ERA CoBioTech

ERA-NET Cofund on biotechnologies, ERA CoBioTech, is being supported as part of the European Commission’s Horizon 2020 funding programme to replace the three ERA-NETs ERA-IB-2 (ERA-NET for industrial biotechnology), ERASysAPP (ERA-NET for applied systems biology) and ERASynBio (ERA-NET for synthetic biology). Between 2005-2016 there have been 12 calls whereby 110 projects have been supported with fundings of 189 Mio €. ERA CoBioTech brings together partners from 18 European countries as well as Argentina and Israel. The aim of ERA CoBioTech is:

• To expand on synergies in the field of biotechnological research funding in Europe
• To intensify knowledge and technology transfer
• To emphasise the benefits and opportunities created for society by the bioeconomy
• To strengthen Europe’s global position in the field of modern biotechnologies
  
• In a joint effort between the ERA CoBioTech partners and the European scientific community, ERA CoBioTech has developed a vision for the future of biotechnology in Europe (“Strategic Agenda”).

There are currently no calls running.

ERA-NET ForestValue

ERA-NET Cofund on innovative forest-based bioeconomy, ForestValue, began on 1 October 2017 with a duration of five years. Further actions are planned in addition to a joint call. The funding initiative consists of 30 partner organisations from 14 European countries as well as countries like Tunesia, Egypt, Turkey and Argentina and is being supported by the EU Horizon 2020 funding programme.

Between 2004-2017 the ERA-NET organised 6 calls whereby 73 projects with fundings of 97 Mio. € could be supported.

There are currently no calls running.

ERA-NET Smart Energy System SES

The European Union’s aim is to reduce dependency on fossil fuels and lead the way when it comes to renewable energy. The goal is to reduce CO2 emissions by at least 40% by 2030. ERA-NET Smart Energy System SES supports this ambition and finances transnational research and innovation projects. Based on the European Union’s Strategic Energy Technology Plan, the activities of ERA-NET SES aim to increase the resilience and reliability of the energy system (SET-plan action 4). This funding initiative consists of 30 partners from 24 countries.
