✓ Strengthen promotion and exploitation of project results by stakeholders in Member States and Associated Countries;
✓ Provide information for potential applicants to the Work Programme to develop synergies and complementarities with current projects and results.
This content is a work in progress and will be continuously updated, including to reflect the contribution of the framework programme to the next ERA Policy Agenda.
