The workshop was hosted by ERA-LEARN Project Partner, Manchester Institute of Innovation Research, Alliance Manchester Business School, The University of Manchester. It was attended by 23 participants from P2P networks. The day was structured around the monitoring and evaluation lifecycle of European R&I partnerships. Workshop participants were engaged in a range of participatory exercises including role-plays that complemented the presentations. The learning approach was largely based on learning from each other and understanding the correct ways of doing things through experimentation and interaction with peers.

A large part of the content was drawn from the RIPE toolkit that was developed under ERA-LEARN. The RIPE toolkit is a complete monitoring and evaluation methodology with concrete steps, examples, templates and good practice tips based on the work of ERA-LEARN over the years in supporting the R&I partnerships in their monitoring and evaluation activities.

The workshop presentations are now available for download.

The Horizon Europe proposal distinguishes between 3 types of European Partnerships:

• Co-funded partnerships with a (more or less centralised) blending of EU and national public and/or other R&I funding sources (current ERA-NETs, EJP, FET Flagships model)
• Institutionalised partnerships (based on Art. 185 or 187 TFEU, and EIT regulation for KICs)
• Co-programmed partnerships between the EU, Member States/ Associated Countries, and/or other stakeholders, based on Memoranda of Understanding or contractual arrangements with partners (cPPP model)
