The European Commission invites citizens and other stakeholders to contribute to the development of the European Research Area (ERA) by participating in the online ERA consultation. The consultation takes the form of a questionnaire, the contents of which reflect and expand upon the questions and issues raised in the Green Paper “The European Research Area: New Perspectives”.

The results of the online consultation will be used by the Commission, in conjunction with other inputs, to support proposals for the future development of ERA. These proposals will be published in 2008.

The public consultation was launched on 1 May 2007 and will be open until 31 August 2007.
