Combating neurodegenerative diseases JPI (‘Alzheimer’)
Definition of a comprehensive general programme (basic research/clinical research/health care and Social research)
Still far from the market
Towards an Article 185.
Regular calls for projects or new initiatives such as joint trans-national calls for proposals will be launched.
A Management Board made up by national representatives (member of a research ministry, the director or senior executive of a research agency or a national council ) is in charge of the coherence of the funding research project aligned with the Strategic research agenda
SET-Plan EERA :
JP activities related to the general themes defined by the SET Plan
Broad spectrum from basic to pre-market research programmes
Alternative way based on Mission oriented PROs (Public Research Organisations).
Reciprocal opening of programmes and facilities.
Characterised by a great flexibility.
Activities financed on partners own ressources, so far.

13. From Projects to Programmes and to Demonstration
Programming is:
- putting COHERENCE between projects
- Coherence between national, regional & EC RDI policies
- a dialogue: innovation push & market pull
- managing and sharing RISKS
- driving research to SOLVE capability gaps
EU added value: new funding scheme to share programme lines, research plants, to pool ressources and staff between the members of the Alliance, but also to give access to the programme, to open the infrastructures for any other research organizations, universities, industries.

14. Structure further the COOPERATION specific program
Present EU RDI organization
lacks an essential
vehicle of coherence :
Alliances of PROs
Teams of Excellence Exploring new routes
Demonstration under Industry Lead
Joint Programming by Alliance between Public Research Institutes
