  2. R&D – European weaknesses Note: (1) 2000 data (2) 2002 data (3) 2003 data Directorate General for Energy and Transports

  3. Why research at European level? • Pooling and leveraging resources • Resources are pooled to achieve critical mass • Leverage effect on private investments • Interoperability and complementarity of big science • Fostering human capacity and excellence in S&T • Stimulate training and international mobility of researchers • Improve S&T capabilities • Stimulate competition in research • Better integration of European R&D • Create scientific base for pan-European policy challenges • Encourage coordination of national policies • Effective comparative research at EU-level • Efficient dissemination of research results Directorate General for Energy and Transports

  4. Why double the FP7 budget? • Tackle under-investment by exerting leverage on national and private investment • Increase EU spending on R&D : 1.97% of GDP vs 2.59% (US) • Help leverage business R&D (EU wide projects, solutions and market) • Brings EU public R&D spending to 0.96% of GDP (close to 1% target) • Encourage Member States Directorate General for Energy and Transports

  5. Why double the FP7budget? • Tackle fragmentation of research effort in the EU and enhance its efficiency and effectiveness • Achieve critical mass, share knowledge and facilities • Better dissemination across the EU • More excellence through EU wide competition • Less fragmentation through stronger coordination Directorate General for Energy and Transports

  6. What’s new ?
