Support to EuroGEO initiative coordination/establishing a EuroGEO secretariat

Summary

This action aims to prepare the transition of the existing EuroGEO initiative into a sustainable endeavour, by setting up a secretariat.

Detailed Call Description

The successful proposal should propose actions for the secretariat to:

  • Further strengthen and promote the three EuroGEO priorities: combining, cooperating and coordinating;
  • Serve as the basis for evidence-informed allocation of research funding by monitoring ongoing research funding activities in Europe and beyond;
  • Provide professional support in organising EuroGEO events and meetings of EuroGEO bodies (Coordination Group and Action Groups);
  • Guide the dialogue with relevant stakeholders and initiatives and (further) build connections, including raising awareness of and interest in the EuroGEO initiative.
