ERA-LEARN and the European Commission will co-organise the third European Partnership Stakeholder Forum on 4 and 5 December 2024 in Brussels under the title “20 years of European Partnerships: Reflecting on the past – Shaping the Future”. The event brings together the community of co-funded, co-programmed and institutionalised partnerships and their stakeholders. The Forum in 2024 will highlight the achievements of the European Partnerships, while also addressing important challenges and strategic discussions on the way to the 10th Framework Programme.
2024 marks the twentieth anniversary of the launch of the first partnerships, the so-called ERA-NETs back in FP6. For the last two decades, these partnerships have contributed significantly to the development of the ERA. They have managed to mobilise and connect substantive resources across Europe to address common challenges both in the societal and economic realm. A great deal has been achieved, especially in terms of enhancing transnational collaboration in research and mobilising national resources. Partnerships play a vital role in both responding to urgent needs as well as the EU strategic goals.
While implementation challenges are identified and efforts are oriented towards solving those, the next Framework Programme is at our doorstep. What is certain is that in the challenging future that lays ahead of us, the European Partnerships and the spirit of trust and collaboration they have been achieving is an effective means of addressing the challenges that cross our national borders and the strategic goals of the EU.
The Forum is expected to attract over 250 participants from European Partnerships, from national and regional governments, public funding agencies, the private sector and other R&I policy makers involved in the design and implementation of European Partnerships.
