The European Metrology Research Programme (EMRP), which was launched under the Article 185 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, is a strategic, multi-annual joint research programme that was established amongst the 23 members of the European Association of National Metrology Institutes (EURAMET). The Programme promotes alignment amongst European metrology institutes through the submission of joint research project proposals and associated grant schemes for researchers.

This case study examines the key features, outputs and overall strengths and limitations of the ‘European Energy Research Alliance’ (EERA) as a mean to support institutional alignment. The objective of EERA is to coordinate research activities in the field of energy. EERA brings together over 175 research organisations from 28 countries. EERA demonstrates how a network of research organisations can turn in a professional and ambitious network over time, launching activities and reaching alignment on all levels of the research programming cycle (research strategy, research funding, research implementation, mobility of researchers, dissemination). The EERA case provides lessons how to develop and support institutional alignment to coordinators of P2Ps, scientific directors of research performing organisations, coordinators of national research programmes at RTDI ministries and research funding organisations and policy makers at European Commission.

Report of the GPC Implementation Group 3 ‟Monitoring and evaluating JPIsˮ

The GPC Working Group on the Long Term Strategy of Joint Programming (WG) shall have the
objective to

• advise the GPC on addressing the long-term recommendations included in the "Evaluation of
  Joint Programming to Address Grand Societal Challenges" - Final Report of the Expert Group
  chaired by Mr Juan Tomas Hernani (the "Hernani report");
• on request of the GPC, take effective action in implementing those recommendations and
• support the JPIs in developing and presenting their long term strategies and commitments, in
  particular in the context of the preparation of the next FP.

The Knowledge Hub for Modelling European Agriculture with Climate Change for Food Security (MACSUR) was launched by the Joint Programming Initiative on Agriculture, Food Security and Climate Change (FACCE-JPI). It is a network of 300 European researchers from 18 European countries who aim to advance the science of modelling and assessment of the impacts of climate variability and change on regional farming systems and food production in Europe. Besides networking amongst researchers, the MACSUR Knowledge Hub also allows for capacity building and the conduct of new research coordinated at trans-national level.

The lectures were held at the ERA-LEARN 2020 Workshop on evaluation and impact assessment of P2Ps

Agenda of the ERA-LEARN 2020 Workshop on evaluation and impact assessment of P2Ps

ERA-LEARN presents a global list of criteria for network assessment based on review of international policy reports; review of international academic literature; analysis of national involvement; and analysis of agency involvement in a core set of shared ERA-NETs. Defining these criteria and testing the initial model necessitated the construction of a Questionnaire to Programme Managers for use in interviews with network project staff and a set of Instructions To the Strategic Person within the Agency in how to use the model (available for download below).

This alignment mapping exercise builds on an online survey that was formulated by the GPC implementation group for alignment and improved interoperability, in communication with GPC and the JPIs. The survey was open June to September, 2015 and 22 completed questionnaires were collected. One submission was accepted per GPC member or observer country.

Slovak presidency presentation for the High Level Group for Joint Programming (GPC) Meeting on 29 April 2016.

The GPC implementation group for alignment and improved interoperability, IG2, was given the task to ”develop strategies, instruments and methods to boost alignment from both the Joint Programming Initiative (JPI) and the member/associated states (MS) side with input from JPIs, MS, the European Commission (EC) and other stakeholders”. The work is based on the GPC alignment working group report from 2014 and focuses on the governance from the side of the member/associated states. National alignment is a precursor to effective cooperation at the European level. Preparing the national system for European partnerships is also a key factor for less frequently represented countries to be able to join additional JPIs.

Summary presentation on "ERA-NET Cofund in Horizon 2020" by the European Commission.

The requirement to provide an independent observer’s report on the evaluation is mandatory for all EU co-funded joint calls including FP7 ERANET Plus projects, joint calls implemented under Article 185 initiatives and the main [co-funded] joint call of Horizon 2020 ERA-NET Co-fund projects.
