A changing role for the
EU’s Framework Programme
•
Objective “Lisbon”:
•
Objective “Göteborg”:
•
to become the most dynamic and most
competitive knowledge-based economy
sustainable development
(environment, economy, employment)
Objective “Barcelona”:
education and training, innovation
ERA: …Integrating, reinforcing, structuring
2
This involves ...
• Stimulating research activities
• Need to reconsider industrial products &
processes (more knowledge-based than
resource intensive)
• Adaptation of research stakeholders to
new contexts & sustainable
development (think differently)
• Support to radical innovation through
breakthrough oriented RTD
3
FP6 (2002-2006)
Main principles
• A tool to support ERA and to
promote competitiveness
• concentration
on selected priority areas
• structuring
effect on research activities
• streamlining of implementation

Support to SMEs
• General activities (also in TP3: Collaborative research)
At least 15% of the total budget allocated to SMEs
• Specific activities
• Co-operative research: by RTD centres for SMEs or
by high-tech SMEs in collaboration with research
centres and universities (CRAFT)
• Collective research: by RTD centres for industry
groupings in entire sectors of dominated by SMEs
7
Cooperation with
Third Countries
 The European Research Area is open to the world
 Three major routes:
 Thematic Priorities are open to Third Countries, with
some substantial Community funding (~€ 30m in TP3)
 Specific measures for international cooperation
 Activities regarding Human Resources
 S&T Agreements with several countries
 Implementing Arrangements on Materials
Research with China and the United States (NSF)
8
Thematic Priority 3
concentrates on:
i) Nanotechnology, as a flagship of the next
industrial revolution
ii) Multi-functional knowledge-based
materials, as critical drivers of innovation
iii)New Production processes and devices,
as the key to sustainable development
9
Thematic Priority 3
Overall approach and objectives
Transformation of EU industry with a view
to sustainable development
• From resource-based to knowledge-based
• Promote real breakthroughs not just
incremental research
• Integration of production and consumption
patterns
• Integration of education and
skills development
10
Instruments
Instruments to implement
the thematic area and to ensure high
European impacts on selected technical and
socio-economic issues
Integrated
Projects (IP)
New Instruments
Networks of
Excellence (NE)
Specific Targeted Research
Projects (STREP)
Coordination Actions
(CA)
Traditional projects
“Stairways of excellence”
Specific Support Actions (SSA)
11
New instruments
Networks of
excellence
versus
Integrated
projects
• Strengthen excellence in a
research domain
• Society problems &
competitiveness
• Aim at integration
• Aim at exploitation
• Joint programme of
activities
• Implementation plan
(pre-defined results)
• Seeking continuity
• Limited in time
• Autocatalytic knowledge
mass for excellence
• Critical mass for problem
solving
• EC funds: depending on
“integrated” resources
• EC funds: depending on
estimated costs
12
Traditional instruments
Specific targeted
research projects
(STREP)
• Similar structure
as traditional
projects
• Research at
frontier of
knowledge
• EC funds for RTD
activities
Coordination
actions (CA)
Specific
support
actions
(SSA)
• Foresight
activities
• Stimulating
cooperation to
improve research
competencies
• EC funds only for
coordination
activities
• Interaction with
regulators and
public authorities
13
New Instruments
- IP for SMEs
Specific conditions
•
At least 50% of the partners are SME
•
SME budget participation is considerable, but
there is no specific minimum percentage of the
total budget
•
Duration recommended to be maximum 4 years
•
Size generally smaller than other IPs but still
considerable with an average estimated EC
funding around 7 M€
