Task 6.2 Scaling up joint funding mechanisms: 2 objectives
1. Develop a vision for a Joint Danube Programme – considering role of DRRIF (Danube Region Research and Innovation Fund) and cooperating with concerned stakeholders
2. Examine framework conditions and assess option for a roadmap towards a possible Art. 185 Danube measure
1. Vision of a joint Programme
Take into account developments of DRRIF and other relevant initiatives:
examine framework conditions and possibilities exchange information and use synergies with
concerned stakeholders:• EUSDR PA7 activities (Steering group, DRRIF
WG, DRRIF Feasibility study, JRC „Scientific Support to the EUSDR“)
• others: f. ex. EUREKA, Ulm Follow up WG, Danube Region Programme, …
2. Options for a roadmap towards a possible Art. 185 Danube measure
• Examine need, adequacy, pre-conditions, requirements, existing structures/instruments
• Use experiences from other projects:– Art. 185 initiatives: BONUS/Baltic Sea,
PRIMA/Med. countries, AAL, EUROSTARS– SEE-ERA.NET PLUS
• addresses stakeholders in the Danube region for potential coordination of programmes
• describes Deliverable D6.11 (“Roadmap”)
• finalised and uploaded in
3. Activities in the last months
Visit to BONUS Secretariat Helsinki, 08/09/2014
Exchange of information, discuss experiences,receive recommendations
• Draft submitted to Quality Assurance end of October 2014
• under discussion• “Work in Progress”: will
be updated during the course of the Danube-INCO.NET project
Deliverable D6.11: Roadmap towards a possible Art. 185 measure
Discussion, conclusions and recommendations (I)
• Discussion of adequacy, specificities and limitations of an Art. 185 measure for the Danube region
Recommendations:• Generally: discuss a set of (critical) points and agree
upon by participating countries before starting• Chose adequate instrument; depends (not only but
mainly) on– political and financial commitment of stakeholders– their interest and influence on a future
potential programme
Discussion, conclusions and recommendations (II)
Recommendations (ctd.):• Provide “sufficient” amount of funding• Estimate time frame of several years for establishment;
foresee intermediary step(s) (Era-Net COFUND?)• Be prepared to a complex procedure with involvement
of many stakeholders• Use pragmatic approach and flexible implementation:
coordinated system of existing programmes, variable geometry, …
• Exploit synergies between European, national and regional funds
Task 6.3 DRRIF Contact Points/ Secretariat• if DRRIF established during project’s lifetime: prepare
and support implementation
…. joint documents (call text etc.),dissemination material, information packages for key stakeholder groups
(DRRIF Contact Points, applicants, evaluators and)a wiki with “Frequently Asked Questions” and
answers given by DRRIF-Contact Points
