This document summarizes a presentation about Joint Programming Initiatives (JPIs) given by Dr. Pamela Byrne. JPIs are a new concept that involve member states collaborating voluntarily on common strategic research agendas to more effectively address major societal challenges. The presentation outlines what JPIs are, why they are needed given the fragmented state of European research funding, and how they will operate through common governance structures and strategic research agendas. An example JPI on "A Healthy Diet for a Healthy Life" is provided to illustrate how JPIs aim to tackle grand challenges through long-term visions and coordinated research among member states.
