European Research Area
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The European Research Area (ERA) is a system of scientific research programmes integrating the European Union's scientific resources. Since its creation in 2000, the structure has been concentrated on multi-national co-operation in the fields of medical, environmental, industrial and socio-economic research. The ERA can be likened to a research and innovation equivalent of the European "common market" for goods and services. Its purpose is to increase the competitiveness of European research institutions by bringing them together and encouraging a more inclusive way of work, similar to what already exists among institutions in North America and Japan. Increased mobility of knowledge workers and deepened multilateral co-operation among research institutions among the Member States are central goals of the ERA.
