“Road Owners Getting to Grips with Climate Change” is a trans-national Joint Research Programme that was initiated by ERA-NET ROAD (ENR). The participating National Road Administrations (NRA) in this cross-border funded Joint Research Programme are Austria, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Sweden and United Kingdom. They establish the Programme Executive Board (PEB) with Sweden as the Programme Leader (PL) and Austria as the Programme Executive Chair (PEC).
The PEB uses the Common Obligation Programme Model from the “ENR toolkit” to perform this cross-border funded joint call for proposals. The call for proposals is announced in the supplement of the Official Journal of the European Commission and conducted by the Swedish Road Administration under Swedish law and regulations. The EUR 1,35 million budget for this 3 year Joint Research Programme is jointly funded by all 10 funding participants of the PEB. It is foreseen to fund five to fifteen projects.
The reference number of this programme is “ENR SRO3”, because it was initiated by ENR based on the Strategic Research Opportunity (SRO) number 3.
