paper), and potential relevant projects being conducted in academic  institutions; ii) Based on objective 2.i (above), list all relevant organisations that could serve  as potential partners of PERA along with the knowledge, expertise, data, tools  and methodologies they would bring either to PERA or for the transition to next  generation, systems-based ERA, or both;  iii) Based on objective 2.ii (above), identify the needs of the potential partners of  PERA in the field of regulatory ERA and for the development and implementation  of systems-based approaches for next generation ERA,  as well as the needs of  PERA customers; iv) Assess differences, commonalities and complementarities of any existing ERA  partnerships of relevance to PERA and next generation, systems-based ERA  identified above, with PERA;  v) Assess the relevance of existing systems-based approaches for ERA identified  above, and their adequacy/suitability for next generation, systems-based ERA;  vi) Assess the strengths and weaknesses of IT platforms that can support PERA  identified above.  i) Identify relevant working areas additional to what is included in the theme  paper necessary to establish a systems-based approach for next generation  ERA. Provide a clear justification on their relevance by taking the  directions/opportunities into account as outlined in the theme paper (Annex 3);  ii) Identify any further development that is needed in the working areas identified  in the theme paper (i.e. scientific development and/or implementation of  specific policies);  iii) Identify directly relevant discontinuities and knowledge gaps with a clear  justification on their relevance to reach the desired vision by 2030 and impact  for EFSA;  iv) Perform an analysis of the relevance and added value of the working areas that  are listed in the theme paper as well as those additional ones that have been  identified (see objective 3i, above)  to achieve EFSA’s vision as defined in the  theme paper (Annex 3); v) Identify processes/methodologies and any other consideration of conducting  ERA that can be improved within the frame of regulated products under different  EU legislations and/or can benefit from sharing/accessing data, tools and  methodologies;  vi) Identify potential synergies that can add value to ERA methodologies in EU  frameworks. These could include, for example, the possibility of combining  predictive models and monitoring data in an integrated systems-based  approach; 8  Objective 3: Identifying areas requiring further development (e.g. requiring  further scientific development and/or implementation of specific policies)
