Strategic Research Agenda adopted
The management board has accepted the final SRA draft as the official SRA of JPIAMR. After several years of work and a very intensive 2013, the SRA is now finalized and will be made public in early 2014. The final version considers all the comments and input from the autumn public and national consultations and will serve as a base for JPIAMR activities for years to come. We would like to express our gratitude to all who have contributed to this very important document!
