Aim: This paper reports on work undertaken to achieve an application for monies from the European Commission’s 6th Framework Programme by some key stakeholders, working with a nursing and midwifery research agenda at national policy levels. Background: A short outline of the European Commission’s European Research Area Network scheme is given in order to set the paper in context, and the vision underpinning the application is discussed. Conclusion: The paper describes the processes that were undertaken to bring to fruition such collaborative work, and some key lessons are outlined. Seeking opportunities to enhance nursing and midwifery research within a European context gives value to the application, which was ultimately successful.
