MEDSPRING D6.2 - Analysis report on JPIs relevant Fora and impact to MPCs

The aim of the Task 6.2 is to analyze the current Joint Programming Initiatives (JPIs) in order to identify potential involvement of Mediterranean Partner Countries and ways to further develop euro-mediterranean cooperation in Research and Innovation (R&I). The present deliverable: i) summarizes the state of art of the JPIs; ii) illustrates the results of a survey, realized through the use of a questionnaire sent to all the JPI coordinators; iii) provides information on the ERA-NET co-funded projects in sectors related to the ongoing JPIs; iv) provides inputs on clusters and associations of Mediterranean Partner Countries that could be useful to foster the process of integration and involvement in joint trilateral (EU Members States, European Commission and Mediterranean Partner Countries) activities. Finally, a roadmap has been elaborated as a tool for contributing to a better coordination of policies and strategies in the euro-mediterranean research and innovation area in sectors of main concern and mutual interest.
