TRANSNATIONAL NETWORK OF NATIONAL CONTACT POINTS (NCPS) FOR WIDENING PARTICIPATION AND STRENGTHENING THE EUROPEAN RESEARCH AREA

Project description

DEENESFRITPL

Building National Contact Points for stronger ERA participation

Gaining access to funding opportunities under the EU’s Framework Programme is not easy for inexperienced, low-performing Member States and Associated Countries. The EU-funded NCP_WIDERA.NET project will develop and advance National Contact Points (NCPs) so that these states and countries get the support they need. NCP_WIDERA.NET will help Member States’ and Associated Countries’ legal entities enhance their proposals, bolstering the European Research Area and Pillar II actions, and it will expand international networking and collaboration. The project will also tackle issues affecting gender equality and open science via its NCPs.

Objective

NCP_WIDERA.NET aims at support the capacity and effectiveness of WIDERA National Contact Points with a special attention to less experienced entities in low performing Member States (MS) and Associated Countries (AC) to bridge the knowledge gaps to enhance access to funding possibilities under the Framework Programme. Through strengthening and enhancing the role of the NCPs, the project shall support international networking and coordination, as well as improve the quality of proposals from legal entities from low R&I performing MS and AC providing them with better access to services during the application process in particular with regard to Widening Participation and Strengthening the European Research Area, as well as Pillar II actions. NCP_WIDERA.NET will focus on identifying and sharing good practices within NCP community and raising standards of support offered by NCPs to the applicants, taking into account the diversity of actors that constitutes both the Widening and ERA parts. Moreover, this project will equip the transnational network of NCPs to be in a better position to effectively address cross-cutting objectives such as gender equality and open science.
