The overall objective of the project was to expand, update and continuously improve the international dimension of ERAWATCH so that it covers all countries with which the European Union has a Science and Technology Agreement and certain additional countries covered by the European Neighbourhood Policy. The project was divided into two phases: phase I for the period 2010-2011, and Phase II between 2011-2014.

The services Technopolis Group provided throughout the project included: quality management and monitoring; validating and controlling country fiches, selected templates, and analytical reports. Technopolis Group consultant Lorena Rivera León was the country correspondent for Mexico between 2010-2014, and the country correspondent for Chile between 2012-2014.

Technopolis Group found that the idea of centralised reporting on the R&D&I policies of the 21 countries had considerable value.
