National Contact Points
 
All EU member states and associated countries have national contact points to assist researchers in identifying research centres, teams and individual researchers, upcoming events and partnership opportunities in a wide range of particular fields. They also assist researchers in preparing competitive applications to funding programs (please see the complete list of NCPs in Europe below).

NCPs in Canada

In Canada, and other countries outside the EU, national contact points are referred to as “national information points.” ERA-Can and the Mission of Canada to the European Union, in Brussels, serve as coordinators for national information points in Canada. At present, Canada has two national information points to assist Canadian and European researchers:
