2 A Rapidly Changing Context From a triad to a multipolar world STI increasingly internationally interconnected Most societal challenges are global in nature

3 Co-publication Linkages EU-USA USA remains strongest link but higher growth rate with emerging S&T powers

4 Drivers of international cooperation Need to access knowledge produced outside Europe and gain access to new markets Need to promote Europe as an attractive location and partner for research and innovation Need to join forces globally to tackle global challenges

5 International cooperation in FP7: taking stock 1) Multiple international cooperation activities: mixed success 2) Examples of progress: EDCTP: with African countries on HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis ITER: nuclear fusion energy reactor (with Japan, Russia, USA, Korea, ) HFSP: support for basic research, with 13 other countries 3) Room for improvement: Actions too often developed ad hoc Multiplication of activities missing critical mass Lack of coherence and synergies Confirmed by FP7 interim evaluation

6 EDCTP The European and Developing Countries Clinical Trials Partnership (EDCTP) is a partnership between ee 14 Member States, Switzerland, Norway and sub-saharan African countries aimed at tackling HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria By end 2011: approximately EUR 356 million (including co-funding) for 196 projects, over 300 fellowships and 57 clinical trials Total EU contribution ti to EDCTP is 200 mill EUR

7 GEANT GÉANT is the hub for research and education networks globally thanks to the funds from the Union (partially through its development cooperation instruments)

8 FP7 funding for international partners

9 Targeted topics in FP7

10 Grant agreements in FP7

11 ACP participation in FP7

12 International participation in FP7

13 International participation in FP7

14 International cooperation in FP7: taking stock 1) Multiple international cooperation activities: mixed success 2) Examples of progress: EDCTP: with African countries on HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis ITER: nuclear fusion energy reactor (with Japan, Russia, USA, Korea, ) HFSP: support for basic research, with 13 other countries 3) Room for improvement: Actions too often developed ad hoc Multiplication of activities missing critical mass Lack of coherence and synergies Confirmed by FP7 interim evaluation

15 New strategy for international cooperation in research and innovation Need to engage more actively and strategically in international cooperation: Three main objectives: Strengthen the Union's excellence and attractiveness in research and innovation as well as its industrial and economic competitiveness Tackle global societal challenges Support the Union's external policies Combining openness with better targeted actions Strengthened partnership with Member States Stronger contribution of research and innovation to external policies of the Union

16 Openness: Dual approach Horizon 2020 open to participation from across the world Revision to the list of countries which receive automatic funding Targeted actions: 1. Thematic: identifying areas for international cooperation on the basis of the Union's policy agenda 2. Differentiation by countries/regions to target partners for cooperation multi-annual roadmaps for cooperation with key partners

17 Thematic targeting Starting gpoint: Horizon 2020 societal challenges and enabling technologies Identify areas based on analysis of a set of criteria of the EU and potential partners: Research and innovation capacity Access to markets Contribution to international commitments, e.g. MDG or Rio+20 Frameworks in place to engage in cooperation (EU, international partners and MS) including lessons learnt from previous cooperation

18 Multi-annual roadmaps for cooperation with countries/regions Enlargement and neighbourhood countries, and EFTA Focus on alignment with the ERA Support enlargement and neighbourhood policies (support to developing a common 'Knowledge and Space') Industrialised countries and emerging economies Focus on competitiveness Tackle global challenges Business opportunities and access to new markets Developing countries Support development policy by building partnerships contributing to sustainable development Address relevant challenges (e.g. poverty-related diseases, energy and food security, biodiversity)

19 Policy instruments Instruments more strategic use of S&T agreements with key third countries strategic partnerships (e.g. Russia) increased synergies across the Commission, more visibility for STI in general cooperation frameworks Funding instruments collaborative projects (third country participation required and/or taken into account in evaluation) networking between existing projects joint initiatives of Union and third countries: coordinated calls, contribution of Union to third country/international organisations, ERA- Net/Art185 Information gathering (multiple sources: ERAWATCH, OECD, UNESCO, EEAS Delegations and Counsellors, )

20 International Cooperation in Horizon 2020 General opening Targeted activities in Societal challenges and Industrial leadership Projects with required or preferential 3 rd country participation Joint calls, delegated management, ERA-NET, Art 185 Excellent e science ce Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowships : strong international dimension Development of global research infrastructures (Carnegie Group) ERC open to researchers from all over the world - research to be carried out mostly in Member States or Associated Countries Dedicated cross-cutting actions Inclusive, Innovative and Secure Societies challenge Support for to policy dialogue Networking and twinning activities Coordination of EU and MS/AC international cooperation policies Strengthening of European presence in international partner countries

21 Coordination Coordination with other policies and instruments of the Union external policies (including development policy) other policies i with ihstrong international i dimension, i e.g. trade external dimension of other Union policies, e.g. education International organisations and multilateral fora shaping global agendas: UN bodies, OECD bodies, Carnegie forum, strengthen links with intergovernmental organisations and initiatives: COST, EUREKA, EIROForum

22 Promoting common principlesp Promote level playing field for international cooperation Set of mutually agreed principles to generate trust and confidence Issues: research integrity, peer review, role of women in science, research careers, fair and equitable treatment of IPR, open access

23 Partnership with Member States Union activities must add value and complement those of Member States Acknowledge progress made through SFIC From national considerations to European shared activities: associate MS to development of EU roadmaps prepare p joint Union-MS roadmaps common guidelines for international cooperation with third countries (e.g. visa)

24 Governance, monitoring, evaluation Implementation aligned with Horizon 2020, including in governance structures and work programmes Biennial report on implementation Assessment of progress against list of indicators

26 What is Horizon 2020? Commission proposal p for a 80 billion research and innovation funding programme ( ) A core part of Europe 2020, Union & European Research Area: - Responding to the economic crisis to invest in future jobs and growth - Addressing people s concerns about their livelihoods, safety and environment - Strengthening the EU s global position in research, innovation and technology

27 The Multiannual Financial Framework : Commission s proposals 29 June 2011 Key challenge: stabilise the financial and economic system while taking measures to create economic opportunities 1. Smart & inclusive growth ( 491bn) Education, Youth, Connecting Horizon Sport Europe Cohesion Competitive Business SMEs Sustainable growth, natural resources ( 383bn) 3. Security and citizenship ( 18.5bn) 4. Global l Europe ( 70bn) 5. Administration ( 62.6bn) Total: 1,025bn

28 What s new A single programme bringing g together three separate programmes/initiatives* Coupling research to innovation from research to retail, all forms of innovation Focus on societal challenges facing EU society, e.g. health, clean energy and transport Simplified access, for all companies, universities, institutes in all EU countries and beyond. *The 7th Research Framework Programme (FP7), innovation aspects of Competitiveness and Framework Programme (CIP), EU contribution to the European Institute of and Technology (EIT)

29 Three priorities: 1. Excellent science 2. Industrial leadership 3. Societal challenges

30 Horizon Priority 1. Excellent science (25 Billion Euro) (Proposal) World class science is the foundation of tomorrow s technologies, jobs and well-being Europe needs to develop, attract and retain research talent t Researchers need access to the best infrastructures

31 Horizon Priority 2. Industrial leadership (18 Billion Euro)(Proposal) Strategic investments in key technologies (e.g. advanced manufacturing, micro- electronics) underpin innovation across existing and emerging sectors Europe needs to attract more private investment in research and innovation Europe needs more innovative SMEs to create growth and jobs

32 Horizon Priority 3. Societal challenges (32 Billion Euro)(Proposal) Concerns of citizens and society/eu policy objectives (climate, environment, energy, transport etc) cannot be achieved without innovation Breakthrough solutions come from multi-disciplinary collaborations, including social sciences & humanities Health, demographic change and wellbeing Food security, sustainable agriculture, marine and maritime 4152 research & the bioeconomy Secure, clean and efficient i energy* 5782 Smart, green and integrated transport Climate action, resource efficiency and raw materials Inclusive, innovative and secure societies Promising solutions need to be tested, demonstrated and scaled up

33 Role of the EIT and JRC in Horizon 2020 European Institute Technology (EIT) Combining research, innovation & training in knowledge and Communities * Joint Research Centre (JRC)** Providing a robust, evidence base for EU policies *Second tranche pro rata from LEIT and Societal challenges (subject to review) **Additional 656 m for the JRC to be funded from the Euratom Treaty activities

34 Simplification Single set of simpler and more coherent participation rules New balance between trust and control Moving from several funding rates for different beneficiaries and activities to just two Replacing the four methods to calculate l overhead or 'indirect costs' with a single flat rate Major simplification under the forthcoming financial regulation Successful applicants to get working more quickly: reduction of average time to grant

35 Specific measures in Horizon 2020 to close the innovation divide Improved information, communication and support Stimulating cross-border science networks ERA (European Research Area) Chairs Teaming/Twinning of research institutions

36 Horizon 2020 and partnering Public private partnerships: Through Joint Technology Initiatives or other formal structures (Art. 187) Through contractual agreements, which provide inputs for work programmes Only when criteria met, e.g. clear commitments from private partners Public public partnerships: Through «ERA-Nets» for topping up individual calls/actions (replacing current ERA-Net, ERA-Net Plus, Inco-Net, Inno-net) Through participation in joint programmes between Member States (Art. 185) Supporting agendas of Joint Programming Initiatives when in line with Horizon 2020 Only when criteria met, e.g. financial commitments of participating countries European Partnerships: Not funding instruments, but for coordination with broader policies and programmes

37 Association For the first time, Horizon 2020 provides criteria for association in Article 7 of Horizon 2020 Regulation: Acceding countries, candidate countries and potential candidates Selected third countries, with: Good capacity in science, technology and innovation; Good track record of participating in Union research and innovation programmes; Close economic and geographic links with the Union; EFTA members, countries or territories listed in the European Neighbourhood Instrument;
