"The NoEs: which durable impact on the ERA? How to make them sustainable?"
Effective networking is crucial for re-structuring of the European Research Area. In particular, Networks of Excellence enable: assembling of commonly accessible world-class research infrastructures; definition and prioritisation of Europe-wide research agendas; efficient prosecution of collaborative research and innovation activities; training of staff and research students, formation and maintenance of close links with regional, national and European research funding bodies; and spreading of excellence to other networks and non-member organisations world-wide.
