Mission
EUROHORCs wish to develop and strengthen the European Research Area (ERA) so that…
• researchers • knowledge • technologies
…can move freely around Europe

• Platform for discussion Science funding, science review, science management and science policy
• Joint initiativesPromoting and enhancing inter-council cooperation. – EURYI European Young Investigator awards – Money Follows Researcher
• Influencing European research policyServing, inter alia, as an advisory body for the EuropeanCommission
EUROHORCs actions

EUROHORCs and ESF Road Map for Excellence in Science in Europe
• EUROHORCs & ESF vision on a globally competitive ERA of excellence– A bigger picture– Can not be tackled only by EUROHORCs and ESF– Requires leadership by EC, Universities, private sector, ALEA,…
• EUROHORCs & ESF actions to contribute to the ERA
10
1. An effective European research policy, capitalising on cultural, geographic and scientific diversity
2. A stimulating education system3. A single European labour market for researchers4. Adequate funding for top quality curiosity driven research, 5. Transnational funding, benchmarking of quality and shared
scientific priorities for strategic research and researcher-driven programmes
6. Excellent research institutions7. World-class research infrastructures8. Open access to the output of publicly funded research and
permanent access to primary quality assured research data9. Effective and trusted bridges between science, society and the
private sector10. Openness to the world
EUROHORCs & ESF Vision on a Globally Competitive ERA of Excellence
11
1. Strengthen the relations between science and the private sector and intensify the dialogue between research organisations and political actors at the European level
2. Promoting European research careers3. Develop research foresight and use its results as a basis for joint strategy
development4. Create a European grant union 5. Address Peer Review of proposals at European level 6. Develop common approaches to ex post evaluations of funding schemes and
research programmes7. Create ERA-Connect and “Regional Clusters of Excellence” to shape
collaboration between RPOs and other research institutions8. Develop shared funding and exploitation of medium sized research infrastructure9. Implement a common policy on Open Access to research results and Permanent
Access to research data10. Connect European research to the world
EUROHORCs & ESF Actions to Contribute to the ERA

Action 4: Create a European Grant Union
• Issue– There are barriers to transnational collaboration and benchmarking
of excellence– Missing collaborations based on free financial and personal mobility
• Actions– Money follows Researcher– Money follows Cooperation – Lead Agency procedure– EUROCORE scheme
• Envisaged effect– Strengthening cross boarder cooperation– Increases quality in general– Increases mobility
