Transcription

1 Mid-term review of the 6th Framework Programme and the Lisbon agenda Seminar at Eötvös Loránd University Budapest 19 April 2005 Peter Härtwich Directorate Coordination of Community Actions DG Research, European Commission

2 Lisbon agenda the quintessence Solve the equation between economic growth, competitiveness and employment on the one hand, and social and environmental sustainability on the other The eminent role of knowledge: We cannot compete on the basis of exploitation of natural resources We cannot and do not want to compete at the expense of our environment We do not want to compete on the basis of cheap labour 2

3 S&T contributes to meeting the Lisbon objectives economic challenges: S&T contributes to economic growth and employment creation, and raises competitiveness evironmental challenges: S&T can create synergies between economic growth and environmental protection social challenges: S&T can fight poverty; improve human health (AIDS, tbc, SARS, ) and improve quality of life (GSM, remote working, safe roads, ) 3

4 but Europe should invest and perform more in R&D EU-25 US Japan R&D intensity (% of GDP) (3) Share of R&D financed by industry (%) (2) Researchers per thousand labour force (FTE) (3) Share of world scientific publications (%) (3) Scientific publications per million population (3) Share of world triadic patents (%) (1) Triadic patents per million population (1) High-tech exports as a share of total manufacturing exports (%) (3) Share of world high-tech exports (%) (2) Note: (1) 2000 data (2) 2002 data (3) 2003 data 4

5 but Europe needs improved co-ordination of research efforts Dispersed funding: John Hopkins University s spending on basic research exceeds the individual efforts of 18 EU Member States, and is greater than the combined efforts of the 10 new Member States EU Member States are outperformed by US states and multinationals R&D intensity EU Member States vs. top 10 US states: Sweden ranks only 6th, Finland does not reach top 10 R&D spending EU Member states vs. top 10 multinationals: Ford Motor spends more than Spain, Siemens spends more than Belgium, Toyota spends more than Finland, IBM exceeds the combined efforts of the 10 least spending EU Members States 5

6 Why should intervention take place at European level? Pooling and leveraging resources Resources are pooled to achieve critical mass Leverage effect on private investments Interoperability and complementarity of big science Fostering human capacity and excellence in S&T Stimulate training and international mobility of researchers Improve S&T capabilities Stimulate competition in research Better integration of European R&D Create scientific base for pan-european policy challenges Encourage coordination of national policies Effective comparative research at EU-level Efficient dissemination of research results 6

7 Previous FPs have had significant impacts on S&T and the economy The FP is a win-win game: for every 1 invested by a participating country in FP5, it benefited from an net return of 14.7 in terms of the total value of the contracts in which it participated (i.e. a knowledge multiplier of 14.7). FPs have generated significant economic benefits: for EU firms these include reduced commercial risk, increased turnover and profitability, enhanced productivity and market share. Econometric models show that the long run economic return to 1 invested in research at European level is between 4 and 7. FPs improve EU innovative performance: firms that participate in the FP tend to be more innovative, are more likely to patent and engage in innovative cooperation FPs improve EU scientific performance: studies in some research fields show that an FP project can generate up to 9 peer reviewed publications on average (mostly international co-publications). FPs have developed Europe s human potential: as well as schemes for EU wide training and mobility (over 7000 proposals for Marie Curie in 2004), thousands of researchers have participated in top trans-national teams, benefiting from training and knowledge sharing. 7

8 Previous FPs have had a strong impact on the integration of the ERA FPs have created hundreds of thousands of collaborative links between EU researchers: links under FP5 alone, including cooperation between academia, industry and public research laboratories. FPs have contributed to better coordination of national research efforts: ERA- NET in particular has enhanced coordination of national research in the EU. FPs have helped to overcome the fragmentation of the ERA: The average number of different MS participating in a single project has increased from 3 in FP2 to 6.7 in FP6. FP has concentrated research efforts through larger projects with critical mass: The average number of participants per project increased from 4.7 in FP2 to over 14 in FP6. The average EU funding per project rose from 1.2 million in FP2 to 4.6 million in FP6 FPs have attracted and brought together Europe s most outstanding scientists: e.g. 6 Nobel Prize winners were involved in FP6 fundamental genomics projects. FPs have made the ERA more attractive to researchers worldwide: The number of participating countries from across the world has increased from 30 in FP2 to 140 in FP5. 8

18 1 8 FP6 Mid-term assessment Marimon report and recommendations The New Instruments introduced in FP6 are a powerful means to foster transnational collaborative research in the European Research Area. The New Instruments should therefore be maintained in FP 7. There are however many design and implementation aspects that need to be improved Better differentiation of instruments according to their objectives, in particular STREPs and IPs Critical mass depends on the topic and does not necessarily mean large A greater budget for STREPs Further simplification of administrative procedures and financial rules

19 FP6 Mid-term assessment Commission response Corrective measures in FP6 : already adopted and implemented or to be adopted (those which do not imply a modification of the legal framework); Considerations for FP7: Working document on simplification Sounding board of smaller actors 1 9
