in englischer SpracheMit dem RP6 begannen Dutzende ERA-Netzwerke den Europäischen Forschungsraum mitzugestalten. Einige wenige nahmen das Thema der internationalen FTE-Kooperation mit Nicht-EU-Ländern in Angriff (z.B. China, Indien oder den westlichen Balkanländern). Zur Mitte des RP7 sollen die erreichten Fortschritte und aufgetretenen Probleme analysiert und Wege zur Verbesserung der internationalen Dimension von ERA-Netzen zu diskutiert werden. Dabei werden folgende Aspekte angesprochen:
Konnte der erwartete Mehrwert in Bezug auf gesteigerte FTE-Kooperationen, besseres Verfahrenswissen und Grundsatzpolitik realisiert werden?
Kann die Nachhaltigkeit internationaler ERA-Netze sichergestellt werden?
Werden ERA-Netze im joint programming aufgehen oder ergänzende Funktionen erfüllen?
Wird die FTE-Politik auf Kosten multilateraler Kooperationen auf unilaterale und bilaterale Programme zurückfallen?
