EUROCORES Programmes

There are currently 32 active EUROCORES programmes where ESF is coordinating and promoting cross-disciplinary collaboration and scientific progress and

EUROCORES offers a diverse array of networking opportunities to the entire programme communities all year round; providing a platform to stimulate new research initiatives and to foster synergy with other national and European initiatives.

A typical EUROCORES Programme includes three main components :

1. Scientific Coordination and Monitoring
2. Networking and Integration
3. Programme Coordinators
