ERANETISATION

Resumo

‘Eranetisation’ is the latest term to join the overall academic and policy-making jargon of the European Studies. The term refers to the modalities of the socialisation and acculturation environment faced by various experts who are interested in the cutting-edge, context-specific, and societal challenge-driven advanced research and innovation solutions hosted by the European Research Area framework field. This supranational governance construct has developed its unique milieu with its own Bourdieusian field dynamics, performances grounded in this distinct post-Westphalian habitus, and understandings of its sui generis doxa. To turn towards the European Research Area in various capital pursuits means to expose oneself to the supranational steering structures and channel individual or institutional interests along the lines of the EU-defined issue framings and rules of engagement. However, ‘Eranetisation’ looks beyond these formalities. The study of ‘Eranetisation’ is meant to better grasp the full scope of the European Union’s intellectual resonance domestically and internationally in the advanced research, science, innovation, and technological advancement domains. ‘Eranetisation’ explains the attractiveness of the European Research Area. Through an in-depth enquiry into the collegial rapport-building routines, ‘Eranetisation’ elaborates that the European Research Area is a globally renowned magnet of the leading scientific achievements.
