It will further enhance the coordination of bilateral R&D cooperation with WBC. By joining forces and by pooling financial resources, the SEE-ERA.NET PLUS consortium will bring critical mass to bear. The main objective of SEE-ERA.NET PLUS is to launch and implement one joint call for trans-national research proposals (JERPs). With a call budget of EURO 3.5 Mio, it is planned to fund approximatly 23 trans-national research projects in the SEE-region. Specific scientific priorities will be chosen for the scope of the call, based on the regional collaboration needs of the participating countries and considering the priorities of the 7th EU Framework Programme on Research and Technological Development and Demonstration (FP7). The JERPs are selected through an independently peer review process. A final comprehensive review will assess the impact of the call and the results at European level. Three reports on the impact of the call, on policy recommendations for future cooperation and on the institutional sustainability of the SEE-ERA.NET PLUS consortium will be prepared and widely disseminated."
