5/23 Prevalence of enablers

Important enablers
![Page 13: SAFEFOODERA WORKSHOP Food Safety Research Ideas Forum 30 th October 2006 Increasing the Impact of National Research Programmes through Transnational Cooperation](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062618/55149993550346ea6e8b5639/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Strategies based on ‘Objectives’
Development of knowledge-based industries• Corint Programme (Romania) • Industrial PhD (Denmark)• Research and Technology Innovation Fund (Hungary)
Internationalisation (of industry and researchers)• Aide à l’innovation Programme (France) • CIR-CE Programme (Austria)• FinNano Programme (Finland)• ProInno II Programme (Germany) • Torch Programme (China)
Increasing scientific competitiveness• IWT Programmes (Belgium) • NWO Programmes (Netherlands) • RPT Programme (Cyprus)
Addressing societal or environmental challenges• Food Standards Agency (UK)

Conclusions
Design of national programmes• Complex, dynamic landscape• More coordination in basic research• More ‘variable geometry’ in applied/industrial research• Limited sign of landscape alignment
Barriers to international cooperation• Major barriers to opening of national programmes• Policy barriers appear to be most important• Variation between countries and cultures
Strategies to address the barriers• Dependent on the objectives of the programme • Mobility and basic research programmes have more enablers• Interesting differences in enablers across ERA

Stakeholder Issues
![Page 16: SAFEFOODERA WORKSHOP Food Safety Research Ideas Forum 30 th October 2006 Increasing the Impact of National Research Programmes through Transnational Cooperation](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062618/55149993550346ea6e8b5639/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Other Issues
Perception of legal barriersLack of empirical evidence of the benefitsEnablers need to be embedded in designLack of opportunity for ERA networking• ERA-NET is helping but many not involved
Limited transnational design creativity• Most ERA-NETs are taking a simple approach based
on Joint Calls for international R&D projects

Virtual Networking

Other ERA-NET’s
Most are using the virtual common potSome national agencies are involved in multiple ERA-NETs• Mainly TAFTIE members• Promoting the need for harmonised Joint Call
systems, etc• Worried about proliferation and fragmentation
Most (all) have some kind of virtual networking system• Are they effective ????

More ERA creativity needed
Critical Left Brain“I agree that we could
benefit from transnational cooperation and involving foreign researchers but it’s
just too difficult”
Creative Right Brain“How can we
collaborate with similar programmes in other
countries to our mutual advantage”
