International cooperation should aim to strengthen the Union's research and innovation excellence, attractiveness and economic and industrial competitiveness, to tackle global challenges, as embodied in the UN SDGs, and to support the Union's external policies and to promote the contribution of science to achieving the SDGs. The alignment of research priorities with the SDGs will facilitate the development of appropriate metrics to measure impact on all dimensions of sustainable development, including human development. An approach of general opening for international participation and targeted international cooperation actions including science capacity should be followed, including through appropriate eligibility for funding of entities established in low to middle income countries. At the same time, association of third countries to the Programme should be promoted, recognising the need for an enabling policy regulatory environment. This will facilitate European researchers to engage with the best researchers in their field.

(26) With the aim of deepening the relationship between science and society and maximising benefits of their interactions, the Programme should engage and involve citizens and civil society organisations in co-designing and co- creating responsible research and innovation agendas and contents, promoting science education, making scientific knowledge publicly accessible, and facilitating participation by citizens and civil society organisations in its activities. It should do so across the Programme and through dedicated activities in the part 'Strengthening the European Research Area'. The engagement of citizens and civil society in research and innovation should be coupled with public outreach activities to generate and sustain public support for the Programme. There should be a heavy emphasis on translating the research outcomes in to meaningful, tangible benefits for citizens. The programme should also seek to remove barriers and boost synergies between science, technology, culture and the arts to obtain a new quality of sustainable innovation.
