<19th of November 2007> <Sugárka Kelecsenyi and Martin König> <8/x>
Gather all necessary prerequisites for getting operational:– Extend and further update our knowledge
base about CC programmes and their• Scientific content and policy context• Management and administration• Dissemination strategies• Project evaluation and selection procedures• …
This is already very far developed now!
CIRCLE –our agenda until 2009 -1
<19th of November 2007> <Sugárka Kelecsenyi and Martin König> <9/x>
Set the focus for cooperation:
– On a topical level (what are the most striking issues and research gaps, which we want to tackle within CIRCLE)
– On a technical/operational levelor how to design the transnational activities
– Cooperate with other ERA-Nets on both levels

To develop all necessary “enablers” for transnational activities like joint calls:– Topical or geographical CIRCLE working
programme(s)– Common evaluation schemes– Modes of operations for joint calls like
• mutual opening of programmes• Pooling money and evaluation, but fund projects nationally• Joint calls with geographical/juste return principle• Completely open calls
