The initiative aims to establish a legal framework to strengthen collaboration between the Spanish and Polish scientific communities, and comes after months of negotiations between both institutions.

The AEI continues to expand its network of bilateral agreements with counterpart agencies from other European countries and beyond the Union, including the United States National Science Foundation (NSF), the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC), Brazil's National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq), Taiwan's National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) and the Philippine Council for Industry, Energy and Emerging Technology Research and Development (DOST-PCIEERD).
