Such an ERA should inspire the best talents to enter research careers in Europe, incite industry to invest more in Europeanresearch contributing to the EU objective to devote 3% of GDP for research, and strongly contribute to the creation of sustainable growth and jobs.
Seven years on, the creation of ERA has become a central pillar of the EU 'Lisbon Strategy' for growth and jobs, together with the completion of the Single Market, the European 'broad-based innovation strategy' and the creation of a European Higher Education Area.
For this reason, The European Commission has published a Green Paper on ERA reviewing progress made, where it still needs to be made and raising questions for debate.
The ERA can be likened to a research and innovation equivalent of the European "common market" for goods and services.
Its purpose is to increase the competitiveness of Europeanresearch institutions by bringing them together and encouraging a more inclusive way of work, similar to what already exists among institutions in North America and Japan.
Increased mobility of knowledge workers and deepened multilateral co-operation among research institutions among the Member States are central goals of the ERA.
