A summary of the SNOWMAN tools, principles and general approach
|
| Long description: |
Since its launch in 2004 SNOWMAN has developed a mechanism for transnational cooperation in research
funding, and principles describing how to implement these via coordinated calls for research. The theoretical
background has been studied in practice by launching two transnational calls of which the first led to six European
project consortia being funded – these projects are almost finalised at the time of this brochure’s publication.
The second call, launched in January 2009, should be in the phase of project funding recommendations
being made by the Call Steering Committee, the same time. A start of the projects themselves is expected at
the end of 2009.
In 2005, the SNOWMAN Navigator surveyed the national funding programmes for research on contaminated
soil and groundwater in Europe to answer the questions asked at the beginning of the ERA-NET project: What
do we have? Which research programmes are on stage? How do they overlap? What hinders co-operation?
What are the contents to be focussed? The conclusions of the Navigator: “Improve European cooperation”,
“Contaminated sites are still a problem”, “Funders do not know each other” and “Disseminaton of research
knowledge is a major task” lead to some future recommendations from SNOWMAN.
While the content of the SNOWMAN Navigator is only available in electronic format, the Vision Paper and Research
Programme are included in this brochure for your information.
