On the occasion of the recent publication of the European Commission’s publication of the ERA Country Reports, a workshop on the Western Balkans European Research Area reporting was held by the POLICY ANSWERS project on 5 June 2024 in Skopje as part of the Western Balkans Steering Platform meeting on Research and Innovation.
The workshop included a technical session on “ERA Reporting along the ERA Policy Agenda”, a session where two focus groups discussed how to approach Western Balkans challenges with regard to ERA integration and a session about “Strengthening R&I Capacity in the Western Balkans”. The target group of the workshop were Western Balkans policy makers who participated on-site.
The workshop fostered the discussion about the ERA reporting of the Western Balkans amongst the attendees and raised central questions regarding sharing best practices and experiences.
