Selected aspects Novelties Integration of the innovation dimension Additional emphasis on Public-Private-Partnerships and Public-Public-Partnerships New approaches to SME support Massive increase in financial instruments (loan guarantees for Mid-Caps) Even greater variety of governance modes (Knowledge and Innovation Communities for the European Institute for Technology and Innovation)

Selected aspects Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) Integrated approach - around 15% of the budget for societal challenges and LEITs to go to SMEs. Simplification of particular benefit to SMEs (e.g. single entry point). New SME instrument, building on the SBIR model, will be used across all societal challenges as well as for the LEITs A dedicated activity for research-intensive SMEs in 'Innovation in SMEs'. 'Access to risk finance' will have a strong SME focus (debt and equity facility)

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION Martina

Enhancing and focusing EU international cooperation in research and innovation: A strategic approach Gediminas Ramanauskas International Cooperation Directorate DG for Research and Innovation

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

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

Interacting with Third Countries Associated Countries 14 Associated countries Legal entities participate on the same basis those from MS Countries represented as observers on committees 'comitology' Science and Technology Agreements 20 S&T agreements to FP Regular (annual) meetings between both sides Areas and mechanisms of cooperation; management; IPR Other Agreements Research and Innovation as a part of broader international policies Regional agreements: ASEAN, EaP, LAC, etc.

Third countries with the largest participation in FP7

FP7 funding for international partners

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

What is the proposed strategic approach?

New strategy for international cooperation in research and innovation EU needs 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

Dual approach Openness: 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

Thematic targeting Starting point: 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 Frameworks in place to engage in cooperation

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 Innovation 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)

Promoting common principles 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

New Strategy - Key Novelties General opening of Horizon 2020, but with more restricted approach to automatic funding Targeted activities with scale and scope to achieve impact Multi-annual roadmaps for key partner countries/regions Stronger partnership with Member States Common principles for conduct of international cooperation Stronger role for Union in international organisations and multilateral fora Strengthened implementation, governance, monitoring and evaluation

South Africa and the Framework Programmes Priority instrument for internationalization of South African S&T FP4-FP6: close to 250 participations Dominated so-called INCO activity FP7: 243 participations in 195 projects International Cooperation Partner Country Direct EC investment more than 30million Rank only behind USA, Russia, China and India

Benefits from South Africa s Framework Programme participation Not only funding long-term strategic relations Meaningful involvement knowledge generation builds capacity Enrich and complement bilateral cooperation R&D cooperation addressing global challenges Mature evaluation and management processes facilitate leveraging national investment Creates other cooperation opportunities

Strategic approach for promoting SA s Framework Programme participation Create enabling national environment for researchers to participate proactively identifying: FP7 topics relevant to SA priorities and strengths SA researchers best placed to respond Support SA links to leading European groups with best chances of success, bearing in mind: Lead in proposal preparation coming for Europe Highly competitive excellence key criteria

Strategic considerations for SA s FP participation Framework Programme is not panacea and will not be appropriate in all instances SA own responsibility to promote cooperation understand nature of instruments difference with development cooperation Participation should be aligned with own national strategic objectives FP funded by European taxpayers and has largely European objectives, countries such as SA therefore need own strategy!
