The network brings together 11 groups from 7 countries . It is interdisciplinary covering economics, sociology, political science, history and management. It will explore the conditions of creation of a network of excellence on the shaping of research and innovation policies in the move towards the ERA. It will first address, through thematic workshops , the four main research issues that face there: the rationale for public intervention in the production, access, ownership and trading of knowledge; the framing of policies in a worldwide unique setting of overlapping public authorities; the role and shaping of public sector research; and policy-making processes and frameworks in situations of uncertainty. Secondly, the conditions for establishing a lasting knowledge infrastructure in the field will be addressed through working groups on training, data handling, a forum for debate and dissemination, and on the design of the network of excellence per se.
