Purpose and Motivation
LEAP4NFSSA is about identifying and collectively solving problems and realizing opportunities. It is a framework for cooperation, and we want you to be an active part of it. We first want to develop the research and innovation agenda and take stock of the core competences. The purpose of this survey is to gather information for agenda setting. In a second step we intend to forge alliances for developing and implementing research and capacity development projects. Please fill the core competence form to make sure that you are on board.

This is a collective and democratic process aimed at building consensus around the research and innovation agenda. To give every participant an equal opportunity to have their voice heard, we will anonymize the information you provide before it is forwarded to the working groups for analysis and preparation of the summary reports.
