A European Research Area for the Environment

Taking stock of the progress of the European Research Area (ERA) in the field of the environment, this study recommends measures to further promote and develop a Europe-wide open space for environmental knowledge. Compared to the state of affairs in 2000 when the ERA was launched, progress has been made in achieving the ERA objectives in environmental research and innovation. Solid trans-border networking and coordination of research agendas are underway even though governance aspects still need to be tackled. More structured public-private collaboration is needed to further exploit the potential of eco-innovation.
