 support the European economy towards societal and technological
challenges of the 21st century;
 multi-annual policy for strategic programming of joint activities, allowing a
flexible coverage of topics;
 annual joint calls including 1 cofunded call with EU top-up;
 mobilise substantial national and regional public funding;
 emphasize low carbon energy technologies
 cooperation with appropriate partners world-wide to facilitate access for the
European RTD community to leading knowledge worldwide;
 strengthen a long term cooperation between funding organisations.

target group
 to represent industry and academic research, providing comprehensive
overview on needs and possibilities at European, national and regional levels in
order to identify gaps and opportunities;
 to analyse national/regional priorities provided by the M-ERA.NET
consortium;
 to analyse up-to-date status and foreseen development of European
strategies;
 to analyse results from M-ERA.NET calls
Experts suggested by all M-ERA.NET partners and selected according to defined
criteria (expertise, academic/industrial background, country, gender, ..);
The composition of this group is flexible in order to react to changing
environments and emerging challenges.

Methodology
The annual work programmes will be assessed by analysing defined indicators in 3
main categories:
a) Budgetary commitments
b) Benefit for networking of programmes and agencies at national level
c) Added value for the target group compared to alternative funding instruments
Methodology
The funded projects are assessed via questionnaires to all parties in funded projects
1) directly after the completion of the projects
2) 3 years after the end of the projects.
Success is measured by:
• a) Technical results
c) Economic effects
• b) Scientific results
d) Transnational benefit
