About INSPIRING ERA
INSPIRING ERA is a project funded by the Horizon Europe program aimed at breathing new life into the European Research Area (ERA).
Our goal is to raise awareness, share best practices and speed up the adoption of advancements made under the umbrella of the ERA to benefit researchers and citizens across the countries involved.
We work together with EU Member States, Associated Countries, and stakeholders to implement the ERA Actions outlined in the ERA Policy Agenda, in collaboration with the European Commission. Our project focuses on promoting mutual learning, building a strong community of practice, and offering recommendations for policymakers to ensure the effective uptake of ERA Policy Agenda outcomes.
It is important to translate these achievements into action so that the vision of a fully functioning ERA, where researchers, institutions and innovators can move freely and collaborate across borders, becomes a reality.
Our objectives
- Support and promote the successful implementation of the ERA Policy Agenda
- Share findings and insights from ERA Actions with a wider audience
- Foster mutual learning and cooperation within a community of practitioners
-
Our focus for 2024
