JOREP - Joint and Open Programming in the European Research Area

The JOREP project aims at providing a sound quantitative basis for the monitoring of investments in joint and open research programmes in EU countries, as  well as empirical evidence of the policy rationales and impacts of these programmes on the European Research Area. Two main activities are involved: a) the collection of data about joint and open programmes according to a set of descriptors, and b) the analysis of motivations and impact. The project has also led to the definition of a set of descriptors concerning joint and open programmes.
