This paper will serve as EARTO contribution to the European Commission’s public consultation on Joint Undertakings.
As one of the key missions of RTOs is to support industry, EARTO members are great supporters and beneficiaries of excellent collaborative research within Horizon 2020, including contractual Public Private Partnerships (cPPPs) and Joint Technology Initiatives (JTIs). EARTO hopesthat this short analysis will bring forward some further thinking on those instruments for the H2020 interim evaluation and FP9.
