Facts & Figures

ERA-LEARN, in conjunction with the European Commission, seeks to continually update our information and statistics in relation to the R&I partnership landscape, which includes joint transnational calls and funded projects. These are presented in our Annual Report each year, with additional facts and figures provided here on our website, which we hope you find both useful and of interest.

The 2019 annual report, in addition to providing an updated picture of the evolving R&I partnership landscape, highlights examples of good practice from networks across the community as they seek to address specific challenges related to widening, multilateral collaboration, knowledge transfer and sustainability, among others. It also demonstrates the wider achievements of some long standing partnerships as well as introducing newer programmes that are beginning to implement joint calls and other activities.

The report also provides an overview of the steps that have taken place over the last year in bringing the ambitions of the next generation of partnerships to a new level and provides some information on monitoring and evaluation of European Partnerships in Horizon Europe.
