫폼으로서 다양한 협력 촉진 활동을 전개하였을 뿐 아니라, 정부간 정책 대화와 관련하여 의제 발굴과 대표단 참여 등의 활동을 수행하였다.

- Improved the general management infrastructure to run the organization with more effectiveness, efficiency and stability. 
❑ Strengthened its role of knowledge and information hub for the Korea-EU/Europe cooperation
- Demand-driven activities to provide useful and accessible information to researchers.
- Stabilized the regular monitoring system on R&D and policy trends for the two-way information offering between Korea and Europe.
❑ Established Korea-EU collaborative partnership through networking activities
- Took initiatives to launch a multilateral cooperative body, as well as organizing its activities.
- Played an active role in the cooperation with main agencies of EU : DG R&I, ERC, EURAXESS.
❑ Promoted the environment facilitating career development of Korean researchers in Europe and the globalisation of R&D
- Provided knowledge and information on career development in Europe to young Korean researchers
- Analyzed national issues regarding Korea-EU R&D cooperation, contributed to set up global measures for the national agendas(materials/devices/equipments, COVID-19, etc).
❑ Diversified activities to enhance Korea-EU/Europe cooperation
- Played the role of contact point to support activities of partnering and match-making for researchers, and supported inter-governmental dialogues.

□ Expected Contribution
❑ Broaden the opportunities to make use of abundant R&D resources in Europe, such as researchers, facilities, global research institutions, programmes, through the vitalization of Korea-EU/Europe cooperation
❑ Promote multilateral collaboration with EU by means of networking, partnering, information gathering and offering
- Extend the pool of international R&D cooperation partners for Korean researchers, which has been formed mainly by researchers in United states, China and Japan.
※ It must be noted that the cooperation with the EU can lead to next cooperation with its 27 member states and associated countries.
