EU research and innovationTurning the eyes

Most of the efforts these last 30 years in R&D were directly linked to industrial policies. In Europe:

In the eighties, the eyes were turned towards Japan: technology push (cf. “Framework Programme”)

In 2000, the eyes were turned towards USA: competitiveness push (cf. Lisbon Strategy)

Today: importance of information technologies, sustainability, social innovation and demand-pull measures – Europe 2020 strategy

3

European research and innovationA key EU policy

Research and Innovation: Third EU policy in budgetary terms (after CAP and Structural funds including more and more RTD&I)

FP7: Major instrument for intensification of EU research collaboration

Research and Innovation as a major instrument to recover the crisis effects
