Collaborative Programmes (CPs) represent ECRA core activities. The CPs are collaborative efforts of ECRA partners, aiming to identify key research topics of high scientific relevance, and to establish new frameworks of coordinated international research. CP outputs are promulgated through publications, i.e. whitepapers and work plans.

A CP may be subdivided into working groups depending on its scope. These sub-groups would have research goals and milestones complementary to the overall research goals of the CP, and could include a number of collaborative projects or activities.

There are currently four major research topics synonymous with ECRA CPs:

Workshops of the Collaborative Programmes

ECRA member institutions host regular CP Workshops (1-2 per year). The workshops are coordinated by one or two chairs of the CP and are supported by the ECRA secretariat. ECRA Workshops serve as platforms for climate scientists to share knowledge and to define the critical future research needs. Workshops are open to all scientists, including those working at ECRA’s member institutions, non-ECRA member institutions, as well as all who may be interested. ECRA workshops are always free of charge and consist of comprehensive science sessions; include presentations of case studies, climate initiatives, and discussions CP strategy, etc. There are typically 20-30 participants.
