Periodic Reporting for period 2 - ERA-LEARN (Strengthening partnership programmes in Europe)
Période du rapport: 2020-01-01 au 2021-06-30
The ERA-LEARN consortium builds on and exploits the experiences of the predecessor projects since the consortium
partners were involved in all of these initiatives. ERA-LEARN will:
- focus on increasing the impact of P2Ps and collecting evidence of impacts achieved;
- use a more thematic approach in tackling the challenges identified in P2Ps;
- more closely interact with the P2P community and become more ‘attractive’ while also meeting the needs of P2Ps;
- generate added value for joint programming in Europe going far beyond the state of the art
- realise a common approach to the planning and implementation of joint activities and aligned national and/or regional activities, their monitoring and impact assessment.
It will result in:
- mutual learning and better cooperation practices, enhanced efficiency and effectiveness of the P2P activities, and overcoming of potential barriers and obstacles;
- important indicators on the impacts of P2Ps made available;
- improved alignment of national research policies;
- common tools and approaches, developed by the P2P community, with a view to generate economies of scales;
- sharing of data on transnational projects resulting from the different P2Ps;
- benchmarking opportunities as a result of sharing of data;
- better communication of P2Ps towards their target communities.
Means and instruments to increase impact:
- the ERA-LEARN toolbox and web-based opportunities to share experiences and good practices
- provision of data on P2P networks as well as on transnational projects resulting from different P2Ps;
- continuation of the systematic process for monitoring and impact assessment of P2P networks, including their impacts at the policy, programme and RTD project levels;
- involvement of the entire P2P community by providing space for exchange at thematic level as well as via dedicated workshops, trainings and conferences.

ERA-LEARN is a support platform for the Public-Public-Partnerships (P2P) community. Beside preparing helpful tools like R&I Partnership Evaluation (RIPE) Toolkit, ERA-LEARN operates a unique database of P2P networks, their calls and funded projects and provides studies and analyses on thematic clustering, internationalisation, alignment and much more. ERA-LEARN is also the major source for information concerning European Partnerships under Horizon Europe (https://www.era-learn.eu/partnerships-in-a-nutshell/european-partnerships) and assists in bridging the gap between Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe.
