The European Research Area " For a common strategy on science and technology in the service of society "
European Research Area ERA Weakness of the European research Insufficient funding Lack of environment to stimulate research and exploit results Fragmented nature of activities, dispersal of resources ERA: A Concept Creation of an internal market in research Restructuring the European Research fabric (better coordination) Development of a European Research policy for funding and other EU and national policies
The European Research Area 6 th Framework programme: FP6 2002-2006 Based on the Treaty establishing the European Union The strategic objectives: To strengthen the scientific and technological bases of industry To encourage its international competitiveness while promoting research activities in support of other EU policies Open to all European research public and private International co-operation is an integral part of FP6 Organizations and persons from third countries (like Japan) 1. The opening of the bulk of research activities to third country organizations 2. Specific measures in support of international co-operation 3. International mobility of researchers (fellowships to and from third countries)
Integrating and strengthening the European Research Area (ERA) Thematic areas Life sciences, genomics and biotechnology for health Information society technologies Nanotechnologies and nano-sciences, knowledge-based multifunctional materials and new production processes and devices Aeronautics and space Food quality and safety Sustainable development, global change and ecosystems Citizens and governance in a knowledge-based society Cross-cutting activities Research for policy support New and emerging science and technology (NEST) SME activities International co-operation activities JRC activities Strengthening ERA Co-ordination of research activities Development of research/innovation policies Structuring ERA Research and Innovation Marie Curie Actions Human resources and mobility Research infrastructures Science and Society EURATOM (Nuclear energy) Controlled thermonuclear fusion Management of radioactive waste Radiation protection Other activities in the field of nuclear technologies and safety In discussion: the European Council for Research: ECR for basic science

Impact of the FP5 Part of FP5 in public research in 2000 Sharing among the countries in 2000
Investing in research: an action plan for Europe 30.04.2003 The objective: R&D from 1.85 to 3% of GDP in 2010 How to: Progressing jointly Improving public support to research and innovation Redirecting public spending towards research and innovation Improving the framework conditions for investment in research. Main issues: The importance of R&D investment for growth Developments in national policies towards the objective The positive response of the business sector The contributions of the FP6 to the objective The open method of co-ordination towards the objective European technology platforms Supply chain of human resources for R&D Working groups on: Mix of Public Support Mechanisms. Guarantee mechanisms. Risk capital Direct measures Fiscal measures.
Research Does France still have a science policy?
Science Policy My own prejudice Basic research and societal-driven research are major public endeavors. Strong research requires a strong political support at the highest level. Basic research should be placed at a high priority by any country. Bridging the gap between basic and applied research is the key to innovation. CNRS like structures provide an efficient and original research framework. Permanent positions Wide scope of research fields, basic and applied research, pluridisciplinarity Pre/post evaluation by elected and nominated peers International cooperation in research is mandatory and goes beyond Science. Large scale equipments should be managed by regional or worldwide org. Developing countries should be associated to the international programs. Research is a unique framework for education.
