  1. The role of research in boosting eco-innovation – a European perspective “International Forum of R&D for Eco-innovation: Research for combining environmental priorities with economic opportunities”, 22-23 October 2009, Katowice, Poland Serena Pontoglio « Environmental Technologies and Pollution Prevention » European Commission - DG RTD

  2. Eco-innovation: all forms of innovation reducing environmental impacts and/or optimising the use of resources. It includes new production processes, new products or services, and new management and business methods, whose use or implementation is likely to prevent or substantially reduce the risks for the environment, pollution and other negative impacts of resources use, throughout the life cycle of related activities. Environmental technologies: all technologies whose use is less environmentally harmful than relevant alternatives. Eco-innovation and environmental technologies

  3. The role of research in the innovation process model Environmental policies

  4. Vision for eco-innovation • Eco-innovation, environmental technologies across all sectors • Eco-innovation are a win-win solution for the environment and the economy • Eco-innovation from a side-effect of research activities to the “core business” • Need fundamental transformations – not just “add ons” • Make use of ecological principles: life-cycle, diversity, symbiosis, bio-compatible…

  5. Theindicative FP7 budget breakdown (€ million) FP7 is made up of 4 main blocks of activities forming 4 specific programmes plus a fifth specific programme on nuclear research Cooperation: Collaborative research Ideas: European Research Council People: Human Potential, Marie Curie Capacities: Research capacities (Infrastructure, SMEs, Regions, International cooperation …)

  6. The Cooperation Programme breakdown (€ million)

  7. Contribution of the 7thFramework Programmes to environmental technologies and eco-innovation • In whole FP7, approximately 10 billion € on R&D funding for environmental technologies • About 44% of FP7's budget directly related to sustainable development • 37% of topics support R&D funding for green technologies in the first three FP7 Work Programmes

  8. Eco-innovation in the Environment Programme 2010 • Activity 6.3. ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGIES • Sub-activity 6.3.1 Indicative available budget: EUR 51.5 Million (including 5M€ for the Green Cars call and 7M€ for the Africa call)

  14. ERA-Net: Coordination of national or regional research programmes MS agree and fund joint calls/joint activities EU funding only for coordination To develop and strengthen the coordination of public research programmes carried out at national or at regional level with a view to their mutual opening and the development and implementation of joint activities ERA-Net on Eco-Innovation

  15. ERA-Net on Eco-Innovation ENV.2010.3.1.4-2 ERA-net on Eco-innovation Main objectives/expected outcomes • The coordination between MS should promote • the coherent and consistent integration of “eco-innovation” concepts into the more traditional “innovation” research programs • the adoption of common metrics for the ex-ante environmental assessment of each (eco)innovation based on life-cycle thinking • a better technology transfer and take-up of technologies from the research shelves to the market • Joint calls should focus on selected lead markets of EU strategic interest in the eco-innovation area

  16. Workshop:Strengthening the role of R&D in boosting Eco-Innovation and Eco-efficiency • When: 13th November • Where: Brussels, Covent Garden Building A2, Auditorium 4/121 Place Rogier/Rogierplein, 16 Agenda: http://circa.europa.eu/Public/irc/rtd/wseco/library
