Chaired by Philippe Busquin, former European Commissioner for Research, the experts’ fact-finding missions will build a detailed picture of how the R&I system works, with a specific focus on research-industry collaboration and the design of national research priorities.

A new Mutual Learning Exercise (MLE) on National Practices in Widening Participation and Strengthening Synergies, launched in October 2017, is already well advanced in its work to bring countries together, support new actors in joining the EU research programmes and find synergies with EU regional funding.
