Processing -Biotechnology-Space
- Access to risk finance - Innovation in SMEs
Excellence in the Science Base- Frontier research (ERC)- Future and Emerging Technologies (FET)- Skills and career development (Marie Curie)- Research infrastructures
Shared objectives and principles
Common rules, toolkit of funding schemes
Europe 2020 priorities
European Research Area
Simplified access
International cooperation
Dissemination & knowledge tranfer
Tackling Societal Challenges- Health, demographic change and wellbeing- Food security and the bio-based economy- Secure, clean and efficient energy- Smart, green and integrated transport- Supply of raw materials- Resource efficiency and climate action- Inclusive, innovative and secure societies
2012: A transition year towards H2020
• Technology matured but critical issues to be solved (EU enterprise competitiveness, Future Manufacturing, the rise of the digital society, transition to a new paradigm for our society, etc.)
• New research programmes, end of FP7, revision of the DAE, re-orientation of the priorities for the research family to cope with societal challenges
• A WP in 2013 (CfP)• But also new opportunities…
– Focus on innovation– Entrepreneurship – EU manufacture– New instruments, simplification– Change, change, change!
FInES Cluster Strategy for 2012
• Scope: Re-focus and reach out based on a clear vision of the domain (FInES Position Paper)
• Mission: for 2012: We target business value innovation in open paradigms, structurally embedded in future enterprise systems
• Toolbox: 14 Task Forces, 19 projects, a support project (ENSEMBLE), massive online presence… and a dynamic & committed community!
• Evaluation: cluster KPI to measure progress• Risk analysis?
Catalysing the Competitiveness of European Enterprises
FInES Areas of Activity 1/4
• Policy– Objective: Supporting change of culture
“Everyone can be an enterprise”, promoting the value of Collaboration & Innovation – framed into the EU policy context
– Plan is needed: • Promoting our work (internally and externally)• Investing efforts in reaching out to other
communities (DAE, horizontal innovation actions, International, clusters) but also the socio-economic circles
• Focusing on key subjects (as FInES Position Paper and Research Roadmap)
FInES Areas of Activity 2/4
• Research – Objective: Building a world-class community of
multi-disciplinary researchers (focused and proposing only AV research) for our domain
– Plan based on our Research Roadmap is needed:
• Building a Science base / common understanding (scientific publications…)
• Targeting and reinforcing our industry dimension• Encouraging disruptive and bottom-up research
(grass-root innovation, arts, digital entrepreneur.)
• Focused on the network circle (the Network is the Enterprise)
FInES Areas of Activity 3/4
• Dissemination– Objective: Reinforcing our visibility & reaching
out to new communities (int’l, regional network, FI-PPP) through our TF
– Communication plan is needed: • Cluster publications (Research Roadmap)• Scientific publications (CTF and SP TF) - Guidelines• Events participation (CEBIT – Technology TF) and
Workshops organisation (FIA Aalborg, Princeton, others?) - Guidelines
• Web presence (more videos) and social media - Gdl
FInES Areas of Activity 4/4
• Exploitation – Objective: Demonstrating our value
proposition (to policy makers, to users, to citizens)
– Exploitation plan is needed: • Impact creation (industry, SMEs, change of
culture) through use cases and showcases –value of collaboration. Need for clear standardisation plan.
• Results exploitation (adoption of results: regional link, targeted associations): shared assets, bag of assets, visualization of assets (people, knowledge, etc.)
Next steps
• Adoption and publication of the FInES Strategy and Action Plan (ENSEMBLE with collective support)
• Enacting identified initiatives• Preparations for FInES key events• Major Reports ahead (RR, TF, etc.)• Next cluster meeting: TD (March
2012)• Celebrate the end of the year!
