|
Science Council of Lithuania is a consulting body to the Seimas (Parliament) and the Government in the studies, research and experimental development policy areas. Established in 1991 the Science Council of Lithuania was and still remains an initiator or an evaluator of all the most important legislative proposals in the field of the Lithuanian science and studies system. The main aims of the Council are to seek that this system would efficiently develop studies, scientific research and experimental development projects which are significant to the State economy, social development and international co-operation, and contribute to the creation of intellectual services and scienceoriented high-tech production as well. The Council participates in drafting the legal acts related to Lithuanian science and studies system; considers the drafts of the legal acts in public and submits modifications compiling the view of the academic community. Moreover, the Council presents the proposals on projects of the establishment, reorganisation or liquidation of science and studies institutions, the proposals on the guidelines of their major research activities and the proposals on other issues related to the science and studies system.
Within the frame of its currently running generic programmes focusing the support to innovative research projects, the Science Council of Lithuania has the capability and the willingness to support Nanomedicine activities and projects. In addition the Science Council of Lithuania is preparing a National Research Programme entitled Chronic Noncommunicable Diseases in which investigation and applications of nano methods in medicine are designed. This programme, planned to be approved and established in the coming months will be more suitable to specifically support the Nanomedicine projects that are expected within the frame of the EuroNanoMed ERA-Net initiative. Taking part to this initiative will really help Lithuania in developing best practices in designing and managing programmes in the field, and will highly promote the integration in the European research area, of our national Nanomedicine community of actors.
