ERAC ad-hoc working group on the European Semester and on Monitoring ERA(main messages) Krzysztof GULDA on behalf of Ward Ziarko 19th April 2013
Main objectives • Prepare “opinions”, give feed-back and strategic advice on : • The European Semester (“annual growth survey” and other documents) • ERA progress • The development of the Research and innovation observatory • Look into all “qualitative and quantitative evidence” used to monitor these • Contribute to policy learning and debates
The European Semester • Prepare policy debates (opinions) on : • The commissions “Annual growth survey” • The member states “National reform programs” • The commissions “Country specific recommendations” • They allow to monitor strengths and weaknesses of European and national research and innovation policies • Milestones set by the publication dates
ERA Progress • Two strands of work : • Prepare debates on the quality of the monitoring instruments (survey, statistics, NRP’s, other…) • Prepare debates on the policy issues • First dead-line : the ERAC opinion expected on the progress report for this autumn (ad-hoc group meeting in July to prepare this ?)
Research and innovation observatory • The observatory covers a broad range of issues and qualitative and quantitative evidence • ERAC needs to reflect on the policy maker needs regarding the observatory
The way forward • ERAC needs a main debate on the work plan of the ad-hoc group : ad-hoc meeting 12th of june (before the ERAC meeting) ? • Meanwhile -> written comments on both of the documents (workplan and milestones) • In general : back to back meetings with ERAC that reflect on methods, outputs, main milestones (not duplicate the ERAC debates)
Next steps • European Semester : can we agree on the production of a policy input based on an analyses of the NRP’s to be circulated end of May ? • Monitoring ERA : can we agree on an ad-hoc meeting on the evidence that feeds the ERA progress report (end of june ?) in order to prepare the ERAC advice on ERA progress ?
