Statutory tasks• Scientific cooperation: funding schemes, joint international programmes• Expert tasks in international science policy : expertise
European Union – European Research Area• High-level expert groups: strategy• Steering groups and other working groups of Joint Programmes and networks:
strategy, administration, best practices• Researchers in the EU Framework Programmes and in the Horizon 2020:
encouragement, advice, funding
Nordic cooperation• Nordic Council of Ministers and NordForsk
Research infrastructures
Bilateral partnerships with research funding agencies of non-EU countries
International cooperation objectives: tasks for funding agencies

International cooperation objectives:
European Research Area
• The ‘internal market’ of research: free movement of knowledge and researchers, efficient coordination of actions
• Actions under the EU’s competence: Framework programmes for research (FP7 2007–2013, Horizon 2020 2014–2020)
• Joint actions by Member States and the EU• ERA-NETs, INCO-Nets and JPIs• ESFRI• Science Europe, ESF and COST• European research institutes: e.g. CERN, EMBL/EMBC, ESA, ESO, EUI,
ESFR, FAIR, IIASA• Member States’ own actions to promote the European Research Area• Development and cooperation of national research systems

ERA-NET instrument to create co-ordination mechanisms for international research collaboration• ERA-NET instrument was launched in the 6th FP to in order to strengthen the ERA,
European Research Area • ERA-NET is an instrument for Research Funders• To intensify cooperation between research funding organisations by establishing
common operating methods and practices for the funding of research programmes• To plan and open mutual national and regional programmes and to plan and open joint
international calls• To promote the joint use of research infrastructures
• ERA-NET plus involves also Commission’s funding to the research• Art. 185 cooperation is based on the decision of the the European Parliament and of
the Council

ERA-NET / ERA-NET plus / Art. 185 and ERA-NET Cofund
• Altogether ca. 150 ERA-NET and ERA-NET plus projects, 5 Art.185 projects have been launched during the FP6 and FP7, including ca. 1000 organisations from ca. 70 countries
• AKA has been coordinating two ERA-NETs, BONUS and NORFACE and participated as a partner in ca. 40 separate ERA-NETs
• In HORIZON 2020 ERA-NET Cofund instrument is to support public-public partnerships in their preparation, establishment of networking structures, design, implementation and coordination of joint activities as well as topping up of individual joint calls and of actions of a transnational nature

Article 185
Development of BONUS
Germany: marine research
programme
Finland: BIREME
Sweden:MARE, Aqualiens
(before 2004)
Participating states• Eight EU member states surrounding
the Baltic Sea: Denmark, Estonia, Germany, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Sweden
• Russia participates through bilateral agreements
• 10 funding agencies participate as BONUS members and funding the calls
• 12 funding agencies participate as non-members funding the calls only
• Funding agencies include both basic research and innovation funders
• Total funding EUR 100 million
Boosters of coordination
Sector policy drivers:• Research and innovation: European Research Area, Horizon 2020• Maritime: EU Maritime Policy, Common Fisheries Policy • Environment: Marine Strategy Framework Directive – implemented
through HELCOM’s Baltic Sea Action Plan
• Agriculture, Energy, Traffic and others... Co-operation platform:• Macro-region: EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region

Funded by the Commission, coordinator FFG / Austria, AKA and RCN involved a.o.
Objectives: • to address the needs of the transnational coordination community• to help reduce wasteful use of resources• to support the implementation of streamlined mechanisms and increased mutual
learning • to provide tools for analysis of network performance• to highlight the synergies between ERA-NETs and other forms of national and regional
research programme coordination • to facilitate high-level analysis of policy related issues in the context of programme
coordination and cooperation• to support future developments of transnational programme coordination.

Joint Programming
Excellent research institutions and

European Research AreaBuilding blocks

Joint Programming is a concept which:
• Recognises the importance of existing activities and initiatives;• Recognises the increasing need for a new and more strategic approach; • Calls for the implementation of a Member States-led process to step up
their R&D cooperation;• Fully recognises the competence of member States and regions over the
choice of R&D policies and the related allocation of resources
Joint Programming in Research
16 © ACADEMY OF FINLAND
• Bilateral collaboration with key non-European countries• to open opportunities for cooperation with established and emerging
science countries• to secure reciprocal funding for research collaboration• focus on thematic grand societal challenges
• Non-EU countries and regions prioritised by the Academy of Finland• Brazil, Russia, India, China, the United States, Japan, Chile, Republic of
Korea, and South Africa
• The first Finnish-Chinese joint call for proposals in 2002 (AF & NSFC)
Global cooperation – China as an example
17 © ACADEMY OF FINLAND
• China Working Group, including members from all the relevant units of the Academy of Finland administration office (Chair + 9 members).• Planning, preparation and execution of joint calls and other joint
activities with Chinese partners.• Allocated annual budget of ca. EUR 15 000.
• Regular visits to and from Chinese partner organisations.
• Since 2012 the Finnish Ministry of Education and Culture has had a dedicated Counsellor for Science and Education in the Finnish Embassy of Beijing. Important contact point and facilitator for the Academy of Finland and other organisations.

• In order to get a better picture on what is going on, joint meetings would be useful to start with
• Joint activities in infrastructure: Monitoring the Baltic Sea, climate monitoring• Joint local infrastructures in e.g. physics and biosciences • Building joint infrastructure for regional services
• Joint master and doctoral programmes – can be started with joint courses• Joint winter and summer schools
• Joint funding opportunities, joint calls to support collaborations
