ERA-LEARN & NETWATCH: 2 parallel FP7 initiatives ERA-LEARN: ERA-LEARN 2: NETWATCH:  NETWATCH (JRC-IPTS): focus on database & analysis  ERA-LEARN: focus on enabling mutual learning  ERA-LEARN material is published through the NETWATCH portal

ERA-LEARN Objectives  to help reduce wasteful use of resources  to support the implementation of streamlined mechanisms and increased mutual learning  to provide tools for analysis of network performance  to highlight the synergies between ERA-NETs and other forms of national and regional research programme coordination  to facilitate high-level analysis of policy related issues in the context of programme coordination and cooperation  to support future developments of transnational programme coordination.

ERA-LEARN deliverables Online toolbox: manual for implementation of joint calls to provide practical tools for joint call implementation tools for internal review of participations in ERA(-NETs) smart coordination - evolution of the ERA(-NET) o to provide an overview of ERA instruments (target groups, implementation, legal structure and funding sources) o analyse complementarities between ERA instruments o analyse trends & experiences with transnational coordination of funding programmes Dissemination and exploitation events publications Analysis of options for future platform (2014+)  to address the needs of the transnational coordination community

The ERA-LEARN toolbox: Smart Coordination: ERA instruments (updated November 2013)  Thematic clustering of ERA initiatives: Are we aware of all initiatives in a certain thematic area ? What can we learn from them? Who is involved ?  Positioning of the ERA-NET scheme in the context of other ERA instruments and other initiatives  Criteria and indicators for the assessment of coordination-instruments and intergovernmental European networks  Inventory of ERA instruments 

A future support platform 2014+: ERA-LEARN Analysis of Options  Identify main stakeholders and their needs for  Identify strategic and technical options to address these needs  Assess the relative merits of each option  Develop specification for the most appropriate option  Develop a practical implementation plan (including transition)

A future support platform: ERA-LEARN Analysis of Options Assessment of User Needs (2012)  high demand for guidance & information

Outlook 2014+: INSO 8 – 2014: Towards joint programming under Horizon 2020 ERA-LEARN: ERA-LEARN 2: NETWATCH: 2009 – 2014  merge ERA-LEARN and NETWATCH

Outlook 2014+: INSO 8 – 2014: Towards joint programming under Horizon 2020  Development and implementation of a user-led 'information, learning and support platform' for Public-Public Partnerships.  Optimising modalities and implementation of P2Ps  to attract & mobilise the RTD community  to achieve critical mass  to execute transnational calls up to the state of the art with user-friendly designs efficient processes minimised administrative burden for everyone adequate management structures flexibility transparency  to facilitate the exploitation of excellent output The communities for ERA-NETs, JPIs, and other ERA instruments are largely overlapping  we can benefit from substantial experience during recent years.
