THE ERNEST JOINT CALL 2010 IS NOW OPEN

THE FIRST ERNEST JOINT CALL FOR PROPOSAL 2010 WAS OPEN TO SUBMISSION UNTIL DECEMBER 20^TH,2010 AND IS NOW IN THE EVALUTAION STAGE
 
The ERNEST partners have launched a joint call for interregional Collaborative Research Projects (CRPs) in the research area: "Sustainable tourism", with the aim to create collaborative, trans-national research opportunities that will derive new insights.

The beneficiaries of this JCP are eligible organizations operating in the ERNEST regions participating to the call (Basque Country and Catalunya in Spain, Emilia Romagna and Tuscany in Italy).

Successful proposals required the building of consortia of two or more partners based in two or more different ERNEST joint call countries.

The ERNEST initiative covers research funding which must focus on original excellent interregional and trans-national research in the selected themes, and must have an European-added value. A similar multidisciplinary and international approach in the field as the one developed in ERNEST JCP does not yet exist. This initiative will bring together the academic and the tourist industry research teams, hopefully enabling them to develop innovative, more sustainable tourist products, capable to enhance thecompetitiveness of the European tourism sector.
