Short description:
This publication contains nine case studies that examine different approaches and modalities used by EU
Member-States (and Horizon2020 Associated Countries) to facilitate the alignment of national research
strategies, programmes and other activities in the context of joint programming processes. These case studies
have been conducted in the framework of Task 4.2 of the ERA-LEARN2020 Project (2015-18), and build on the
“Typology of Alignment” developed under the project’s Task 4.1. The case studies do not constitute in-depth
evaluations of ongoing practices. Instead they aim to illustrate how selected approaches have been used to
promote alignment at strategic, operational and financial levels, and what the key “lessons learned” are from
these experiences. The case studies outline the main benefits and challenges practitioners have faced when
putting in place such approaches, and the key factors for their successful implementation. The main target
audience for this publication are national research funding and research performing organisations.
