ERANET I NDUSTRIAL S AFETY
An ERANET project on industrial safety is in preparation to answer the call to be published in July 2010.
The objective of the ERA-NET scheme is to develop and strengthen the coordination of national and regional research programmes through two specific actions:
- 'ERA-NET actions' - providing a framework for actors implementing public research programmes to coordinate their activities e.g. by developing joint activities or by mutually supporting joint calls for trans-national proposals.
- 'ERA-NET Plus actions'- providing, in a limited number of cases with high European added value, additional EU financial support to facilitate joint calls for proposals between national and/or regional programmes.
A group of eligible partners has been constituted to define the activities and the content/scope of the project.
If you want to join the initiative please contact: juergen .lexow@bam.de
