The second Partnership Stakeholder Forum was organised by the European Commission and ERA-LEARN and took place in Brussels, 5-6 December 2023. The event attracted more than 250 physical representatives of the Partnerships community who participated in several workshops addressing current issues related to European Partnerships, including synergies between Partnerships and Missions; achievements and needs of European Partnerships based on the Horizon Europe interim evaluation; additionality and directionality of European Partnerships; openness and transparency; developing a coherent Partnership portfolio. The future of Partnerships was also discussed in detail both in terms of their selection process and their possible design under FP10 considering also internationalisation and global links within the strategic autonomy for the EU.

Preliminary results of the Forum compiled in a short report and video recordings of the plenary sessions are now available. A detailed report will be published on the ERA-LEARN website in January 2024.
