The ERA-SPOT consortium

The ERA-SPOT consortium, funded by the European Union (EU) under the Sixth Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development, aims to consolidate research funding activities in Optical Technology (OT) throughout Europe. This shall be implemented through the co-ordination of national programmes by means of joint actions.
The objectives of ERA-SPOT are:

to set the stage for the open co-ordination of national research and innovation policies,
to develop common instruments, mechanisms and strategies for joint activities,
ultimately, to institutionalise ERA-SPOT for long-term collaboration.

The consortium comprises representatives of all significant OT-related funding programmes in six EU Member States, namely:

Austria: Austrian Research Promotion Agency, FFG acting on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Transport, Innovation and Technology, BMVIT

Germany: VDI Technologiezentrum GmbH and Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung

France: Ministère de l’Enseignement supérieur et de la Recherche
and Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, CNRS

Ireland: Enterprise Ireland, EI

Slovenia: Ministry for the Higher Education, Science and Technology, MHEST

Sweden: Swedish Agency for InnovationSystems, VINNOVA

ERA-SPOT call 2009

The ERA-SPOT consortium opened its third call, "ERA-SPOT call 2009", early in 2009. It is now closed and results will be announced on this site. Currently, the ERA-SPOT consortium members are considering measures that could be taken to extend multi-national calls in optics. > Monday, August 31 2009
