Coördinatie Platform 2014 (BO-20-007-207)

PLATFORM is the joint instrument of the bioeconomy relevant coordination networks between programme owners (ERA-NETs, JPIs, SCAR working groups). Through this initiative the networks exchange information, engage in mutual learning, and create an overview of the ERA-NET actions and their activities. DLO provides operational, management and expert support to EZ during the three-year FP7 project PLATFORM. In addition, DLO is asked to write a project proposal for a sequel. 

Europe is increasinly important for research. Horizon 2020 (H2020) is a significant programme in size and impact. An ERA-Net is an important policy instrument in H2020. The PLATFORM project and its sequel gives The Netherlands the opportunity to use knowledge and opportunities optimally within possibilities of H2020.
