Presentation Transcript

  1. Research at the EU level – decision making and money flow Vladimír Šucha Comenius University Ministry of Education - Coordination of the EU Affairs

  2. Structure of the presentation • The EU at glance – brief intro into the EU institutions • Research within the EU paragraphs • Why research at the EU level • Structure of the Framework Programme and decision making process • Other sources at the EU level • Next Framework Programme

  3. Committee of the Regions Court of Auditors The Council of Ministers The European Parliament Economic and Social Committee Court of Justice EU Institutions The European Commission

  4. European Commission • DG RTD/Research Research policy, framework programme design and implementation • DG Joint Research Centre In house scientific/research based advise for policy making + other DGs like INFSO, TREN, SANCO…

  5. History • 1957: EURATOM treaty; Joint Research Centre set up • 1983: ESPRIT Programme • 1984: First Framework Programme (1984- 1987), followed by 4 successive Framework Programmes • 1987: “European Single Act” - science becomes a Community policy • 1993: Treaty on European Union (Maastricht) - objective of “promoting research activities for other EU policies” • 1999 Amsterdam Treaty simplifies produced • 2004: Constitution for Europe – horizontal importance of research

  6. The Community Budget

  7. Budgets of the EU Framework Programmes

  8. WHYresearch in Europe?

  9. WHYresearch in Europe? • Historical aspect Support of the EU industry – competitiveness Applied research, industrial research only • Currently Social cohesion, knowledge economy Change in the philosophy of the support Basic research is coming on the EU floor

  10. WHYresearch in Europe? Lisbon process Key words • Target – knowledge economy • Tool – science, education and innovation

  11. Reachest regions of the EU EU Background %GDP for RTD GDP per capita (Euro)

  12. Weakness of the European Reseach

  13. 2,8% 1,9% 0,65% US EU SR European research area Annual Difference 120 billions

  14. European research area Fundamental differences between European and US research 1. European is less intensive 2. European is less integrated

  15. European Research and Innovation Area Key words of the ERA • Increase of intensity of the European Research • Technology Transfer • More integration for the European research

  16. Horizontal priorities • Synergy and coordination of research activities • Support for partnerships • Human potential in research and mobility

  17. Instruments for the RTD support at the EU level The only instrument is the Framework Programme (legal base) Codesion!

  18. Instruments Instruments for the RTD support at the national level using the EU money Structural funds

  19. Framework programme • Currently we have 6th FP • Next Framework programme is under preparation New European budget 2007-2013 New financial perspective

  20. The Community Budget

  21. EU budget 2007-2013 Cohesion 31 % Competitiveness 293 % Euro Year

  22. Framework programme • The EU Treaty – non nuclear • The Euratom Treaty - nuclear • Direct Actions • Indirect Actions – most of money

  23. FP7 2007 - 2013 Specific Programmes Cooperation – Collaborative research Ideas – Frontier Research People – Human Potential Capacities – Research Capacity + JRC (non-nuclear) JRC (nuclear) Euratom

  24. Cooperation – Collaborative research 9 Thematic Priorities • Health • Food, agriculture and biotechnology • Information and communication technologies • Nanosciences, nanotechnologies, materials and new production technologies • Energy • Environment (including climate change) • Transport (including aeronautics) • Socio-economic sciences and the humanities • Security and space + Euratom: Fusion energy research, nuclear fission and radiation protection

  25. Cooperation – Collaborative research Collaborative research (Collaborative projects; Networks of Excellence; Coordination/support actions) Joint Technology Initiatives Coordination of non-Community research programmes (ERA-NET; ERA-NET+; Article 169) International Cooperation

  26. Ideas – Frontier Research ERC – European Research Council Commission • Approval of work programme, as defined by the Scientific Council • Instruction to implement work programme • Approval of annual implementation report • Information to programme committee Scientific Council* Externalised tasks (exec. agency)** * Created by Commission decision * * Under the responsibility of the Commission

  27. Initial training of researchers Marie Curie Networks Life-long training and career development Individual Fellowships Co-financing of regional/national/international programmes Industry-academia pathways and partnerships Industry-Academia Scheme International dimension Outgoing International Fellowships; Incoming International Fellowships International Cooperation Scheme; Reintegration grants Specific actions Excellence awards People– Human Potential

  28. Capacities – Research Capacity • Research Infrastructures • Research for the benefit of SMEs • Regions of Knowledge • Research Potential • Science in Society • Activities of International Cooperation

  29. FP7 budget(EUR billion, 2004 constant prices) JRC Euratom Capacities Cooperation People Ideas

  30. FP7 2007-2013‘Cooperation’ budget

  31. FP7 Timetable

  32. Decision making process Council of the EU European Parliament Co-decision Policyproposal European Commission 37 Directorate Generals & Services

  33. ? Uaa! What is behind? We need to Take part In the decision making process We should not wait what will come out

  34. Decision making process Council of the EU European Parliament Co-decision Policyproposal European Commission 37 Directorate Generals & Services

  35. Implementation • European Commission is body fully responsible for implementation of the FP • The only way how to ensure the interests of the MS is via Programme Committees Budget Calls, key words

  36. Opportunities for young researchers

  37. Opportunities • Individual fellowships – Marie Curie • Members of the consortia • SSA – Specific support actions • Joint Research Centre • COST • INTAS

  38. The JRC Mission The JRC provides scientific and technical support for the conception, development, implementation and monitoring of EU policies … …functions as a referencecentre of science and technologyfor the EU…… …serves the common interest of the Member States, while being independent of special interests, whetherprivate and national."
