11 Why research 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 FP7 - April

12 European research: increasing budgets 20,0 AS % OF R&D FINANCED BY GOVERNMENT 18,0 16,0 14,0 12,0 10,0 8,0 6,0 4,0 2,0 FP1 FP2 CERN,COST,EMBL,EMBO,ESA,ESF,ESO,ESRF,ILL FP3 EUREKA FRAMEWORK PROGRAMME 0, FP4 FP5 15,50 14,02 6,10 FP6 FP7 - April

13 FPs : significant impacts on S&T and the economy Economic benefits. 1 (research) at European level 4-7 (long-run, econometric models). Enterprises participating in FP benefit from: reduced commercial risk increased turnover and profitability enhanced productivity and market share Innovative performance Enterprises participating in FP: tend to be more innovative more likely to patent engage in innovative cooperation with other firms and universities FP7 - April

14 FPs : significant impacts on S&T and the economy Scientific performance: FP project up to 9 peer reviewed publications (international co-publications) Human resources development: Over 7000 proposals for Marie Curie in 2004, thousands of researchers have participated in top trans-national teams, benefiting from training and knowledge sharing FP7 - April

15 FPs: strong impact on the integration of the ERA cooperation links (FP5): academia, industry, public research labs Better coordination of national research efforts (ERA-NET etc) Counter-acting fragmentation of ERA. Average number of MS per project: 3 (FP2) 6.7 (FP6) FP7 - April

17 Why double the FP7 budget? Tackle under-investment by exerting leverage on national and private investment Increase EU spending on R&D : 1.97% of GDP vs 2.59% (US) Help leverage business R&D (EU wide projects, solutions and market) Brings EU public R&D spending to 0.96% of GDP (close to 1% target) Encourage Member States FP7 - April

18 Why double the FP7 budget? Tackle fragmentation of research effort in the EU and enhance its efficiency and effectiveness Achieve critical mass, share knowledge and facilities Better dissemination across the EU More excellence through EU wide competition Less fragmentation through stronger coordination FP7 - April

112 Space Objectives To support a European Space Programme focusing on applications such as GMES, with benefits for citizens and for the competitiveness of the European space industry. This will contribute to the development of a European Space Policy, complementing efforts by Member States and by other key players, including the European Space Agency. FP7 - April

113 Space Rationale User-driven applications: benefits to public authorities and decision-makers (in fields such as agriculture, environment, fisheries, security, telecommunications, transport). Benefits to European industry: better definition of common objectives based on user requirements and policy objectives. Co-ordination of activities: to avoid duplications, maximise interoperability and define standards. FP7 - April

114 Space Activities (1/2) Space-based applications at the service of the European Society GMES (Global Monitoring for Environment and Security): user driven approach to: development of satellite-based monitoring systems; integration with in-situ monitoring systems; use and delivery of GMES data and services. Innovative satellite communication services in public application sectors (e.g. civil protection, tele-medicine). Technologies for reducing the vulnerability of space-based services and for the surveillance of space. FP7 - April

115 Space Activities (2/2) Exploration of space Contribution to international space exploration initiatives. RTD for strengthening space foundations Contribution to: Space transportation technology. Space sciences including life in space. Return to main presentation FP7 - April
