1. 1. Research Infrastructures Support to existing research infrastructures: Transnational Access Integrating activities Research e-infrastructures Support to new research infrastructures: Construction of of new new research infrastructures and and major major updates of of existing ones ones Design Design studies 15
1bis. Research Infrastructures Already announced for environment (but not finally approved) New medium-size (coastal) multipurpose research vessel for the Baltic sea Reasearch Icebreaker European multidisciplinary seafloor observatory European infrastructure for research in and protection of biodiversity High performance computing for Europe 16
Criteria for infrastructure Scientific justification Impact to society and to new technologies for industry Strategic importance to ERA Maturity of proposal Budgetary information 17
2. 2. Research for the benefit of of SMEs Research for for SMEs SMEs Research for for SME SME associations Under the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme (CIP): Exploratory awards Promote optimal participation in in the the Cooperation programme Promote assistance to to SMEs SMEs by by networks of of intermediaries 18
3. 3. Regions of of Knowledge Development of of regional research-driven clusters Two objectives for European regions: Strengthen their their capacity for for investing in in RTD RTD and and carrying out out research activities Maximising their their potential for for a successful involvement of of their their operators in in European research projects 19
4. 4. Research Potential Transnational two-way secondments and and recruitment Research equipment and and the the material environment Workshops and and conferences for for knowledge transfer Evaluation facilities 20
5. 5. Science in in Society Strengthening and and improving the the European science system Broader engagement political and and societal issues issues (inc. (inc. ethical ethical issues) Science and and technology and and their their place place in in society Gender research and and the the role role of of women in in research Science education curiosity and and the the participation of of young young people people Policy Policy for for the the role role and and engagement of of universities Improved communication 21
6. 6. Activities of of International Cooperation Horizontal support actions and and measures not not carried carried out out in in the the Cooperationor or People People programmes Two interdependent objectives: Support competitiveness through strategic partnerships with with 3 rd rd countries in in selected fields fields and and by by engaging the the best best 3 rd rd country scientists to to work work in in and and with with Europe Address specific problems that that 3 rd rd countries face face or or that that have have a global global character, on on the the basis basis of of mutual mutual interest and and mutual mutual benefit benefit 22
Capacities - Coherent development of policies In addition, support to the coherent development of policies will complement the coordination activities under the Cooperation programme: Strengthening and and improving the the European science system Monitoring and and analysis of of public public policies // industrial strategies Coordination of of research policies 23
