Objective Developing effective policies and regulation to protect the environment is a fundamental responsibility of all European states. Historically, countries have developed the science necessary to develop and implement environmental protection policy in isolation. This allows great potential for duplication. The SKEP ERA-NET will bring together the key funders of the national research programmes to generate this knowledge. By taking a forward-looking, strategic overview of the research needs of policy and regulation for environmental protection, SKEP will enable effective deployment of research resources across Europe to develop innovative research and meet the EU?s environmental challenges. The creation of a lasting structure for research co-ordination and co-operation between the 14 SKEP partners will provide for effective alignment of national programmes. Sharing good practice and innovation for research management and dissemination will enhance the value of research in meeting the needs of policy makers and those who implement regulation. This will be achieved through an evolving programme of work over 4 years to enable the systematic exchange of information on research programmes and priorities; the development and sharing of good practice in the management and dissemination of research; the identification and analysis of common strategic issues; and the consequent development and implementation of joint innovative research activities; SKEP success measures: *Joint calls for research to support innovation in 2 areas crucial to environmental protection policy-making * Delivery of common understanding of the current and future research priorities necessary to deliver effective environmental protection °More efficient use of research funding in this area - better value for money and greater potential for innovation *Improved management and dissemination of research *Improved environmental protection capability in Europe Programme(s) FP6-COORDINATION - Support for the coordination of activities: specific programme strengthening the foundations of the European Research Area under the Sixth Framework Programme 2002-2006 (FP6) Topic(s) COOR-1.1 - Networking of national or regional programmes or parts of programmes; actors: public authorities, research agencies, open call for proposals (ERA-NETs) Call for proposal ERA-NET/1/CA-SSA See other projects for this call Funding Scheme CA - Coordination action Coordinator ENVIRONMENT AGENCY Address Block 1, government buildings, burghill road, westbury-on-trym Bristol United Kingdom See on map Links Website Opens in new window EU contribution € 0,00 Participants (17) Sort alphabetically Sort by EU Contribution Expand all Collapse all ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY Ireland EU contribution € 0,00 Address Johnstown castle estate Wexford See on map Links Website Opens in new window VLAAMSE OVERHEID - DEPARTEMENT LEEFMILIEU, NATUUR EN ENERGIE Belgium EU contribution € 0,00 Address K. albert-ii laan 20 bus 8 Brussels See on map MINISTERIE VAN VOLKSHUISVESTING, RUIMTELIJKE ORDENING EN MILIEUBEHEER Netherlands EU contribution € 0,00 Address Rijnstraat 8 The hague See on map Links Website Opens in new window MINISTRY OF SCIENCE AND HIGHER EDUCATION Poland EU contribution € 0,00 Address Wspolna 1/3 Warsaw See on map Links Website Opens in new window INSTYTUT OCHRONY SRODOWISKA Poland EU contribution € 0,00 Address Krucza 5/11d Warszawa See on map Links Website Opens in new window SERVICE PUBLIQUE FEDERALE DE PROGRAMMATION POLITIQUE SCIENTIFIQUE Belgium EU contribution € 0,00 Address Rue de la science 8 Brussels See on map Links Website Opens in new window UMWELTBUNDESAMT Germany EU contribution € 0,00 Address Wörlitzer platz 1 06844 dessau- rosslau See on map Links Website Opens in new window AUTORITATEA NATIONALA PENTRU CERCETARE STIINTIFICA Romania EU contribution € 0,00 Address 21-25, mendeleev str.
