Main activities and results of the project:
• The ERA-LEARN 2020 portal www.era-learn.eu was set up and finally launched in July 2015. Following the feedback from different P2P-stakeholders and the ERA-LEARN Advisory Board the ERA-LEARN 2020 portal was restructured and modernized in 2018.
• ERA-LEARN contributed to GPC Implementation Groups on Framework Conditions (IGI), Alignment (IG2) and Assessment (IG3) and participated in activites of the JPI Task Force on Monitoring & Evaluation during 2017-2018.
• ERA-LEARN elaborated good practice case studies on 1) evaluation activities among JPIs and 2) internationalisation activities of JPIs. The case studies were presented in the annual report on good practices in the implementation of JPIs of 2017 and 2018. The annual summary report 2018 also comprises a short summary on all case studies performed during the period of the project. Furthermore a policy brief on Stakeholder Engagement was developed and JPI-tailored workshops, concentrating on the topics of alignment and the future of joint activities, were held.
• A systematic process for the monitoring & impact assessment of P2P networks at several levels was elaborated. Three annual reports on P2P Partnerships were prepared, a policy brief on Impact Assessment of Networks was developed and a workshop on evaluation and impact assessment of P2Ps was held. A reference library was elaborated with examples of indicators, impact assessment frameworks and impact assessment reports that have been produced by some of the more mature P2P networks. The Impact Assessment exercises carried out in 2016 and 2017 resulted in the ‘Update Report on the impacts of networks 2016’ and the ‘Policy Brief on Perceived impacts of P2P supported projects’. The Pilot project level impact assessment led to a ‘Strategy for Full-Scale Implementation of Project-Level Impact Assessment’ and initial implementation of the strategy. Furthermore the Guide for P2P impact assessment was finalised.
• ERA-LEARN assessed the current approaches to alignment developed a typology of alignment. This was followed by the production of more detailed learning publications including 23 case studies on the alignment of national strategies and programmes within the P2P community, a Toolbox of Current and Novel Alignment Modalities, a Report on Alignment at trans-regional level, and a SWOT analysise of the alignment modalities. Furthermore, several Alinment Workshops were organised (2015, 2016, 2017),
• Three Annual Joint Programming Conferences were organised (January 2016, November 2016 and November 2017).
• Seven ERA-LEARN 2020 newsletters were published.
• Three training workshops on the implementation of ERA-NET Cofund (2015, 2016, 2017) as well as three Training courses on the application of foresight-processes for trans-national coordination of strategic research and innovation (2016, 2017, 2018) were organised.
• A concept concerning branding of P2P was elaborated.
