Joint Programming Initiatives
(JPI)
What is Joint Programming?

EC 07/2008: “towards joint programming in research:
working together to tackle common challenges more
effectively”

General principle: coördination of national research
programmes in order to tackle “grand challenges”

Proces steered by GPC (“Groupe de Programmation
Conjointe”)

Implementation: “voluntary guidelines” (framework
conditions)
JPI
Specific characteristics

About ‘grand challenges”
