How can institutions, which are not founding members, get involved in EOREA? During the three-year pilot phase, EOREA will launch thematic joint programmes where to align, de-fragment and possibly reduce activities duplication. The Joint programmes will be open to any public R&I and education institution willing to contribute. The EOREA Secretariat will act as entry point for the ones applying for membership willing to enter existing joint programmes or launch new ones.
