14. The 7 thematic priorities • Knowledge-based multifunctional materials:New high knowledge-content materials, providing new functionalities and improved performance, will be critical drivers of innovation in technologies,devices and systems, benefiting sustainable development and competitiveness in sectors such as transport, energy, medicine, electronics and construction. • Development of fundamental knowledge • Technologies associated with the production, transformation and processing of knowledge-based multifunctional materials, and bio-materials • Engineering support for materials development

15. The 7 thematic priorities 6. Sustainable development and global change Sustainable energy systems (810MEuro): clean energy, energy savings, alternative motor fuels, fuel cells, energy carriers/transport/storage, etc Sustainable surface transport (610MEuro): environmentally friendly transport, interoperability, safety, etc Global change and ecosystems (700MEuro): greenhouse gas emissions, water cycle, biodiversity, natural disasters, land management, climate modelling, etc

16. The 7 thematic priorities Sustainable energy systems: Research activities having an impact in the short and medium term: • Energy savings and energy efficiency, including those to be achieved through the use of renewable raw materials… focus on particular on Eco-Buildings to generate energy savings and improve environmental quality and quality of life….improving savings and efficiency mainly in the urban context, in particular in buildings ….including CHP and district heating/cooling systems, on-site production and use of renewable energy to improve energy efficiency in buildings.

17. The 7 thematic priorities Sustainable energy systems: Research activities having an impact in the medium and longer term: • New and renewable energy sources, and new carriers such as hydrogen…..reduction in greenhouse gas emissions…. • Fuel cells, including their applications…replace in longer term a large part of current combustion systems in industry, buildings and road transport...

18. « Integrating research »:Specific activities covering a wider field of research Supporting policies and anticipating scientific and technological needs (570MEuro) activities in support of EU policies and research responding to new and emerging needs (annual programming) Horizontal research activities involving SMEs (450MEuro): to boost technological capacities of SMEs in traditional or new areas and develop their ability to operate internationally (co-operative and collective research) Specific measures in support of international co-operation (300MEuro): developing countries, Mediterranean countries including the Western Balkans; Russia and the CIS

19. « Integrating research »:Specific activities covering a wider field of research Supporting policies and anticipating scientific and technological needs (570MEuro): Policy oriented research (has 19 headings) including protection of cultural heritage and associated conservation strategies

20. « Integrating research »:Specific activities covering a wider field of research Horizontal research activities involving SMEs (450MEuro): “to boost technological capacities of SMEs in traditional or new areas and develop their ability to operate internationally” (co-operative and collective research)

21. International co-operation activities (300MEuro) • Participation of third countries in the thematic priorities • Specific activities (in support of the EU’s foreign policy and development aid policy), including for Mediterranean third countries, in support of the development of the Euro-Mediterranean partnership, issues relating to environment, health and water issues, as well as protection of the cultural heritage. Third countries : countries which are not members of the EU and not associated with the Framework Programme.
