What is Joint Programming?
What is FACCE-JPI?
What is FACCE-JPI’s European and International
Cooperation Strategy?
Joint Programming
• Concept: Endorsed by Council of the EU in 2008 to support the
establishment of the European Research Area
• Rationale: Address major societal challenges, that cannot be
solved at the national level, in a coordinated and collaborative way
• Method: Via the development of a common Strategic Research
Agenda and the alignment of national research programmes and
activities across participating countries
• Key principles:
 Member-state driven
 « A la carte » participation in joint research activities
(variable geometry)
3
Joint Programming Initiatives
• Inter-governmental (member-countries’ driven) initiatives that aim to
improve research coordination and complementarity in a specific field
• Supported by the EC/ Horizon2020
Main goals:
 Reduce research fragmentation in Europe
 Optimally use existing national research funds
 Address societal challenges more effectively and ncrease
increase impact
 Structure & support the European Research Area

FACCE-JPI: Key Facts
• Launched by Council of the EU in 2010
• 22 Member- and Associated Countries; 2 observers (European
Commission, EU Standing Committee on Agricultural Research)
• Managed by 1 Governing Board, with the input of 2 Advisory Boards
(independent scientists and stakeholder organisations)
• Secretariat coordinated by France and financially supported by the EC
• Mobilised resources to date: Approx. €110 M
• Link with H2020 Societal Challenge 2 (Food Security, Sustainable
Agriculture, Water, Bio-economy) and Challenge 5 (Climate Action)

Process and criteria for considering external
partners at joint action level
Scenario 1
Scenario 2
Joint action mainly involves
FACCE-JPI countries
(e.g., MACSUR)
Joint action mainly relies on
cooperation with partners
(e.g., joint call with Belmont Forum)
Secretariat and/or Joint Action
Management Group identifies,
proposes & approaches the
partner(s)
Secretariat informs the
Governing Board
Based
on set
criteria
E.g., similar mission;
overlap in
membership;
mutual interests
Proposal by the Secretariat
Review and approval by the
Governing Board
Partner approached by the
Secretariat
19
Process and criteria for considering
partners at “whole-of-JPI” level
Strategic partner
approaches the JPI Chair
(formal request)
Secretariat reports
back to Governing
Board
Based
on set
criteria
Governing Board
reviews and approves
(based on Secretariat
assessment)
Secretariat works out the
specific modalities with the
partner
20
Criteria for considering a non-EU/ nonAssociated country as an “Associate Member”
• Has similar national research objectives as FACCE-JPI (FACCE Core
Themes are reflected in the national research strategy)
• Is an “important Research & Innovation player” in the FACCE-JPI remit
• Has ongoing work on one/more FACCE-JPI Core Themes and has the
possibility to finance (new) joint work with FACCE-JPI
• Has already cooperated in a satisfactory way with FACCE-JPI via specific
joint actions (as was the case for New Zealand)
• Has expressed interest in working with FACCE-JPI (formal request)
