The European Research Area (ERA) is a framework established by the European Union to enhance collaboration and coordination in research and innovation across its member states. It aims to create a unified space where researchers can work together, share knowledge, and access funding more easily, thereby boosting scientific excellence and competitiveness in Europe. ERA promotes the free movement of researchers, research data, and technology, ensuring that all countries can benefit from advancements in science. By fostering partnerships between academia, industry, and public institutions, the ERA seeks to address societal challenges and support sustainable development across the European Union.
