Community policies, bearing on the interests of the existing Member States as well as Candidate countries.

Support to Community policies as an integrated activity:Targeted precisely on needs (demand-driven)

Integrated across policy areas (e.g: environment & health, agriculture-forestry- sustainability)

Sensitive to changes in policy requirements as they occur

Flexible programming for the Work Programme Choice of initial priorities based on

A progressive incorporation of new priorities in the work programme

A progressive allocation of the budget

Allowing :

expression of current needs (Commission’s DGs, Political actors of MS, S/T experts)

prioritisation process

Instruments

Specific Support Actions (conferences, workshops, expert groups, studies)

Co-ordination Actions

Specific Targeted Research Projects

This Priority is open to “traditional instruments”

Implementation Budget : 340 M€ from which 265 M€ are presently allocated

Well-specified WP, complemented by a detailed task description document in the guide for proposers

One call per year Possibility of “emergency” calls (e.g.. on SARS)

Work programme:

Scientific Support to PoliciesScientific Support to Policies

First call for proposals published on December 17, 2002 with a deadline March 13, 2003

Second call for proposals expected in October 2003 with a deadline 3 months later

What do we hope to achieve ?

Effective implementation of the European Research Area by encouraging a specific “playing field” for research to support all EU policies

Systemic improvement in the relationships between research and policy at all levels in the EU

A more coherent research base, reflecting the increasing integration of policies and the science that underpins them

Timely and effective scientific inputs to Community policies, with improved uptake of results at national and EU levels
