The ERA-Net scheme -1
Step 1:
Systematic exchange
of information
and best practice
SSA
Step 2:
Identification and
analysis of common
strategic issues
Step 3:
Development of first
joint activities between
the programmes
CA
Step 4:
Preparatory activities regarding the implementation of transnational
research activities

CIRCLE –
our agenda until 2009 -1
Gather all necessary prerequisites for
getting operational:
– Extend and further update our knowledge
base about CC programmes and their

Scientific content and policy context
Management and administration
Dissemination strategies
Project evaluation and selection procedures

This is already very far developed now!

CIRCLE –
our agenda until 2009 -2
Set the focus for cooperation:
– On a topical level (what are the most striking
issues and research gaps, which we want to
tackle within CIRCLE)
– On a technical/operational level
or how to design the transnational activities
– Cooperate with other ERA-Nets on both levels

CIRCLE –
our agenda until 2009 -3
To develop all necessary “enablers” for
transnational activities like joint calls:
– Topical or geographical CIRCLE working
programme(s)
– Common evaluation schemes
– Modes of operations for joint calls like
•
•
•
•
mutual opening of programmes
Pooling money and evaluation, but fund projects nationally
Joint calls with geographical/juste return principle
Completely open calls

coastal zones have arrived
Nordic call open– Research on
consequences of climate change for
policy making in the Nordic
