ERA.Net RUS Plus Call 2017 for S&T Projects – apply until 4 July 2017!
The call line 'Science & Technology' of the ERA.Net RUS Plus Call 2017 is now open! Researchers from Russia and Europe are invited to submit their ideas for a joint research project in the fields of nanotechnology, health, environment/climate change, humanities/social sciences, or robotics. A call for proposals for Russian-European innovation projects will follow in summer 2017. The new calls follow the huge success of a similar support measure implemented in 2014-2016 that resulted in 18 funded 'Innovation' and 45 funded 'Science & Technology' projects.

Background
The ERA.NET PLUS initiative with Russia aims at enhancing the coordination of national or regional research programmes in the EU Member States and countries associated to Horizon 2020 in order to strenghten STI cooperation with Russia.
A joint call for transnational research projects in the funding lines 'Innovation' and 'Science & Technology' was successfully implemented in 2014-2016. As a result of the call, 63 joint projects (18 in 'Innovation', 45 in 'Science &Technology') were selected for funding. 25 funding parties from 16 countries and the EU supported these research projects with a total volume of EUR 20 million.
Based on this success, a second joint call is now being implemented: The ERA.Net RUS Plus Call 2017 represents another crucial step in the development of a solid basis for a joint programmatic approach between Russia and the EU Members States and Associated Countries.
