The European Commission has been supporting joint research activities relevant to development, including health related research, since 1983, and has recently issued its second call for scientific proposals (EC 1996) within the programme of International Cooperation with Developing Countries (INCO/DC) which has become a broader programme than its predecessor. Health research remains a priority area, together with research on agriculture and the sustainable use of natural resources. The Commission's International Scientific Cooperation Programme is an integral part of the European Union's Fourth Framework Programme on Research. It serves Europe's research policy but it does even more. It is also an instrument to support other European policies, such as development cooperation, external relations and economic cooperation with third countries.
