• Rising Asia – 8 billion people by 2025; 2/3 in Asia, 7% in EU (decrease in
EU population as of 2012)– Centre of gravity of world production will move to Asia
(35% vs 32% of EU)– By 2025 USA & Europe could lose S&T supremacy for
benefit of Asia (India & China could account for 20% of world’s R&D; Asia main destination for location of business R&D)
• In crucial areas to Europe’s future welfare (energy, sustainable development & climate change, health, food safety..) at stake is access to global knowledge, development of global standards, diffusion of new technology..
• Move from “brain drain” to “brain circulation”

• Increasing scarcity of natural resources (potential “oil peak”, 3 billion people missing water by 2025) & vulnerability of planet (c.f. potential Climate Change impacts), tensions between: – Production & consumption patterns
– Production/consumption patterns & natural resources (energy, water, agricultural land, materials science)
• Demographic & resource challenges could lead to:– a new “socio-ecological” production & consumption model
(renewable energy, nuclear power & hydrogen & fuel cells)
– Changes in social behaviour supported by economic incentives for drastic reduction in energy consumption
Are current National & EU policies up to the challenge?

National & EU Research policies in the post-2010 period

• Mixed picture at MS level – Of the 14 ‘catching up’ MS, only 5 have taken important
steps towards knowledge economy and none have managed to close gaps in terms of R&D & other knowledge indicators
– Considerable gaps, therefore, vis-à-vis the EU-27 average
• Multi-dimensional policy at EU-level – emphasis on both excellence & cohesion– EU added value via support for collaborative R&D– Strengthening the ERA– Launching of European Research Council (ERC) – emphasis
on competition & excellence– Catalysing activities at MS level (Art.169), increasing R&D
investments by public & private sectors (Joint Technology Initiatives)

• “Bolder”– Orienting R&D to the resolution of societal/grand
challenges & development of new markets
• “Better”– Improving the efficiency & effectiveness of
national research systems and the ERA
• “Bigger”– Investment in research & research infrastructure
to be expanded

• Strengthening frontier research & competition
• Taking a global lead in development of enabling technologies (e.g. bio, info, materials, nano)
• Bringing together supply- and demand- side measures to support both business development & public policy goals
• Excellence & well-networked knowledge institutions
• The creation & maintenance of world class research infrastructures
• A risk-tolerant & trust based approach in research funding

• Multi-disciplinarity; no longer one technique in one place;
• Emerging role of informal scientific collaborations in a networked world (vs established bureaucracies of research)
• Open Access to data• New emphasis on research process itself
rather than single, perfect new innovation (as innovations come in unpredictable ways through continuous interactions) – towards “science as a service mentality”

e-Infrastructures: fundamental aspect of all Roadmap RI..
Three groups of facilities distinguished: • Those which fundamentally are e-Infrastructure -
based (e.g. all Social Sciences & Humanities, ELIXIR, EPOS) - therefore e-Infrastructure aspects key to address
• Distributed facilities, which need e-Infrastructures to work (e.g. interlink their parts)
• Those for which e-Infrastructures will be important at least for data acquisition, processing & distribution to users

Thank you!
