Abstract

The guide on synergies between different EU R&I related programmes is an important new addition to the relevant guidance for policy-makers and implementing bodies and was prepared on the basis of an extensive work of the inter-service working group co-chaired by DG REGIO and DG Research and Innovation, with participation of the DG ENTR, DG CONNECT, DG EAC, DG EMPL, DG AGRI, DG ENER, DG MARE, DG JRC, the Bureau of European Policy Advisers, the Eureka Secretariat, the REA, and by Dr. Margaretha Mazura, Secretary General of the Forum of e-Excellence. The web-version of the guide will in the course of the financial period 2014-2020 be enriched with good practice examples of synergies between European Structural and Investment Funds, Horizon 2020, COSME, Erasmus+, Creative Europe, digital services CEF and possibly other EU programmes.
