EU-ANSA agencies' engagement in the EU research knowledge cycle

The EU–ANSA conducted a survey to map how its member agencies engage with EU research funders and researchers in the research knowledge cycle, which is conceptualised as a sequence of identification of research needs, as advocacy of these needs to EU research funders, as assistance in the assessment of research proposals and as an engagement with ongoing EU research projects. The survey is the basis for discussion about the engagement of agencies in the research knowledge cycle, further elaborated by case studies illustrating good practice examples by agencies, leading to some general conclusions and suggestions.
