  1. Building the Europe of Knowledge Towards the SeventhFramework Programme 2007-2013 Lomonosov Moscow State University 21 February 2007 • Dr. Christos VASILAKOS COUNSELLOR forRESEARCH & TECHNOLOGY PERMANENT REPRESENTATIONof GREECE to the EU, BRUSSELS

  2. Investing in the Europe of Knowledge and Innovation European research policy is geared towards the realisation of the Lisbon objective to transform the European Union into a competitive and dynamic knowledge based economy, capable of sustainable economic growth. S&T contributes to the Lisbon objectives: economic growth, employment creation, environmental protection, social challenges: fight poverty, improve human health and quality of life(GSM, remote working, safe roads, etc.)

  3. The EU gap in RTD Total R&D expenditure (as % of GDP), 2004 Data: Eurostat, OECD.

  4. Lisbon target: 3% GDP on 2010 • Improved research and innovation policies • Supports the integration and attractiveness of the ERA • Contributes to increased competitiveness • Contributes to sustainable development • Research and innovation as a priority of the National Reform Programmes for growth and jobs To be a genuinely competitive, knowledge-based economy, Europe must become better at producing KnowledgethroughResearch, at diffusing it through Educationand at applying it through Innovation.

  5. Putting the knowledge triangle of research, education and innovation to work RESEARCH EDUCATIONINNOVATION Europe a Global Competitive Knowledge – Based Economy -Economic Growth -Competitiveness -Jobs -Social Cohesion

  6. Research: filling the gap(total expenditure on R&D as % of GDP, 2004)EU-25 extrapolation based on R&D intensity targets put forward by Member States in their respective National Reform Programmes) Data: Eurostat, OECD.

  7. Why research at European level? • Pooling and leveraging resources • Resources are pooled to achieve critical mass • Leverage effect on private investments • Fostering human capacity and excellence in S&T • Stimulate training, mobility and career development 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

  8. FP7: significant impacts on S&T and the economy • Economic benefits • Reduced commercial risk • increased turnover and profitability • enhanced productivity and market share • Innovative performance • Enterprises participating in FP: • tend to be more innovative • more likely to patent • engage in innovative co-operation with other firmsand universities €1 €4-7 (long-run, econometric models) (research) at European level

  9. FP7: The New Pathway for the Research & Technology in the Europe Towards the development of a knowledge‑based economy and society in Europe which will meet the goals of the Lisbon strategy in Community policies Strengthen the European Industrial Competitiveness Trans-national cooperation at every scale across the EU should be supported To meet the Research needs of other Community policies To enhance the dynamism, creativity and excellence of European research at the frontier of knowledge Human potential in research and technology in Europe should be strengthened, both quantitatively and qualitatively Better education and research training The excellence of European research institutions and Universities should be developed and enhanced.

  10. What’s new? • Main new elements compared to FP6: • Duration increased from five to seven years • except for Euratom FP • Annual budget increased significantly • Basic research (~ €1 billion per year) • New structure: cooperation, ideas, people, capacities • Flexible funding schemes • Joint Technology Initiatives • Simpler procedures • Logistical and administrative tasks external structures

  41. REGIONS of KNOWLEDGE Two objectives for all European regions: Strengthen their capacity for investing in RTD and carryingout research activities Produce research strategies that contribute to regional economic development Through the development of regional ‘research-driven clusters’

  42. RESEARCH POTENTIAL Two objectives for EU’s convergence and outermost (RUP) regions • To fully realise the European Research Area in the enlarged Union Through: • Transnational two-way secondments and recruitment of staff • Development of research equipment and the material environment • Workshops and conferences for knowledge transfer • ‘Evaluation facilities’ Unlock and develop their research capacities Foster an increase in their participation to Community research activities

  44. COHERENT DEVELOPMENT OF RESEARCH POLICIES Monitoring and analysis of research related public policies/industrial strategies: • Information and intelligence service (ERAWATCH) • Industrial research investment monitoring • Indicators on research activity and its impact on the economy Coordination of research policies: • Implementing the Open Method of Coordination • Bottom-up initiatives undertaken by several countries and regions (OMC-NET)

  45. INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION (1) ‘Horizontal’ support actions and measures not carried out in the Cooperation or People programmes Two interdependent objectives: Support competitiveness through strategic partnerships with third countries in selected fields Address specific problems that thirdcountries face or that have a global character, on the basis of mutual interest and mutual benefit To facilitate contacts with partners in third countries with the aim of providing better access to research carried out elsewhere in the world

  46. INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION (2) Cooperation with third countries in the Seventh Framework Programme will be targeted, in particular, at the following groups of countries: • Candidate countries; • Countries neighbouring the EU, Mediterranean partner countries, Western Balkans countries (WBC) and the Eastern European and Central Asian countries (EECA)[1]; • Developing countries, focusing on the particular needs of each country or region concerned; • Emerging economies. [1] Formerly called the New Independent States: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz Republic, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan. The theme-oriented international cooperation actions will be carried out under the "Cooperation" . The international actions in the area of human potential will be carried under the "People" programme.

  47. CAPACITIES Budget ~ € 4.1bn (2007-2013)
