Abstract
One of the main objectives of the European Commission (EC) since the 70s has been to coordinate research policies and to enhance the transnational cooperation in order to reach efficiency in terms of funding and to match with Europe’s economic ambitions. It has been addressed through a centralized approach managed by the EC and a decentralized approach through the cooperation of member states. Regarding the aviation sector, the centralized financing has been successfully implemented under the EU Research & Innovation Framework Programmes, while the decentralized approach has been less successful through the initiative Air Transport Net (AirTN) ERA-NET. The intention of this paper is to analyse the AirTN case study and its methodology to launch transnational calls, the results, and the reasons why it was not completely successful. Following the identification of these main barriers, we provide a list of suggestions that could have been implemented for a more successful outcome.
