High-level Policy Network on Cross-border Collaboration and the ERA

The High Level Policy Network currently focuses on two topics central to Science Europe's strategy: cross-border collaboration and the European Research Area.

It monitors policy developments in the ERA and develops initiatives to strengthen international collaboration to ensure that researchers have access to the best ideas, latest knowledge, and the necessary infrastructure and facilities to help maintain the innovative and cutting-edge nature of the European research effort.

The High Level Policy Network advises the Governing Board and develops relevant activities and events together with the Office.
