Join Europe’s R&I network – the ERA Community

At INSPIRING ERA, we’re building an ERA Community, connecting R&I stakeholders across Europe. Join to access insights, tools and connections that turn ideas into action – and be part of a growing community shaping how the ERA works in practice.

Why build a communtiy

INSPIRING ERA connects those who turn ERA goals into real-world action. We translate policy into practice by providing practical tools, insights, and spaces for exchange. Together, we build a community that learns, collaborates, and drives change across the European Research Area.

The ERA Community is open to everyone contributing to Europe’s research and innovation landscape.

From individual researchers and innovators to universities, institutions, networks, funders and policymakers, it’s a place to stay informed, share experiences, and turn policy into practice together.

Benefit 1 – Stay informed

Get clear, timely updates on the latest ERA policy developments, funding opportunities, and strategic priorities — delivered straight to your inbox. Stay on top of what shapes Europe’s research and innovation landscape.

Benefit 2 – Get practical, not just theoretical

Discover guides, factsheets and events designed to help you implement open science tools, boost your research career, valorise knowledge or manage innovation in real organisations. Not just from us, but also from other projects, programmes, and institutions.

Benefit 3 – Connect and collaborate

Be invited to online and offline events, meet peers from across Europe, share challenges, build connections — and find new opportunities for your institution, project or innovation.
