Continuous Monitoring of ERNs: Data submitted for Semester 1 of 2020

The VASCERN Coordination and Project Management team submitted the data for the 18 core ERN indicators required by the European Commission for the first semester of 2020!

This monitoring exercise is extremely important in order to demonstrate the value of the ERNs and provide sound data to external stakeholders on what the ERNs are doing and the benefits they are bringing to EU citizens. It is therefore essential in ensuring the future and sustainability of the ERNs.

The data collection exercise corresponding to the 1^st semester of 2020 took place between the 1^st and the 31^st of October, 2020. We equally put a new data collection and validation system into place, which includes many of our indicators being displayed on the VASCERN website.

The analysis of this data will be performed in November 2020 by the European Commission, and presented to the ERN Coordinators Group and Board of Member States. The outcomes will then be made public for the first time in December 2020.

The data collection exercice for the second semester of 2020 will be opened in March 2021.

The 18 monitoring indicators collected by the ERNs can be found in the Continuous Monitoring of ERNs document, here.

We thank all of our members for providing us with data on various indicators and for their amazing work during this unusual and challenging year!
