Advancing ERICs
The ERIC Forum Implementation Project, now in its second edition, brings together the ERIC community to strengthen its coordination and enhance its collaborations. The strategic approach of the ERIC Forum will contribute to addressing critical challenges and developing best practices. The European Union’s Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe Action fund the projects.
The major objectives of the ERIC Forum Implementation Projects are to:
- strengthen coordination and networking, reinforcing the ERIC network;
- support the organisation of specific meetings, targeted thematic workshops focussing on shared challenges such as the development of internal procurement rules, harmonised reporting, VAT exemption practices, insurances and pensions policies and training of governance bodies representatives;
- support ERICs in preparation, based on best practices;
- support common communication and outreach activities and strengthen the external representation of ERICs as a stakeholder in consultations and other policy actions that could affect them.
