A new EU and US Initiative was launched
to enhance transatlantic economic integration and growth. Both

More particularly, activities will be
carried on to promote cooperation using civilian space-based
technologies for sustainable development, science/exploration, and
deepening the knowledge society. Targeted initiatives will encourage
collaboration on long-term basic research within the context of the
EU-U.S. Science and Technology agreement, and develop exchanges of good
practices concerning the policies needed to support science and
innovation.
