Recommendations of the Lisbon Expert Group (June
2008)

• 1. Linking Lisbon and ERA Knowledge needs to be
  re-introduced as a driving force of the Lisbon
  strategy and ERA needs to be integrated into the
  broader policy agenda of the Lisbon strategy
• 2. There is a need for further support for policy
  experimen-tation within a new conceptual
  framework for knowledge policies this calls for
  more strategic policy intelligence
• 3. To evolve towards more intra-European
  perspectives in knowledge policies, the Costs of
  non-ERA and the benefits of ERA need to become
  more visible
• 4. There is an urgency to design and implement
  more efficient Community and Member States policy
  mixes, with variable geometry approaches
