Links between academia, the public and private sector, and civil society will be strengthened to ensure that the results of research and innovation (R&I) are readily accessible and effectively disseminated, exploited and used. A research ecosystems will be created with actors who are active upstream (identification of R&I needs and development of solutions) as well as downstream (economic exploitation and application of solutions) taking into account national and regional R&I policies.
