  2. Outline • FP7 Proposal • ICT in FP7 • FP7 Implementation • Next Steps

  3. FP7: Four inter-linked objectives • Gain leadership in key fields by supporting cooperation • Essential « core business», high European added value • Stimulate research excellence through competition • Attracting the best brains, frontier research • Develop and strengthen Human Capital of research • Improve research and innovation capacity

  4. Leverage effect onMember States + private investments FP7 approach: Continuity & New Impetus • Continuity • Thematic priorities • Scaling up ERA coordination actions • Scaling up Marie Curie actions • Scaling up SME measures • Seven years duration • New Impetus • Doubling of budget per year • European Research Council • Joint Technology Initiatives • New research infrastructures • New management schemes

  5. FP7: structure “Cooperation” Predefined themes, refined FP6 instruments “Ideas” Frontier research, competition, individual grants “People” Human potential, mobility “Capacities” Infrastructure, SMEs, science and society, Joint Research Center – non-nuclear + EURATOM

  6. FP7 Specific Programmes Cooperation: 44735 m€ (61%) Ideas: 11942 m€ (16%) People: 7178 m€ (10%) Capacities: 7536 m€ (10%) JRC: 1824 m€ (3%)

  7. “Cooperation” – Collaborative Research – Themes 1. Health 2. Food, Agri, Biotech 3. Information and Communication Technologies 4. Nano, Materials, Production 5. Energy 6. Environment 7. Transport (including Aeronautics) 8. Socio-econ 9. Security and space

  8. “Cooperation” – Collaborative Research – Themes Nano, materials, production: 4865 m€ (11%) ICT: 12756 m€ (28.5%) Energy: 2951 m€ (7%) Environment: 2552 m€ (6%) Transport: 5981 m€ (13%) Food, agri, biotech: 2472 m€ (6%) Socio-econ research: 798 m€ (2%) Space and security: 3987 m€ (9%) Health: 8373 m€ (18%)

  9. “Cooperation” – Collaborative Research • Under each theme there will be sufficient flexibility to address • Emerging needs • Unforeseen policy needs • Support will be implemented across all themes through • Collaborative projects; • Networks of Excellence; • Coordination/support actions • Joint Technology Initiatives • Coordination (ERA-NET; ERA-NET+; Article 169)

  10. “Cooperation” – Joint Technology Initiatives • In a limited number of cases • Covering one or a small number of selected aspects • Criteria include • Inability of existing instruments to achieve objectives • Degree/clarity of definition of objectives • Financial and resource commitment from industry • Capacity to attract additional national support • and leverage current or future industry funding • Nanoelectronics, Embedded Systems, …

  11. “Cooperation” – Coordination of programmes • ERA-NET and ERA-NET-PLUS • Community participation in national research programmes (based on Art. 169), with criteria including • Efficiency of Art. 169 as the most appropriate means for achieving objectives • Presence of pre-existing national research programmes • Critical mass (size and number of programmes/activities) • Ambient Assisted Living, Embedded Systems, …

  12. FP7 “Capacities” – Research Capacity – 6 Parts • 1. Research Infrastructures 2. Research for the benefit of SMEs 3. Regions of knowledge 4. Research potential 5. Science in society 6. Activities of int’l cooperation

  13. FP7 “Capacities” – Research Capacity – 6 Parts Research infrastructures: 3987 m€ (54%) Research for benefit of SMEs: 1914 m€ (25%) Regions of knowledge: 160 m€ (2%) Int’l cooperation: 359 m€ (5%) Science in society: 558 mé (7%) Research potential: 558 m€ (7%)

  14. FP7 “Capacities” – Research Infrastructures • Support to existing research infrastructures • Research e-infrastructures • GÉANT, Grids, Super-/high-end-computing • Transnational access • Integrating activities • Support to new research infrastructures • Construction of new research infrastructures and major updates of existing ones • Nanoelectronics cleanrooms • Design studies

  15. FP7 “Ideas” – Frontier Research ERC – European Research Council Commission Scientific Council* • Approval of work programme, as defined by the Scientific Council • Instruction to implement work programme • Approval of annual implementation report • Information to programme committee • Preparation of work programme • Set up of peer review: pool of reviewers, nomination of review panels, evaluation guidelines • Oversight of the evaluation procedure • Annual scientific report Externalised tasks** • Information and support to applicants • Reception / eligibility of proposals • Organisation and execution of evaluation • Selection decision • Scientific and financial follow-up of contracts • Annual implementation report * Created by Commission decision * * Under the responsibility of the Commission

  17. Outline • FP7 Proposal • ICT in FP7 • FP7 Implementation • Next Steps

  18. ICT R&D – Europe Lags • ICT represents >30% of total R&D budget in all major OECD countries Source: IDATE, 2002 • Gap in ICT research, half of total gap with the US in R&D spending

  19. ICT in FP7 – Priorities : “Striking the Right Balance” • Reinforce leadership and open new fields • Reinforce areas where Europe has recognised strengths • Build capacity to seize new opportunities as they emerge • Mainstream ICT and Push the limits of technology • Boost innovation from ICT use and new forms of content • Widen the performance and functionality of technology • Combination of market or applications-pull and technology and science-push • Balance between basic and applied research • Flow of ideas from theory to practice and from academia to markets.

  20. Main Themes and Activities • ICT Technology Pillars • pushing the limits of performance, usability, dependability, cost-efficiency • Integration of Technologies • integrating multi-technology sets that underlie new functionalities, services and applications • Applications Research • providing the knowledge and the means to develop a wide range of ICT-based services and applications • Future and Emerging Technologies • supporting research at the frontiers of knowledge
