  1. European Technology Platforms …a new concept …a new way to achieve Lisbon’s goals ...priority for 2004 -2005 put forward by the Members States and fully supported by the Commission Event : Launching of Polish Technology Platform Programme Warsaw 10-01-2005 Christos Tokamanis DG RTD/G2

  2. Content : i) Policy Framework (ii) E.T.P.: purpose, structure, function (iii) Implications for Research Initiatives (iii) Role of National Platforms

  3. Political references • Lisbon Council • Barcelona Council • Spring European Councils : invest on Knowledge creation, Research and Innovation. Priority Actions for 2004: • Member state level • Policy level • Sector/cluster level throughEuropean Technology Platforms

  4. Political references • Commission Communication “ Investing in Research:an Action Plan for Europe” adopted 30 April 2003 putting forward an action plan. • Commission Staff Working Document annexed to the Communication presenting: • R & TD investment for Growth • Developments in national polices towards Barcelona • Response from business sector • Contribution from 6FP • Approach to the open method of co-ordination • European Technology Platforms • Supply chain of human resources

  5. Political references The Kok report[1]on the Lisbon Strategy has identified • “increasing Europe's attractiveness for researchers and scientists” and • “making R&D a top priority” among the policy areas requiring urgent action. [1]http://europa.eu.int/comm/councils/bx20041105/kok_report_en.pdf

  6. What is an European Technology Platform? • Initiative for mobilisation of stakeholders (research, industry and regulatory and finance stakeholders, public and private bodies) sharing an Europeanlong-term vision on high impact sectors or leading technologies; • Primary output: European Strategic Research Agendafor the next decade(s) with recommendations for its implementation; • Final goal: to achieve EU industrial leadership & meet society’s needs through investment in RTD.

  7. A new way of Governance • Provide an open mechanism and consensus building process; • Joint initiativesby industry, Members states and Commission, with wide scope ( beyond RTD ); • Foster co-operation and synergy among public authorities, users, regulators, industry, consumers etc.; • Optimise the use of instruments and resources to encourage investment in research and innovation; • Support the coherent implementation of different polices (industrial, environment, research, education, etc); • Provide a mechanism to overcome barriers (norms, regulation, standards, safety, incentive measures, social acceptance etc) to innovation; • Strengthen and organise EU research – ERA.

  8. Elements of Technology Platform (1) Competitiveness • EUROPEAN RESEARCH AREA Mobilisation of Resources Deployment Added Value

  9. Elements of Technology Platform (2) AIMS STREAMLINE RESEARCH EFFORT with INVESTMENT (TP) ESTABLISH FAVOURABLE CONDITIONS FOR ENGAGEMENT (TP)

  10. Elements of Technology Platform (3) • KEY • STAKEHOLDERS(AC) • BUILT-UPON • EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE (AC) STRUCTURE

  11. Elements of Technology Platform (4) • JUSTIFIED PURPOSE (AC) • AUTONOMY (AC) • REPRESENTATION (AC) • OPEN and CONSENSUS DRIVEN (AC) FUNCTION

  12. Elements of Technology Platform (5) • FINANCIAL RESOURCES (TP)/(AC) • EXISTING INSTRUMENTS • LEGAL ENTITY (JETI) • (JOINT UNDERTAKING Art.171,169) MEANS • VISION (AC) • SRRA(AC) • (and Technical Annexes)

  13. Elements of Technology Platform (6) RESEARCH IMPLEMENTATION • EXISTING INSTRUMENTS of FP 6 • NEW MECHANISM (JOINT UNDERTAKING Art.171) • Joint European Technology Initiatives (JETI) • Stages/Criteria for approval • Scientific and Technological excellence • Economic benefits and returns • European Added Value

  14. Next step … focus attention on ACTION for more and better RTD investment in Europe • A Communication from the Commission(2004)reporting on existing models for TPs, added value of clustering at EU level, links between these TPs and knowledge development and competitiveness, impacts on national polices and EIB. • Kick-of new Platforms • Road Transport • Hydrogen • Development and stimulation of new initiatives (Manufuture, Photo-voltaics, Maritime ,Paper Pulp, Sustainable Chemistry, etc)

  20. Realistic planning for future business success

  21. Actual thematic priorities for… Coordination of National Research Programmes Investment in Co-operative Research schemes For the 7FP The consultation process may end up with consensus view expressed in the Vision & Strategic Research Agenda(s) deriving… Collaborative Research Basic Research Technology Initiatives (JETI) Support to SMEs Research Infrastructure Human Resource

  22. Example of European Construction TP (i) At EU level to enhance openness, participation and reduce complexity: • Set up links & new participation in ECTP • Improve the awareness of the ECTP at National level • Collaborate for the ECTP, vision 2030, SRA & roadmap • Promote the creation of new National TPs (best practices) • Disseminate the ECTP Outcome within all MS • Involve & represent National authorities in the ECTP

  23. Example of National Construction TP (ii) • At National level a key role for a real impact: • Set up links with regional & local stakeholders • Improve the involvement of SME’s (drivers of innovation); • Define better a complete list of research needs; • Implement a dedicated training & education strategy; • Feedback to ECTP level (eg. National Social acceptance and awareness of actual needs…) • Identify & involve National/Regional research programmes; • Identify the gaps between National & EU regulations & policies that s will enhance innovation; • Bring at ECTP level only if there is an EU added value; • Identify and enhance National financial support schemes…...

  24. Summary : • ETP is a consensus building process • for Strategic Investment in Research, Education/Skilling and Innovation; • ETP is an Industrial/Govermental forum of Europe’s Industrial and Policy leaders deciding • the true relationship between research and economic growth; • ETP is a recommmended plan of research activities for individual or collective use • as well as for European or National implementation;
