  3. PROGRESS TOWARDS ERA(1) General target of 3% of GDP? Present estimate ~ 2% FP7 – excellence, coherence, simplification Bottlenecks: shortage of people, state of infrastructure, need for coherent R&D policy

  4. PROGRESS TOWARDS ERA (2) • Academies: • The influence of the progress of globalization was not taken fully into account when the strategy of ERA was designed • Societal dimension and culture of innovation – more attention • Bureaucratic processes, both local and European level, hinder progress

  12. Marie Curie ACTIONS • Networks • Fellowships • Reintegration grants • Excellence awards/grants • Industry-Academia knowledge-sharing

  13. ALLEA • An independent nonprofit organisation of 53 academies from 40 countries • Founded in 1994 • Since 2006 legally incorporated under Dutch law • Initiated by • Académie des Sciences • Royal Society of London • Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences • Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences

  24. PARADOX OF DEVELOPMENT Society wants results – problem solving Scientist wants freedom – new knowledge Balance science – society Wisdom of society– think about the future Responsibility of scientists – think about the society

  25. NETWORK OF THE FP7 “It is very difficult to make an accurate prediction, especially about the future” Niels Bohr Major concern of ALLEA and its members – the road to the future
