An NRC ad hoc committee analyzed the current status and future development potential of Armenia's science and technology base, including human and infrastructural resources and research and educational capabilities. The committee identified those fields and institutions offering promising opportunities for contributing to economic and social development, and particularly institutions having unique and important capabilities, worthy of support from international financial institutions, private investment sources, and the Armenian and U.S. governments. The scope of the study included both pure and applied research as well as education in science-related fields. The committee's report addresses the existing capacity of state and private research institutions, higher education capabilities and trends, scientific funding sources, innovative investment models, relevant success stories, factors hindering development of the science sector, potential domestic Armenian customers for scientific results and products, and opportunities for regional scientific collaboration. An Armenian language version of the report is also available.

The Horizon 2020 Policy Support Facility (PSF), set up by the Directorate-General for Research and Innovation (DG RTD) of the European Commission under the EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation, supports Member States and countries associated to Horizon 2020 in reforming their national science, technology and innovation systems. The aim of the PSF Specific Support for Armenia, carried out by a panel of independent European research and innovation policy experts from April 2019 to February 2020, was to assist in reforming and reinforcing the performance of the Armenian research institutions and enhancing cooperation between higher education and research institutions. Drawing on the experience of other EU and associated countries, notably the Baltic States, the PSF team developed 19 recommendations and a roadmap for their implementation covering three main topics: - A proposal for research evaluation arrangements and the launch of a first national level evaluation of publicly funded research institutions; - Design of a performance-based funding system and advice on future implementation; and - Development of a set of policy measures aimed at bridging the gap between higher education and research institutes, and notably supporting a shift towards research-based education in universities.

The present report contributes to the European Commission's commitment of bringing the EU and its neighbours closer. The EU's European Neighbourhood Policy was launched in 2004 to help the EU support and foster stability, security and prosperity in its closest neighbourhood, and it governs the EU's relations with 16 of its closest Eastern and Southern Neighbours. The EU is committed to supporting the economic development of its partner countries. Technology transfer represents a central area where distinct sections of society including academia, private research, government and public and private enterprises interface with one another to improve the overall economic and social conditions for those involved and the communities around them. By investing in the facilitation of technology transfer, governments can direct policy and funds to ensure the greatest outcome for society. With this process in mind, the ultimate objective of the present study is to inform policymaking in technology transfer and build stronger cooperation between the EU and its Eastern and Southern neighbours.

Increasing interest in lightweight and high-performance materials is leading to significant research activity in the area of polymers and composites. One recent focus is to develop multifunctional materials that have more than one property tailored as to the specified design requirements, in addition to achieving low density. The possibility of simultaneously tailoring several desired properties is attractive but very challenging, and it requires significant advancement in the science and technology of high-performance functional polymers and composites. This volume presents a selection of new approaches in the field of composites and nanomaterials, polymer synthesis and applications, and materials and their properties. Some composites/nanocomposites and interfaces are explored as well, some with medical applications. The authors also look at simulations and modeling, synthesis involving photochemistry, self-assembled hydrogels, and sol-gel processing.
