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.

Mandate of the High Level Group for Joint Programming (GPC).

Summary conclusions of the High Level Group for Joint Programming (GPC) Meeting on 12 February 2016.

M-ERA.NET has an excellent database, with a lot of well selected data compiled from call operation, proposal evaluation, and from beneficiaries during the lifetime of M-ERA.NET. In addition, data is used in this report which was compiled during the operation of M-ERA.NET predecessors MATERA and MNT-ERA.NET, or displayed in their final assessment reports.1 Furthermore, a SWOT workshop and two web surveys – directed at M-ERA.NET work members and at beneficiaries and proposers – were performed to complete the data base for this assessment. Main findings of the evaluation and practical insight are summarised in the following.
