WP 5: Transnational activities

General objective: to use the information from

WP 2, 3 & 4 to build a transnational research programme to be included in participants’ national food safety

programmes

Objective 1

to build a common research programme in

agreement with the ESC

• The call should be realistic in order to allow to conduct an evaluation procedure i.e. « first call » rather than « pilot call »

• Several strategic topic (s) should have been selected from WP 3 & 4

• Several members of the ERA net should be involved• Validation of the transnational call by the ESC

Objective 2

to disseminate the call to the adequate researchers across partners’ countries

• Establishment of a procedure for the dissemination of a European call across countries

• Establishment of indicators of success to be used for objective 5– Global response rate

– Distribution of response rates by country

– Quality of respondents

– Adequation of responses with the topic (s)

– …………

Objective 3 to build a common accepted and efficient selection

procedure for the projects

• Compilation of evaluation procedures in recent calls at national level in the field of food safety

• Interviews with programme managers to analyse the key points in the selection criterias

• Establishment of a draft protocole• Validation of the draft protocole by the ESC

Objective 4

to disseminate efficiently the results of research funded

• Establishment of a procedure for the dissemination of results across countries– Scientific journal vs report– Paper vs web site– Workshops…

• Establishment of indicators of success to be used for objective 5– Questionnaire for researchers– ………..

Objective 5

to evaluate the quality of the call

• Assessment of the efficiency of each phase in relation with previously elaborated indicators– With national programme managers (ESC) for objectives 1 & 3

– With researchers for objectives 2 & 4

• Identification and correction of the gaps• Production of guidelines for future transnational calls (final report)
