Gross expenditures for R&D by source of origin: 1986-2005(absolute figures)

GERD (Gross domestic expenditure on research and development ) is total intramural expenditure on R&Dperformed on the national territory during a given period. It includes R&D performed within a country andfunded from abroad but excludes payments made abroad for R&D.

Projections of GERD by source of funding until 2020 (absolute figures)

Key targets:

1,5% R&Dintensity by 2020(i.e. GERD toreach 3.2 bnEuro)

BERD to reach40% of GERD by2020

Note: in order toreach the target of3,2 bn Euro forGERD in 2020 thereis a need ofadditional 3,38 bnEuro (GAP)throughout theperiod 2012-2020

Definitions and key assumptions (for previous slide)

Source of funding Key points / working assumptions

State (Ordinary Budget andPublic Investment Programmeexcluding EU funds)

Includes funding from central and decentralized state structures.Note that 60% of this funding is allocated to personnel fees in thehigher education and public research institutes. For the period2009-2012 a decrease in state funding is estimated due to therecession, restructuring of research institutes under way and cutsin civil servant salaries

Other national sources of

funding

Involves non-profit organisations, funds from own revenues

EU Structural Support Fundingand Initiatives (EU and nationalcontributions)

For the period 2007-2015 (2014 and 2015 involve residualpayments): data based on projected allocation of a total of 1,069 bneuro structural funds (ESPA) for R&D. For the period 2014-2020,there is a working assumption of at least 1 billion euro in total.

EU competitive programmes (Framework Programmes) (EUcontribution only)

For 2007-2013, the participation of Greek entities is estimated to beapprox 3% in the 7th Framework Programme (i.e. 1,5 bn euro out of50 bn euro). For the period 2014-2020, in the context of the futureHorizon Programme that will have approx. 80 bn euro, Greekparticipation is projected to be 3% (i.e. 2,4 bn euro).

Other sources of funding fromabroad

GBAORD (GovernmentBudget Appropriationsor Outlays for R&D) areall appropriationsallocated to R&D incentral government orfederal / regionalbudgets.In essence it refers topublic funding (allsources of fundingexcept enterprises)

that is budgeted forR&D.\

GUF to declinegradually from 40%to 30% of publicfunding

6 key priority sectorsto receive 40% ofpublic funding

Other (non priority)sectors to receive17% of publicfunding

21/29

The purpose of ESPEK

According to the new law for RDI (current draft):

The aim of ESPEK is to enhance and improve the contribution of RDItowards the promotion of new innovative products and services thatare globally competitive and to contribute to the economic growth ofthe country in general.

The purpose of ESPEK is to promote RDI activities in specific fields

that will boost the countrys economy and meet key societal needs.(RDI as a means/driver not an aim in itself)

In this context, ESPEK should be developed taking into account:

Required changes in Greeces economic model

Undergoing reforms in the public sector

Key sectors of the economy that can benefit from R&D

New societal circumstances and needs as a result of the economiccrisis

21


22/29

The scope of ESPEK

According to the provisions of the draft new law for RTDI(that canbe adjusted if needed):

ESPEK is a Framework Programme that will be the reference point forall: R&D programmes, Publicly funded R&D Activities and initiatives,Policy measures, Funding mechanisms.

the idea is that all of the above are aligned to ESPEK (in particular the

strategic R&D goals for the country) and their impact measuredcollectively (whereas today there are several dispersed andunsynchronized efforts)

Time frame: 2014-2018 (5 year period)

ESPEK should identify:

At a strategic level the R&D goals & priorities of Greece The key means (financial means, policy measures, specific R&D

programmes etc) to attain these goals within the given timeframe

Performance indicators in order to measure the extent to which thegoals have been realized

22


23/29

Based on Ministry of Education document on new RTDI policy:

Axis: RTDI excellence and capacity (in terms of human resources andinfrastructures). / :

Axis: Interconnecting R&D with the business sector in order to promoteinnovation. /

Axis: Externalization & International collaboration. / ,

Axis: Science, Education and Society/

To focus RTDI in sectors of priority that will advance socio-economic

development: Materials and Chemicals

Agrobiotechnology and Food

ICTs and knowledge-intensive services

Health and bio-health

Energy and environment

23

The strategic RTD goals RTDI goals for Greece


24/29

The key stakeholders of ESPEK

At the policy formulation level the key stakeholders (policy-makers) are:

1.Ministry of Education / GSRT:

RDI policy co-ordination

Policy measures such as tax cuts for companies with R&D activities

Management of EU-funded R&D programmes (approx. 888 million Euro in theperiod 2007-2013 from ESPA)

Oversight of a state-owned research and technology centres (not all)2. Other ministries (ie. Ministry of Development: new Investment Law, start-up Greece initiative, Ministry of Defence etc.)

3. Regional Authorities

How will they benefit from ESPEK:

ESPEK will enable policy makers to have a reference point for thedevelopment of policy measures and specific R&D programmes and mostimportantly to co-ordinate their activities.

25/29

At the beneficiary level :

The direct stakeholders are:

Academic institutions

Research institutions

Businessesvia their participation in R&D projects etc.

Indirect stakeholders are:

Society at large as an end-user of new services and products

25

Beneficiary stakeholders & key benefits from ESPEK


26/29

Understanding of the current socio-economic situation. Key needsand challenges/priorities for growth. Need for a new socio-economic model.

Analysis of the current R&D environment (SWOT analysis).

Analysis of the sources of funding, trends in GERD in the previous

years (first part of this presentation) Lessons learned from the implementation of previous strategic

documents (i.e. the strategy for ESPA-ETAK 2007-2013) and whatshould be avoided.

Based on international experience, to determine how R&D can

foster economic growth in a measurable way. Review of international best practices of other countries (ideally of

similar size and structural composition). Identify what can apply inGreece.

26

The key inputs required for ESPEK


27/29

The National Strategic Framework Programme for Research,Technical Development and Innovation (ESPEK) should beavailable by the end of 2012

Its development (and subsequent implementation) will besuccessful only if it involves all key stakeholders in RTDI (publicauthorities, R&D and business communities etc.).

In particular the thematic research councils () should be greatlyinvolved

G.S.R.T. will develop ESPEK in consultation with ESET.

The ESPEK will be subject to open (online) consultation

27

Method for the development of ESPEK


28/29

Development of working document (first draft of ESPEK) byG.S.R.T for discussion with TES by January 2012

Working groups expanding each sector of priority involving 3-4member of the corresponding TES January-March 2012

Formulatation of integrated version of ESPEK by end May 2012 Open (online) consultation of the proposed ESPEK June-

September 2012

Final ratification of ESPEK in the parliament by November 2012

Timetable for the development of ESPEK


29/29

In order to meet the 1,5 % R&D intensity target by 2020, RDI needs to be a top priority for

the Government + it is necessary to identify the sources of funding to cover the Gap soas to reach the above target

It is evident, that the 2% R&D target is unrealistic. The National Reform Programme() should be adjusted to reflect the 1,5 % target (in particular if the allocation ofEU structural funds is linked to meeting the goals of the Programme.

It is important to decide how ESPEK will be implemented i.e. via:

Annual or bi-annual vertical R&D programmes that are priority sector based (thatcould be based on the experience of FP7 Co-operation Thematic work-programmes)

Annual or bi-annual horizontal programmes (i.e. support for human resources,infrastructures across sectors)

Combination of both vertical and horizontal programmes

It is necessary to foresee a mechanism for the periodic re-definition of priority sectorsin order to ensure they meet the socio-economic needs of the country

At a policy level, key measures need to be designed and taken in order to:

Motivate/attract private sector expenditures in R&D (in order to reach the 40% targetof GERD)

Link the allocation of funding to universities (via GUFs) to performance indicators

Motivate researchers / address the brain drain issue

Cultivate demand for R&D research in the 6 priority sectors
