This report explores the challenges facing research funding and performing organisations to design and manage balanced Research Infrastructure (RI) portfolios and design effective cross-border collaborations when setting up and running joint RIs. Discussions with a broad range of stakeholders took place at a dedicated workshop co-hosted by Science Foundation Ireland and the Health Research Board.
This report analyses the underlying preconditions and efficiency of Lead Agency Procedure (LAP), based on the evidence available from the many LAP partnerships among Science Europe’s members. It also contains policy recommendations for research organisations so that they gain a more accurate understanding of the Lead Agency principles and are made more able to judge on its scope and limitations.
In this paper produced by the Scientific Committee for the Life, Environmental and Geo Sciences, the Committee argues that in order to strengthen international collaborative research, the national research funding organisations should consider increasing their efforts to widen the participation of various European countries and global partners in multilateral schemes, whilst fostering interdisciplinarity and knowledge integration. Moreover, a bottom-up approach should be adopted in order to collect research proposals that contain novel ideas and solutions, captured directly from the research community and users, thus enabling open innovation.
In a globalised research ecosystem, collaboration is key. This collaboration also brings challenges linked to the diversity of scientific and legal environments. The aim of this practical guide is to provide better and more efficient means for research organisations to apply a set of optional models for cross-border collaboration and to help them achieve more successful and easier implementation.
The Roadmap, approved by the Science Europe General Assembly in November 2013, is Science Europe’s action plan to contribute to the elements of a successful research system. It acts as a framework for voluntary collective activity, providing a long-term strategy for the association. The ‘Priority Action Areas’ are those in which Science Europe members believe that there is a potential to achieve tangible and substantive progress, and where they can add real value by working together.
The Money follows Researcher initiative is a voluntary effort by a set of European research organisations to enable portability of the research funding that they provide. Its objective is to avoid disruption of projects and to ensure continuity of funding when researchers move across borders within Europe.
The High Level Policy Network addresses the topics of cross-border collaboration and the European Research Area to advise Science Europe and support its advocacy efforts.
On the occasion of the 2023 High Level Workshop, Science Europe is organising a campaign to showcase its Member Organisations' activities regarding international scientific collaboration with Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean, with a focus on academic freedom, integrity, and reciprocity.
The 2017 Science Europe Symposium took place in Brussels, Belgium. The topic was 'Science Without Borders'.
Together with CSIC and NCN, Science Europe is organising the European Regional Meeting of the Global Research Council to provide input to the 2022 GRC Annual Meeting.
Together with UKRI, Science Europe is organising the European Regional Meeting of the Global Research Council to provide input to the 2023 GRC Annual Meeting.
Several initiatives attempt to bridge the R&I gap between Eastern and Western Europe, including the European Commission's €3.3bn "Widening" plan, and the relaunched ERA. Implementation remains difficult, however. Science Europe sponsored and co-organised the first regional event of the new Science|Business Widening Initiative to address this issue.
The 2023 High Level Workshop on ERA is co-organised with CSIC and the Spanish Ministry for Science and Innovation. It deals with 'Challenges to reciprocity and equitable scientific collaboration between Europe, Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean'.
Science Europe and UEFISCDI are co-organising the European Regional Meeting of the Global Research Council to prepare input to the 2024 GRC Annual Meeting.
