The Community of Users has five key objectives:

• Ensuring that research programming (particularly H2020) takes account of practitioners' needs, thereby promoting research results that are relevant to them;

• Identifying the most promising tools and methods (including those developed in FP7 and H2020 projects) that have the potential to be taken up by practitioners;

• Support the competitiveness of EU industry by enhancing the market for research results;  

• Ensuring that practitioners' expertise is available to policy makers, thereby facilitating the policy-making process; 

• Facilitating the implementation of policy.
