This study mapped and analyzed available data sources, identified overlaps and gaps, and developed strategies with a timeline to seamlessly link these sources, simplifying data collection for the Observatory’s development. 

The European Commission, DG Research and Innovation, Directorate A, has tasked an independent expert consortium led by TECHNOPOLIS with producing the ERA Monitoring Reports 2024. These reports are based on existing sources, including the ERA Dashboard indicators, the ERA Policy Platform, and additional desk research. 

The project’s primary objectives include evaluating the impact of the Research and Innovation Foundation’s (RIF) National Framework Programmes for Research, Technological Development, and Innovation (RTDI), as well as Cyprus's participation in the EU Framework Programmes.

OPIX is a key participant in the consortium behind the Smart Specialisation Strategy (S3) Community of Practice, an initiative funded by the European Commission to strengthen national and regional Smart Specialisation Strategies for research and innovation.
