ERA Coordination Projects in ICT
ERA coordination projects are the principal means for the EC Sixth Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development to support the cooperation and coordination of research activities (i.e. programmes) carried out at national or regional level.
At present about 20 ERA coordination initiatives relevant to the thematic priority Information Society Technologies (IST) have been launched with the support of the European Commission. The majority is funded by Directorate General (DG) Information Society, some of them by DG Research.
The ERA coordination projects in ICT cover a variety of specific themes and address such elements as strategic alignment, taking inventories, designing RTD roadmaps or future joint initiatives. For further information on the ERA-NET scheme see also the CORDIS information on coordination of research activities.
