We would like to invite you to participate in the call for the EERA JPNM Pilot Project proposals that has been open on December 1, 2021.

The EERA JPNM Pilot Projects are an instrument aligning national research programmes into a consistent European programme on materials for sustainable nuclear energy. The approved Pilot Projects constitute the integrated part of the research portfolio of the EERA JPNM. Overall, the Pilot Projects are a tool facilitating the advisory role of EERA JPNM to European Commission and Member States that these institutions expect. Through the Pilot Projects, EERA JPNM can provide clear indications about research needs, costs and gaps. The EERA JPNM Pilot Projects’ portfolio proved to be a key tool for shaping important strategic documents and to be used for funding at European and national level.

A Pilot Project (PP) is a project focused on a specific research issue consistent with the Strategic Research Agenda of the EERA JPNM (SRA) and linked to at least one of the JPNM subprogrammes. It involves at least 3 participants, from 3 different European countries.
