• From April 2014(Walloon Decree 2014, March 12)

These projects are now open for international cooperation :• 1 Walloon company (SME) + 1 International company• 1 Walloon University/Research Center + 1 International University/Research Center • Same advantage for Walloon partners as previous “full walloon” consortium• of course, international partners will not be funded by Walloon administration• First contacts with Aerospace Valley (Toulouse) and Criaq (Quebec) to synchronize the calls
