Abstract: The Joint Action Program is one of the instruments of the Spanish National R&D System, to promote the mobility of scientists as well as co-operation with foreign research centers of prestige. This work aims to evaluate this Joint Action Program, by means of the scientific output resulting from the joint research projects supported during the period 1996 to 1999. The main indicator is the co-authored articles published in international journals. This evaluation takes also into account the consolidation of previous scientific relationships among Spanish and foreign partners, the establishing of new collaborations and the participation of PhD students in the Actions financed. Results from this study allow us to conclude that the Joint Action Program of the Spanish MCYT efficiently promotes the exchange of scientific and technical knowledge and the mobility of researchers.
