European policies on researchers’ mobility and innovation

Sažetak
From the beginning of the 21st century the European Union (EU) has been investing efforts into the development of its research and innovation systems, faced with statistics which have brought into question its place on the global market next to competitors from the United States of America and the Far East. In early 2000 the EU started creating the European Research Area, ERA, and has subsequently issued a number of documents and measures in order to advance and improve it. The main purpose of the European Research Area is to create a transnational research community, which would allow for free movement across states as well as knowledge sharing and knowledge transfer. The expected outcome is that this unity in research, along with the transfer of knowledge and technology, will be the impetus needed for the advancement of the innovation system. Today ERA encompasses all EU Member States, as well as the countries associated with the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) – 39 countries in total, and is still developing. This paper examines the creation and development of the ERA on the basis of communications issued by the bodies of the EU, and the effect this initiative has had on researchers’ mobility and innovation.
