Governance The Networks at EU level operate under a single governance structure (Principles). • Ensuring coordination and synergies: same legal basis and basic structures for 2 networks functions (ENRD, EIP) • Broad inclusiveness: The core group: a network assembly should include all main RD stakeholders, including research institutes and advisory services. • Flexibility and better targeting: there should be more possibilities to form different sub-groups (e.g. for Leader, evaluation, innovation etc.) with different focus. • The steering of the networks should be separated from the content driven groups.
Network at EU-level ENRD Tasks
NRN -> EU Networks Cooperation with ENRD and EIP: • Participation at meetings and exchanges at EU level, • Input into planning at EU level, • Providing examples of projects and good practices (relevant experiences) in the implementation of RD policy, • Providing information for network statistics, • Contribution to thematic work (both through providing content input and providing participants to meetings at EU or regional cluster level).
