The aim of the Joint Program-ming process is to pool national research efforts in order to make better use of European precious public research and development resources and to tackle common European challenges more effectively in a few key areas. Joint programming is a structured and strategic process whereby Member States agree, on a voluntary basis and in a partnership approach, on common visions and Strategic Research Agendas (SRA) to address major societal challenges. On a variable geometry basis, Member States commit to Joint Programming Initiatives (JPIs) where they implement together joint Strategic Research Agendas.
