The NearUS initiative is establishing a Network of European Research and Innovation Centres throughout the United States. It acts as a central contact point for European research and innovation actors seeking to grow and reinforce collaboration across the Atlantic. The mission of the Network is to provide standardised as well as tailor-made, research & innovation internationalisation support services to European researchers and innovators, to accelerate access to the US market, and maximise chances of success.

In order to ensure that the support services it offers meet the real and unmet needs of European researchers and innovators, NearUS is convening a Focus Group of stakeholders represent the three commercially viable technology maturity levels addressed by NearUS: Research2Research (R2R), Research2Market (R2M) and Business2Business (B2B).
