In a rapidly changing world, in which research is proving to be an increasingly vital element, Europe possesses considerable advantages. But to exploit these to the full, it needs to overcome the fragmentation of its Member States' science and technology policies. The European Research Area (ERA) is intented to co-ordinate these national research policies in the direction of shared objectives, expertise and resources. Once ERA has been achieved, the concept of European research will be as familiar as those of the single market or the single currency are today.
The action plan comprises four main sets of actions to increase the level of investment in research in the European Union to 3% of GDP, with two-thirds financed by the private sector : supporting the steps taken by European countries and stakeholders and ensuring that they are mutually consistent and that they form an effective mix of public policy measures ; - improving the public support for research and technological innovation ; addressing the necessary increase in the levels of public funding for research ; improving the environment of research and technological innovation in Europe.
