Webpage Linking all the EU initiatives

This deliverable is oriented to set up a harmonized list of related European Initiatives in order to secure the best possible connection not only with national but also with other EU initiatives and to help to acquire and develop international visibility. The key functions of the task 1.4 “Analysis of links to other EU initiatives” may be listed as follows:

• A general list of links to existing European Technology Platforms that provides related data

• A general list of Joint Technology Initiatives

• List of other related European Initiatives

• List of other related European Progects

• Webpage linking all the EU Initiatives

This deliverable is framed, only to a small extent, in the work done in task 1.2 “Identification of relevant RTD activities and related policy issues in member regions” within WP1 “Regional cluster analyses”. In task 1.2, project regional authorities and RTD partners, with the support of SMEs and associations, have performed a detailed analysis in a national level. In task 1.4 “Analysis of links to other EU initiatives” RTD partners have widen the analysis not only to national but also to other EU initiatives. The aim of this task is the identification of related European initiatives in order to exclude duplication in research efforts and gain synergy effects. The information included in this report has been compiled by using the partners own databases and by accomplishing further focused research (articles, studies, reports), a detailed search via Internet and by having interviews with local experts.
