The Slovenian Society of Evaluators (SDE) and GeoZS presented the results of an analysis of 22 evaluation studies of the European Research Area Network (ERA-NET). They highlighted the systemic weakness of neglecting cross-disciplinary networking, which reinforces disciplinary approaches and undermines the synergistic potential of these networks. As an example of good practice, our colleagues Jasna Šinigoj and Barbara Simić presented the European research project project GeoERA (2018-2021).
