  10. EUROHORCs & ESF Vision on a Globally Competitive ERA of Excellence • An effective European research policy, capitalising on cultural, geographic and scientific diversity • A stimulating education system • A single European labour market for researchers • Adequate funding for top quality curiosity driven research, • Transnational funding, benchmarking of quality and shared scientific priorities for strategic research and researcher-driven programmes • Excellent research institutions • World-class research infrastructures • Open access to the output of publicly funded research and permanent access to primary quality assured research data • Effective and trusted bridges between science, society and the private sector • Openness to the world

  11. EUROHORCs & ESF Actions to Contribute to the ERA • Strengthen the relations between science and the private sector and intensify the dialogue between research organisations and political actors at the European level • Promoting European research careers • Develop research foresight and use its results as a basis for joint strategy development • Create a European grant union • Address Peer Review of proposals at European level • Develop common approaches to ex post evaluations of funding schemes and research programmes • Create ERA-Connect and “Regional Clusters of Excellence” to shape collaboration between RPOs and other research institutions • Develop shared funding and exploitation of medium sized research infrastructure • Implement a common policy on Open Access to research results and Permanent Access to research data • Connect European research to the world

  12. Action 4: Create a European Grant Union • Issue • There are barriers to transnational collaboration and benchmarking of excellence • Missing collaborations based on free financial and personal mobility • Actions • Money follows Researcher • Money follows Cooperation • Lead Agency procedure • EUROCORE scheme • Envisaged effect • Strengthening cross boarder cooperation • Increases quality in general • Increases mobility
