The following paper gives a summary of the European Commission's research policy with regard to the ERA-NET scheme and especially with regard to the ERA-AGE project that was launched in March 2004. All the partner institutions in the ERA-AGE project are main national funding agencies, research councils or ministries. Some selected examples of programme funding by the partner institutions may demonstrate their different ways of funding research and show the great variety of programmes. The long-term objective of the ERA-AGE project is to create a sustainable basis for the planning, implementation and exploitation of transnational research. In future, the European Research Area in Ageing could gain an added value from research investments by integrating existing funding mechanisms and research infrastructures, by commonly deciding on research priorities for funding activities in order to reduce fragmentation and duplication, and by the recruitment of young researchers.
以下论文概述了欧盟委员会关于欧洲研究区网络（ERA-NET）计划的研究政策，特别是关于2004年3月启动的“老龄化欧洲研究区”（ERA-AGE）项目的政策。ERA-AGE项目的所有合作伙伴机构均为主要的国家资助机构、研究理事会或政府部门。合作伙伴机构提供项目资金的一些选定示例，可能会展示其不同的研究资助方式，并呈现出项目的丰富多样性。ERA-AGE项目的长期目标是为跨国研究的规划、实施和应用创造可持续的基础。未来，老龄化领域的欧洲研究区可以通过整合现有资助机制和研究基础设施、共同确定资助活动的研究重点以减少分散和重复，以及招募年轻研究人员，从研究投资中获得附加值。
