BackgroundPhilosophy - 1
ERA = European Research Area• concept and vision, political initiative by Commissioner Philippe Busquin (January 2000)
Objectives: • new impetus for Research and Technological Development (RTD)• RTD as key factor for European innovation• complementarity between Member States (MS) and EU measures (co-ordination of national activities, increased “attractiveness”, strengthening of human resources and mobility)
Background: Philosophy - 2
Instrument for implementation of the ERA:
European Framework Programme
FP13.3 Bill. €
1984-1987
FP24.4 Bill. €
1987-1991
FP36.6 Bill. €
1990-1994
FP413.2 Bill. €
1994-1998
FP514.9 Bill. €
1998-2002
FP617.5 Bill. €
2002-2006
Legal basis
Treaty of European Community, Art. 166:
The Union shall establish a multi-annual “Framework programme” for research…
Guiding Principles of the FPs
• financing of research projects between partners from different European countries• cost-sharing between EU and project participants• multi-disciplinary projects• project selection based on competitive calls and peer review• additional evaluation criteria such as training, sustainable development, gender equality
FP7 – The Commission‘s proposal
• 6 April 2005
The European Commission publishes it‘s official proposal for the 7th European Research Framework Programme
– continuity – simplification– significant budget raise– to cover seven years (2007-2013)
financial perspective
Financial Perspective
= EU's revenue and expenditure ceilings for the period 2007-2013
One major issue: • the Commission has asked for: 1.14% of
EU GNI• several member states want to 'cap' the
EU's expenditures to 1% GNI

Joint Technology Initiatives (JTI)
NEW
Instruments FP6 FP7
Cooperation Activity Type: Joint Technology
Initiatives• Goal: setting-up of a long-term public private partnership
• Initiatives– mainly result from the work of European Technology Platforms– cover one or a small number of selected aspects of research in their field – will combine private sector investment and national and European public
funding – will be decided on the basis of separate proposals
(e.g. on the basis of Art. 171)
• Criteria for identification include:– added value of European-level intervention;– the degree and clarity of definition of the objective to be pursued;– strength of the financial and resource commitment from industry; – scale of the impact on industrial competitiveness and growth; – importance of the contribution to broader policy objectives; – capacity to attract additional national support and leverage current or
future industry funding; – inability of existing instruments to achieve the objective
Cooperation Activity Type: Joint Technology
Initiatives
Identified themes (COM proposal)
• Hydrogen and Fuel Cells for a Sustainable Energy Future
• Innovative Medicines for the Citizens of Europe• Aeronautics and Air Transport• Embedded systems• Global Monitoring for Environment and Security• Towards new Nanoelectronics Approaches
other possible themes to be identified later…
Cooperation Activity Type: Coordination of
non-Community research programmes
• ERA-Net Scheme: ERA-Net / ERA-Net PLUS – Providing a framework for actors implementing public research
programmes to step up the coordination of their activities. This will include support for new ERA-NETs as well as for the broadening and deepening of the scope of existing ERA-NETs, e.g. by extending their partnership, as well as opening mutually their programmes;
– Providing additional EU financial support to those participants that create a common fund for the purpose of joint calls for proposals between their respective national and regional programmes (“ERA-NET PLUS”).
• Art. 169 – Participation of the Community in national research programmes
jointly implemented on the basis of Article 169: European co-operation on a large scale in “variable geometry” between Member States sharing common needs and/or interests.
Cooperation Activity Type: International
Cooperation
International Science and Technology policywith two interdependent objectives:
1. Supporting and promoting European competitiveness through strategic research partnerships with third countries including highly industrialised and emerging economies in science and technology by engaging the best third country scientists to work in and with Europe.
2. Addressing specific problems that third countries face or that have a global character, on the basis of mutual interest and mutual benefit.
Cooperation Activity Types: “Emerging” needs
and “Unforeseen policy needs”
• Emerging NeedsThrough specific support for spontaneous research proposals aiming at identifying or further exploring, in a given field and/or at the intersection of several disciplines, new scientific and technological opportunities, in particular linked with a potential for significant breakthroughs
• Unforeseen policy needsProviding the possibility to respond in a flexible way to new policy needs that arise during the course of the Framework Programme, such as unforeseen developments or events requiring a quick reaction like, the new epidemics, emerging concerns in food safety or natural disaster response.
