3 I Relevant EU Acquis Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions A reinforced European research area partnership for excellence and growth The Five Key ERA Priorities More effective national research systems Optimal transnational co-operation and competition An open labour market for researchers Gender equality and gender mainstreaming in research Optimal Circulation and Transfer of Knowledge including via Digital ERA

4 II ERA progress report 2014 National strategy Serbia must identify its own priorities in accordance with its European aspirations and realities of the globalization in the 21 st century ERA strategic groups representatives nominated ERA progress report 2013 part of ERA analysis country profile ERA progress report 2014 contributed on voluntary basis

5 II ERA progress report 2014 More effective national systems National strategy on research and innovation have been adopted. Differences in research funding. Institutional assessment of performance linked with institutional funding. Optimal transnational co-operation and competition Transnational cooperation at programme level is increasing and forms part of the national strategies. Joint Programming Initiatives (JPIs) are increasingly helping to align national programmes and activities to common agendas at EU level addressing societal challenges. National Research Infrastructure Roadmaps adopted by almost all MS.

6 II ERA progress report 2014 An open labour market for researchers The implementation of the 2011 principles for innovative doctoral training helps researchers acquire new skills. Open recruitment enables research institutions to hire the best researchers at all career stages, and fosters effective geographical mobility. Few Member States have introduced national legislation stipulating that any vacancy in a public research institution must be published on an international research jobs website, e.g. EURAXESS Jobs. Gender equality and gender mainstreaming in research Gender issues in research and innovation have gained increased recognition on policy agendas at national, European and international levels, as well as within research organizations.

7 II ERA progress report 2014 Optimal Circulation and Transfer of Knowledge including via Digital ERA Open Access -national policies, initiatives and practices are still fragmented Knowledge Transfer - there are strong policy support mechanisms for knowledge transfer in place in most Member States, this is not reflected by financial backing in half of the Member States. Digital ERA - Infrastructures to guarantee access to and uptake of knowledge by all for Open Access to publicly funded research results are not appropriately developed across Europe. There is no single path to achieve ERA
