The ERA-NET scheme emerged in the EU's Sixth Framework Programme for RTD to support cooperation and coordination of national activities, programmes and initiatives related to science, technology and innovation with the aim of strengthening the European Research Area (ERA).

In most ERA-NETs, ​​coordination has reached the point of being able to launch calls for grants for joint research projects. These are transnational calls to which common application, evaluation and selection procedures are applied for proposals, which have been developed and agreed upon by all participating agencies.

The projects presented are two/three years long, close to the market, and with the aim of covering the needs of the company.

Era-Nets can be in any field of Science and Technology. You can see data of the ERANETS in which Spain has participated in previous years here.
