First Impressions • Grids most times somehow a crosscutting issue; most not specialised on grid issue • Depth of participation of Grid Companies, Suppliers, Technology Providers etc. different in the programmes • Different programme strategies • Similarities, Common goals possible • Critical Mass for an ERA-Net
Joint/common calls • (fixed for 2005/2006 to 10/05) 32 % all 4 • Joint activities 3 all • Common strategic issues 2 all • Information exchange • & best practices 1 Level of Ambition Selected CA projects, to 10/05
To keep in Mind: • ERA-Net is on Programming. (Goals, Strategies, linked to national policies) pulling together research strategies, coordinating national programmes….. to support the european Vision • not a scientific issue • not an issue of member states positions • not an issue of finding “the european solution”
How to reach Integration Policy making: Thematic focus Policy design: Procedural and functional focus Management: Focus on Implementation -> WHEN? operational phase -> WHAT? Assessment phase -> HOW? Design phase WHY? potential for added-value WHY? added-value likely Stop or Go decision Trial and Error Interest Trust Commitment
Lessons learned • The basis is the concrete interest of the programmes (strategies, focus at the moment, upcoming projects) • Early start of common actions (inkl. Common calls) • Learning by doing (the devil is in the detail) • In the first step: no need for harmonisation of national rules (principle: “each country finances its institutions”) • But clear agreements on common elements (eg. Common Call: joint guidelines, common evaluation procedures and experts, joint approval, ….)

Next Steps • Overview about involved Programmes and Ministries, personal and institutional links to MG, IEA-ENARD • Invitation for an ERA-Net preparation Meeting open for all interested nat. programme carriers (Funding Agencies, Ministries, Prog. Managers); first discussion of a draft proposal
