The European Network of National Programmes (ENNP) is an advisory body to the EDCTP-EEIG Assembly as well as to EDCTP's other constituencies on the integration of the National Programmes of the EDCTP member states into a joint programme. The ENNP consists of representatives of the European national programmes and develops proposals to coordinate and join national activities and funding. These representatives are called European Networking Officers (ENOs).
The tasks of the ENNP can be divided into external and internal tasks. The external tasks are:
- Analyse and compare national funding mechanisms
- Identify gaps, overlaps and potential synergies between national programmes
- Develop strategies and proposals for harmonisation and European networking
- Advise on mechanisms for cofunding
- Help implement these strategies
- Coordinate networking activities on behalf of member states.
Internal tasks:
- Promote the goals of EDCTP within the member states
- Assist in the allocation of funding for EDCTP-related activities
- Network with each other and if possible network the scientific communities in each country
- Help foster links between scientists from their own and other countries
- Advise on how to promote broad participation of EDCTP member states in joint activities.
