1 Building a Europe of Knowledge Towards the Seventh Framework Programme FP7 /1 EUROPEAN COMMISSION - Research DG - November 2005

2 EU research: the story so far 1952: ECSC treaty; first projects started March : EURATOM treaty; Joint Research Centre set up 1983: ESPRIT programme 1984: First Framework Programme ( ) 1987: European Single Act science becomes a Community responsibility; Second Framework Programme ( ) 1990: Third Framework Programme ( ) 1993: Treaty on European Union; role of RTD in the enlarged EU 1994: Fourth Framework Programme ( ) 1998: Fifth Framework Programme ( ) 2000: European Research Area 2002: Sixth Framework Programme ( ) 2005: Proposal for the Seventh Framework Programme ( ) FP7 /2 EUROPEAN COMMISSION - Research DG - November 2005

3 Lisbon strategy 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.) FP7 /3 EUROPEAN COMMISSION - Research DG - November 2005

4 R&D European weaknesses EU-25 US Japan R&D intensity (% of GDP) (3) Share of R&D financed by industry (%) (2) Researchers per thousand labour force (FTE) (3) Share of world scientific publications (%) (3) Scientific publications per million population (3) Share of world triadic patents (%) (1) Triadic patents per million population (1) High-tech exports as a share of total manufacturing exports (%) (3) Share of world high-tech exports (%) (2) Note: (1) 2000 data (2) 2002 data (3) 2003 data FP7 /4 EUROPEAN COMMISSION - Research DG - November 2005

5 Research: filling the gap Total expenditure on R&D, % of GDP Barcelona Summit, 2001 FP7 /5 EUROPEAN COMMISSION - Research DG - November 2005

6 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, 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 FP7 /6 EUROPEAN COMMISSION - Research DG - November 2005

7 What s new? Main new elements compared to FP6: Duration increased from five to seven years Annual budget doubled ( 5 billion 10 billion) Basic research (~ 1.5 billion per year) New structure: cooperation, ideas, people, capacities Flexible funding schemes Joint Technology Initiatives Simpler procedures Logistical and administrative tasks external structures FP7 /7 EUROPEAN COMMISSION - Research DG - November 2005
