The 3^rd Annual Report on Public-Public Partnerships (P2Ps) that has been prepared by the ERA-LEARN 2020 project team using data provided by the P2P networks. It starts with an overview of developments over the 12 month period from July 2016 to June 2017. It then summarises the current position and cumulative investment in P2P joint calls since FP6 followed by a specific section on the Horizon 2020 ERA-NET Cofund instrument. Available data on planned investment for the second half of 2017 and beyond is also included. The report concludes with short summaries of other analytical work carried out by ERA-LEARN 2020 over the past year.

This report aims, as a priority, to evaluate the impact of the ERA-NETs ICT-AGRI 1 and 2.Furthermore, this report also contains recommendations regarding the evaluation method itself, in order to help other ERA-NETs in their impact evaluation and to contribute to the discussion on a common evaluation framework.

The report analyses alignment across regional programmes and within initiatives developed at regional level. In investigating the alignment possibilities at regional and trans-regional level, the report aims at identifying good practice examples and guidelines on how to effectively achieve alignment in different P2P initiatives. Furthermore, the goal of the report is to underline if and how the regional perspective could facilitate the alignment of national research programmes or be an added value to the alignment process. After an introduction about the regional collaboration in the EU, the report adresses good practices and key factors of success of regional initiatives in terms of alignment and ends with conclusions.

This practical “toolbox” synthesizes the lessons learned from the case studies that examine current and novel alignment modalities. It describes specific alignment actions or instruments in practical terms, the key benefits and weaknesses of such an action, and the success factors necessary to ensure effective implementation and impact.

There are a variety of actions and instruments currently in use in Europe that promote and facilitate the practical implementation of alignment of national research and innovation strategies, activities, and resources. Such joint actions can in fact occur at any stage of the research and innovation programming cycle. The consolidated “Alignment Typology” identifies 29 alignment actions and instruments currently in use by various European public-to-public research partnerships along the entire research and innovation programming cycle. This report provides information about the possible use, benefits, challenges, and key factors of successful implementation for each of the 29 actions identified in the Typology table.

Annex to the ERA-LEARN report on the definition and Typology of alignment.

The Joint Programming Initiative More Years Better Lives (JPI MYBL) is an example of a Joint Programming Initiative in which a set of performance indicators has been set up in an early phase of the programme. The set of key indicators was later used in an independent evaluation in order to assess the progress made in the JPI. This case study provides information on the development of the indicators set and how the indicators were used by the external evaluation.

The case studies examine Monitoring and Evaluation approaches and instruments used in the context of existing JPIs. The case study analysis relies on a review of existing literature and targeted interviews with relevant P2P programme managers and participants.

This publication contains three case studies that examine Monitoring and Evaluation approaches and instruments used in the context of existing JPIs. The case studies highlight a variety of benefits commonly accruing to JPIs that set up adequate Monitoring & Evaluation frameworks and activities, including:

1. the development of a comprehensive, focused set of indicators beyond operational objectives and the explicit linking of the JPI’s vision, aims, and objectives to the indicator framework;
2. tool for organisational learning, where impact assessment provides the opportunity to reflect on internal organizational processes that can feed back into revisions of Strategic Research Agendas (SRAs);
3. assisting the overall coordination and giving direction for future activities; and
4. raising awareness among key stakeholders and improving impact communication.

The cases pinpoint a number of factors that enable the development of effective Monitoring and Evaluation frameworks and reveal the obstacles and challenges to be overcome in the process. At the end several key conclusions are drawn.
