Aims of the workhop:

• to bring together EU and Mexican projects/initiatives with similar scopes and objectives to favour information exchanges for the mutual benefits of future research activities;
• to identify a limited and focused set of research issues of common interests in the two regions which could form the basis of specific joint research in the various upcoming implementations of the Horizon 2020 research programme.
