Objectives of the manual

The central goal of this online manual is to provide the ERA-NET community with a sound basis for the implementation of transnational calls for proposals. You will find general information, practical examples and templates.

These optional descriptions, recommendations and guidelines are based on experiences and realistic scenarios, provided as an interactive compilation of modules which reflect the different phases in the planning and operation of joint calls.

The contents are based on past and ongoing ERA-NETs and have proven useful for specific purposes. The documents may be used as blueprints, references or inspiration for future joint call activities.

There is no doubt that the ERA-NET instrument is suitable for flexible use; consequently material provided here may be appropriate for various scenarios and constellations whereas less appropriate for various other scenarios and constellations.

All information is based on the input from ERA-NET coordinators. This compilation was developed by ERA-LEARN to simplify and standardise the execution of joint calls as much as possible.

This revised draft was compiled and published by ERA-LEARN in March 2012. We invite you to check, comment and provide us with feedback. Updated versions are planned on an annual basis.

A printable version of this manual is provided.
Please note that the printable version does not replace the online version, as it does not contain any hyperlinks or templates.

A printable checklist for call implementation is also provided.
