Recherche

Ce site fait partie du portail Europa de la Commission européenne, qui présente tous les aspects des politiques et activités de l'Union européenne. Le site «Recherche» vise à proposer à un maximum de personnes des informations généralistes sur la recherche européenne, dans leur propre langue.

Magazine de l’Espace européen de la recherche, soucieux d’élargir le débat démocratique entre la science et la société, research*eu est rédigé par des journalistes professionnels indépendants. Il présente et analyse des projets, des résultats et des initiatives dont les acteurs, hommes et femmes, contribuent à renforcer et à fédérer l’excellence scientifique et technologique de l’Europe. Publié en anglais, français, allemand et espagnol, à raison de dix numéros par an, research*eu est édité par l’Unité Communication de la DG Recherche de la Commission européenne.

"EDACwowe" (European Data Center for Work and Welfare) is the META-DATA-SHELL for European research and policy making in the areas of work and welfare. EDACwowe gives information on and direct links to comparative and national, quantitative and qualitative data on work and welfare and closely related fields. EDACwowe is developed within the EU Network of Excellence 'Reconciling Work and Welfare in Europe' (RECWOWE), with the support of the EU 6th Framework Programme, the University of Tilburg (NL), and the Danish National Centre for Social Research SFI (DK)".

L’Observatoire en Réseau de l’Aménagement du Territoire Européen (ORATE) est mis en place pour encourager la politique de développement et créer une communauté scientifique européenne dans le domaine du développement territorial. L’objectif principal est de renforcer le corpus de connaissances général s’agissant des organisations territoriales, des tendances et des impacts de la politique dans une Union Européenne élargie.

Le portail Européen sur la Base de données des infrastructures de Recherche apporte des informations sur un grand nombre d’infrastructures de Recherche d’intérêt intra-européen dans tous les domaines de la science. Il recouvre les équipements, les ressources et les départements connexes qui sont utilisés par la communauté scientifique pour mener des recherches au plus haut niveau dans leurs domaines respectifs.

La Franche-Comté est une région de 16 202 Km² (3 % du territoire national). Constituée de quatre départements : le Doubs, le Jura, la Haute-Saône et le Territoire de Belfort, elle est située dans le quart Nord-Est de la France à proximité de grandes villes telles que Lyon et Strasbourg mais également de régions hautement industrialisées, comme la région Rhône-Alpes ou le land du Bade-Württemberg en Allemagne. La recherche publique en Franche-Comté, c'est près de 1200 chercheurs qui travaillent au sein de 40 laboratoires de l'Université de Franche-Comté, de l'Université de Technologie de Belfort-Montbéliard ou de l'Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Mécanique et des Microtechniques.

The Network on Civil Society and New Forms of Governance in Europe – the Making of European Citizenship aims at enhancing the understanding of social and democratic processes, citizenship and democratic participation in Europe.

The initiative intends to trigger the creation of a European spatial information infrastructure that delivers to the users integrated spatial information services. These services should allow the users to identify and access spatial or geographical information from a wide range of sources, from the local level to the global level, in an inter-operable way for a variety of uses. The target users of INSPIRE include policy-makers, planners and managers at European, national and local level and the citizens and their organisations. Possible services are the visualisation of information layers, overlay of information from different sources, spatial and temporal analysis, etc.

The INSPIRE Community Geoportal is Europe's Internet access point to a collection of geographic data and services within the framework of the infrastructure for Spatial Information in Europe (INSPIRE) Directive. INSPIRE aims at making available relevant, harmonised and quality geographic information to support formulation, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of policies and activities which have a direct or indirect impact on the environment.

The geoportal does not store or maintain the data. It acts as a gateway to geographic data and services, distributed around Europe, allowing users to search, view or, subject to access restrictions, download geographic data or use available services to derive information.

IMISCOE is a Network of Excellence uniting 23 established European research institutes and over 500 researchers from all European countries and of all branches of the economic and social sciences, the humanities and law in pursuit of studies under the themes of international migration, integration and social cohesion. Since its inception in 2004, IMISCOE has worked to:

• A unique infrastructure to develop innovative research programmes
• Promote high-quality training for PhD students
• Publish the results of research and exchange migration data and expertise

Le lexique rassemble les définitions normalisées des principaux termes de l’aménagement du territoire européen. Il regroupe des notions et des acronymes issus des textes officiels (traités, règlements, directives, rapports divers, etc) produits par les divers institutions et organismes européens.

EQUALSOC is a Network of Excellence funded by the European Union’s Sixth Framework Programme (duration: 1 September 2005 – 31 August 2010).
EQUALSOC has been created to mobilise and develop research expertise across Europe on economic change, quality of life and social cohesion.
Its aim is to stimulate high quality comparative European research on social cohesion and its determinants; encourage the development of additional research centres; provide an infrastructure for training the rising generation of young researchers in the skills of comparative research; and facilitate access to the most recent results of research for the wider research community and for policy makers.
The central focus is on social cohesion and its dependence on social differentiation, assessing the relationships between the growing importance of knowledge in the economy, the different chances that individuals and groups experience with respect to the quality of life, and social cohesion.
Drawing upon the organisational experience acquired in previous successful EU networks, EQUALSOC is using a rich array of data from national research programmes and a European Social Survey module it participated in constructing.

Governance for Sustainability (G-FORS), a three year research project which brings together EURA members started in February 2006. The project funded by The EU Commission's Research Framework Programme 6 priority 7 (Citizens and Governance in a Knowledge-Based Society - The Implications of European Integration and Enlargement for Governance and the Citizen) brings together the Metropolregion of Hannover, EUROCITIES as well as ten universities and research institutes.

CORDIS is an interactive Web-site that links together policy makers, managers of the European Union R&D activities with key players in research and industry. It provides in-depth coverage of European, national and regional research programmes as well as covering a wide range of innovation services. This helps to bridge Community and national policies on research, innovation and SMEs and to foster links between academia and industry across national and sectoral borders.

One of the primary aims of the network is to develop a robust knowledge base on social work, service users, policy, practice and education across Europe.
