The European Research Area

“Lisbon 2000”: ..to become the most competitive and dynamic

knowledge-based economy in the world by 2010…

“Towards a European Research Area” “Barcelona 2002”

..increase R&TD investment towards 3% of GDP by 2010


Why a European Research Area?

Today: European Research = 15+1 (15 MS+EU) EU enlargement

Thus Need to improve spending of scarce resources Need to organise research better Need to move to a real European research

policy


EU

Candidate countries:•Bulgaria•Cyprus•Estonia•Hungary•Latvia•Lithuania•Malta•Poland•Czech Republic•Romania•Slovenia•Slovakia

Associated Countries:•Island•Israel •Norway•Switzerland•Turkey

Participation in EU Research


Making ERA a reality Elaborating a research policy beyond the 15+1

approach Optimise resources and facilities at european level More co-ordinated use of public resources and

instruments More dynamic private investment Bring public and private research closer Improve exploitation of research results and capacities A dynamic European landscape open and attractive to

researchers and investment Increase RTD spending to 3% of GDP by 2010

FP6 - Towards the European Research Area

The European Research Area (ERA)

A blueprint for the future of research in Europe Broad support at the highest political, scientific

and industrial level Currently being implemented

The sixth framework programme (FP6) instrumental in implementing the ERA EUR 17.5 billion (3.9% of EU’s 2001 budget,

~ 6% of EU’s public civilian research budget)


FP6 adoption timetable

21 February 2001 Commission proposal 30 May 2001 Specific programmes 14 November 2001 First reading at EP 10 December 2001 Political agreement at Council 28 January 2002 Common position at Council 15 May 2002 2nd reading and approval at EP 3 June 2002 Adoption November 2002 Launch conference 17 December 2002 First call for proposal published


FP6 - (2002-2006)

Three major principles: Concentration on 7 selected priority areas Structuring effect on research activities Simplified and streamlined implementation

Overall Budget: EUR 17.5 billion (+17% nominal, +8.8% real, over FP5 budget) 16 270 Mio Euros for EC 1 230 Mio Euros for EURATOM


FP6 organised around 3 blocs of actions

Focusing and Integrating Community Research 13345 7 thematic priorities (11285) other activities including specific measures for

SMEs (1300) non nuclear part of JRC activities (760)

SMEs in FP6

430 Mio EURO allocated for Co-operative research (ex-CRAFT) and Collective research

Political will to allocate 15% of thematic priorities budget to SMEs

Due to limited specific budget (430 M€), SMEs are encouraged to participate in non SME specific projects (IP, NoE, STREP….)


Specific Measures for SMEs in FP6

Co-operative research activities (ex-CRAFT)research carried out by research centres for SMEs in different EU countries on themes of common interest, or by high-tech SMEs in collaboration with research centres or universities

Collective research activitieslarge-scale medium-term research carried out by research centres for industrial associations or groupings in entire sectors of industry dominated by SMEs at European level
