ERA-LEARN Workshop Report 28 February 2013 Dublin

Analysis of Options for Future Platform: results of a survey among stakeholders (carried out late 2012)

This ERA-LEARN newsletter is a Special Edition issued for the Joint Programming Conference, Dublin, Ireland in February 2013.

The NETWATCH on-line platform collects information in support of analysis of transnational research programme cooperation. Its content centres on ERA-NETs and ERA-NET Plus, however, information is also collected on Article 185s and networks that continue but no longer receive EU support (known as self-sustaining networks). The information collected is used to map and monitor the transnational research programme landscape and to produce policy briefs on issues pertinent to the policy debate, which are also published on the platform.

This report constitutes the first NETWATCH impact assessment and focuses on ERA-NETs and the development of an approach to assess their impact against the policy goals, including wider European Research Area (ERA) objectives.

The objective was to define analyzing questionnaires for the assessment of funded projects. The assessment is to be performed annually on projects that have been completed, including projects funded under previous ERA-NETs (MATERA and MNT-ERA.NET). This assessment should complement national/regional efforts and its results should contribute to the annual assessment of work programmes.

This newsletter contains information about ERA-NETs under Horizon 2020, results of a user survey about future platform options, it features information on selected ERA-NETs and many more.

NETWATCH Policy Briefs aim to contribute to the current policy debate on R&D programme transnational cooperation by presenting findings, based on NETWATCH analytical work, in the policy arena at European level. The target audience is EU policy officials and national policymakers, as well as fora such as the High Level Group on Joint Programming in Research (GPC).

This newsletter contains information on the ERA-LEARN workshops held in November 2011. It also contains news on newly funded ERA-NETs, the PLATFORM project, and Horizon 2020 developments.

The Workshop at the side of the Annual Joint Programming Event 2011 addressed experienced ERA-NET workers interested in the experiences of Member States and Associated Countries with the ERA-NET instrument.

First biannual ERA-LEARN newsletter, where we bring you news and updates on ERA-LEARN and related ERA-NET activities.

This Communication paper aims to increase visibility of the ERA-NET achievements, and capitalise the knowledge and experience drawing upon useful lessons learnt and success factors not only from the ERA-NETs but also the other coordinating instruments.
