Final Report Summary - SEE-ERA.NET PLUS (Further integrating key research institutions from Southeast Europe into the European Research Area)
SEE-ERA.NET PLUS is a project co-funded by the European Community’s Capacities Programme on International Cooperation under the 7th Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development (2007-2013). The project represents the next step in further integrating the West Balkan Countries (WBC) and its key research communities into the European Research Area. The project is based on the forerunner project SEE-ERA.NET. It enhanced the coordination of bilateral R&D cooperation with the WBCs, upgrading it to a European level. By joining forces and by pooling financial resources the project consortium brought critical mass to bear. The consortium consisted of seventeen partners from fourteen countries including all the South Eastern European (SEE) countries and its relevant R&D program owners - ministries or agencies responsible for science, technology and/or research. The project´s lifetime was from April 2009 until July 2013.
The SEE-ERA.NET PLUS contributed to address the following objectives:
• Executing R&D with the WBCs against strategic priorities at European level;
• Assuring continued integration of bilateral RTD initiatives into multilateral, jointly agreed, activities with high synergetic impact;
• Reducing duplication of efforts across Europe,
• Strengthening research communities in new member states and WBCs and preparing them for participation in FP7;
• Satisfying the need for R&D cooperation in the SEE region, as proven by the huge interest in the Pilot Joint Call of SEE-ERA.NET.
The overall strategy of the project was the launch of a single call for Joint European Research Projects (JERPs) with a planned call budget of around 3.5 Mio EUR. The impressive final figure of 2.675.000,00 EUR allocated funds testifies the national commitment to the project. Compared to other national funding sources for research collaboration, the SEE-ERA.NET PLUS call budget was the largest amount of money dedicated to one call for project proposals in SEE including all the WBCs. The Funding List requested additional funding of 208.600,00 EUR to be committed by the partners from Croatia, France and Serbia. Eventually 23 projects were funded following the Ranking List provided by the Scientific Council.
The Call supported the development of 2 main themes/thematic areas: ICT and AgroFood. The ICT component dealt with the i) Software systems for learning process management and support and ii) ICT for energy efficiency; whereas the AgroFood component focused on i) the Preservation of indigenous species and traditional food products (in SEE/WBC) and ii) Interdisciplinary field: Land use impact in agriculture on biodiversity.
After the final reports and additional efforts to monitor the project progress during implementation through dedicated surveys as well as the collection of outputs produced in the framework of the funded projects, the work was concluded in time. The spending of JERPs partners reached 2.877,716.92 €
The results from JERPs are very tangible: around 60 publications published in international peer reviewed journals can be clearly attributed to the JERPs as net outputs (on average about two articles in peer reviewed journals in the JERP lifetime). One project already applied for two patent applications, which would not have been possible without the JERP and two further joint patent applications are planned by two other projects. Eight JERPs stated that they applied to other funding schemes during JERP lifetime and overall 16 project proposals were submitted. Eleven databases were created by ten JERPs, only two of them could have been potentially (partly) established without funding from SEE-ERA.NET Plus. Finally, one contribution to standardization (ISO) with international outreach (ISO 17601 Estimation of abundance of selected microbial gene sequences by quantitative realtime PCR from DNA directly extracted from soil) would not have been possible without funding of SEE-ERA.NET Plus. All the above-listed results testify the success of the SEE-ERA.NET Plus project.
Project Context and Objectives:
The SEE-ERA.NET PLUS project coordinates national R&D funding programs, which were managed previously in a bilateral mode. Through a coordinated pooling of previously scattered resources, the consortium made significantly more resources available than it would have been possible via bilateral cooperation agreements. This also results in substantially more funding per research project, making larger-scale research possible than in previous small-scale bilateral projects.
As explained in the previous section, the SEE-ERA.NET PLUS main objective was the launch of a single call for Joint European Research Projects (JERPs) . The planned call budget was of around 3.5 Mio EUR, thus being the largest amount of money dedicated to one call for project proposals in SEE including all the WBCs. The Call was developed after conducting a careful selection of scientific priorities by use of synergies with the WBC-INCO.NET which allowed combining the two goals of enhancing cooperation with the WBCs and fostering scientific excellence.
The funding decision was taken jointly by the steering Board Meeting in Belgrade in June 2010. The Funding List requested additional funding of EURO 208.600,- committed by the partners from Croatia, France and Serbia.
The spending of JERPs partners reached 2.877,716.92 €
23 JERPs projects in total were funded through the SEE-ERA.NET PLUS joint call with 97 funded partners (coordinators + project partners), involving some more non-funded partners. The average size of the JERPs is 5 project partners, varying between three (six JERPs consist of three project partners) and seven project partners (two JERPs) and one project with 11 funded partners involving also a number of non-funded partners in its work. Each research project consortium was obliged to involve at least three teams from different SEE-ERA.NET PLUS countries. Thus, a truly multilateral cooperation was ensured, thereby preparing scientific networks for future cooperation in the EU-Framework programs.
The following is the list of funded JERPs divided by field of action with their reference numbers. For additional information on specific JERPs please visit http://plus.see-era.net.
Field of AgroFood

• Supporting Common RTD actions in WBCs for developing Low Cost and Low Risk ICT based solutions for TPPs Energy Efficiency increasing- ERA93
• Thermal 3D Modelling of Indoor Environments for Saving Energy – ERA14
In order to ensure the high quality research, the following measures were taken:
• Establishment of a Scientific Council, composed of eminent scientists from the participating countries was set up in order to provide support and guarantee scientific excellence concerning the evaluation and selection procedure.
• Introducion of a two step submission procedure of the call, process based on an Expression of Interest (EoI) and the independent review of the handed in EoI in a first step, and the independent evaluation and ranking of the full proposals of the JERPs in a second step. This first step identifies the scientifically best suited EoI for the full proposal round, thereby ensuring the participation of the most suited project partners. The two-step system prevents unsuccessful project applicants to spend much time and effort on preparing a full proposal.
• Organization of a pool of more than 1400 distinguished external evaluators in the relevant scientific disciplines for remote evaluation. Additionally, for the Expressions of Interest, two external evaluators carried out a remote evaluation via an electronic evaluation system. For the Full Proposal round of the call, three evaluators for each proposal were consulted.
• Selection of proposals on scientific excellence as main criterion and following the set selection criteria in the Grant Agreement.
To ensure the successfulness of the project, a number of activities were started to monitor the implementation of the call, the implementation of funded activities and a systematic collection of outputs going beyond the final reports from JERPs were collected. With the surveys and the documentation of result also questions of additionality were addressed. This goes much beyond the rather simple collection of “products” of the JERPS. Beyond that, also the outreach to public was addressed in the inquiries to JERP coordinators. Coordinators were asked to assess the link to society in view of the growing importance of research communication and the dissemination of knowledge in JERPs to the general public or to potential users.
A number of surveys were addressed to funded project partners including a terminal assessment of outputs on project level. A monitoring meeting was held in Vienna in 2012. All coordinators of funded projects attended the meeting. The funded projects were concluded in time.
According to the information provided by the funded projects the following outputs of projects were achieved
Summary of JERP outputs Total No.

Project Results:
In this section we will define the main S&T results/foregrounds produced within the SEE-ERA.NET Plus project. For each of the following results there will be a detailed list of produced outcomes with relevant information:
I)articles published in peer reviewed journals
II) published articles - not peer reviewed
II) publication addressed primarily to scientific audience
III) produced graduation/master thesis
IV) joint patent applications
V) joint applications to other funding schemes during project duration
VI) databases
VII) improved and newly developed products and technologies
All information was provided by the final beneficiaries of the SEE-ERA.NET Plus project, which were the 23 funded JERPs.
JERPs declare to have published over 60 articles in peer reviewed journals. Twelve of them included 50 percent or more researchers from other projects or other university staff not related to the JERP. Seven out of those twelve publications would have been published without the contribution of the JERPs anyway, one would have been delayed significantly, but would have been published as well. Four articles, where JERP authors contributed more than 50 percent, would have been published as well without JERP funding. Therefore around 50 publications published in international peer reviewed journals can be clearly attributed to the JERPs as net outputs. This implies that every JERP published about two articles in peer reviewed journals in the JERP lifetime or when looking from a different point, that every JERP which mentioned that it published articles in peer reviewed journals published nearly three.

Joint patent applications
One project already applied for two patent applications, which would not have been possible without the JERP: “Method and device for detecting defects in magnetic slot closures of ac machines” (only one inventor and one application institution – therefore not a joint patent application) and “Generator-fault-tolerant control for a variable-speed variable-pitch wind turbine” (four inventors listed, one applying institution). Two further joint patent applications are planned by two other projects: “Grape seeds and pomace extract with antifungal effect used in control of mycotoxins development in cerals” (planned application in 2014) and “comfort products based on natural organic fur” (planned joint application in 2015, already registered as a patent at the State Office for Inventions and Marks (OSIM) in Romania (C.B.I. no. – 201100083/02.02.2)). Both of them would not have been possible without the JERP.
Joint applications to other funding schemes during project duration
Eight JERPs stated that they applied to other funding schemes during the JERP´s lifetime and overall 16 project proposals were submitted. Of these 16 proposal, two were rejected, seven were accepted, five are pending and one was successful but the project partners are without funding (only associated partners). One project initiated a research without clear statement of funding (most likely this research is done without additional funding). Four of the 16 project proposals would have not been possible without the JERP. Five applications targeted the 7th framework programme (one of them funded, three still pending and one as associated partner without funding), six a bilateral programme (four of them funded, two still pending), two addressed a COST action (one not funded, the other still pending), one targeted a national scholarship and one an international funding scheme (Agence Universitaire de la Francophonie).
Databases
According to the JERPs' coordinators, eleven databases were created by ten JERPs, only two of them could have been potentially (partly) established without funding from SEE-ERA.NET Plus. Most of them were built for (a broader) scientific community, three also indicated students, three agricultural practitioners/stakeholders/consultants and one industry as a target audience. Six of the databases contain information on plant species, one is a bacterial/yeast database, one deals with the quality of products from sheep and goat milk and one is about robotic 3D scans. It is yet unknown if the databases will be maintained in future.
Improved and newly developed products and technologies
Of the eighteen mentioned products and technologies – developed by eight different JERPS - seven are still in progress or in a trial/testing stage; two are finished but will be further developed. Only two products/technologies (those who would have been developed without the JERP: an open-source framework in Java and a Java neural network framework) are already launched, most out of that result category will be launched in two years, some in one year. Four products are new or improved clones or cultivars from plants and four are cosmetic products based on plant extracts and oils. The other products/technologies cannot be aggregated to a certain group: there is a variety of answers related to dietary supplements, wound salve, application for collecting and analyzing of real-time consumption data on energy and water, functional starter cultures for cheese production, detection tool for defect magnetic stator slot wedges in inverter fed ac machines and fault tolerant control of wind turbines.
There was one contribution to standardization (ISO) with international outreach (ISO 17601 Estimation of abundance of selected microbial gene sequences by quantitative realtime PCR from DNA directly extracted from soil), which would not have been possible without funding of SEE-ERA.NET Plus.
Potential Impact:
During the lifetime of the project several dissemination activities were organized by the project partners and the funded JERPs in order to exploit and circulate the potential impacts and results of the SEE-ERA.NET Plus project. The information was provided directly by the JERPs coordinators. The main dissemination activities are listed below:
• ERA139/ The Banat`s University of Agricultural Science Timisoara, coordinator of the JERP, provided dissemination materials : brochures, CD presentation, folders and invitation, pencil, leaflets, banners on "Strategies for prevention, decontamination and control of mycotoxins from cereals and medicinal plants" during various events. The brochures were prepared by the EUROBIT Publishing Timisoara in 2011.
• ERA133/ Popovix Vranjes and David Cvetanovic from the Faculty of Agriculture Novi Sad prepared conference material and leaflets on the topic “Atlas ovcijih sireva zapadnog Balkana” in 2012
• ERA14/ Andreas Nüchter prepared a press release in 2012 on the topic "Cool mit Hotspots: Jacobs University erstellt thermo-grafisches 3D-Modell der Bremer Innenstadt"
• ERA83/ Juraj Grizelj collaborated in the preparation of a report on the Croatian TV called "Trenutak spoznaje" (the moment of cognition) on April 19th 2012 in order to disseminate the objectives, activities and results of INDI-SHEEP TRADI-CHEESE [http://www.hrt.hr/index.php?id=enz&tx_ttnews[cat]=540&cHash=370ecd75be starting time 5:08]
• ERA83/ VRI-NAGREF produced leaflets for the final conference in 2012 to be distributed to the participants and to sheep-breeders, farmers, cheese makers etc on the sustainable production of traditional cheeses from local sheep milk in the Balkans.
• ERA163/ Sanin Mesic, Svjetlana Zecevic, Maja Kojovic from the ISEMIC project prepared a brochure on the project for Sarajevo Energy Days in 2012
• ERA135/ NAGREF prepared leaflets on « Sideritis – Greek Mountain Tea : Protection and Sustainable Exploitation » in 2012
• ERA135/ The project partners prepared the article “Dramatic abatement of Mountain Tea on Greek mountains” published in the newspaper “KATHIMERINI” in 2012
• ERA163/ Z. Tomsic from the ISEMIC project - Inteligentni informacijski sustav za pracenje i verifikaciju gospodarenja energijom u gradovima (Intelligent information system for monitoring and verification of energy management in cities) prepared a brochure for the conference of energy efficiency and renewable energy sources at Zagreb energy fair and electronic distribution in 2012
Unfortunately it was not possible to complete the template A2 List of dissemination activities of the present report, because the Sesam portal lists only the activities of the actual FP7 project partner. In the case of the SEE.ERA-NET Plus the final dissemination and exploitation results were conducted by the financed JERPs and not by the Project partners.
List of Websites:
The SEE-ERA.NET PLUS developed the following website: http://plus.see-era.net The intention of the website was to provide to project partners, stakeholder and the general public some general information on the project, useful information on the Call for Joint European Research Projects (JERPs) as well as updated information on the ongoing project activities.
