  1. Carlos SARAIVA MARTINS DG RTD – Unit B1 Anticipation of Scientific and Technological Needs: Fundamental Research China Frontier workshop NEST New and Emerging Science and Technology

  2. FP6Where does NEST fit in? Focusing and Integrating Community research Thematic priorities “Wider field of Science” Support to policies NEST SMEs Genomics IST Nanotechnologies. Food Citizens Aeronautics Sustainable dev. International co-operation JRCc Structuring the ERA Marie Curie, Research Infrastructures, Science & Society Strengthening the foundations of the ERA ERA -Net

  3. NEST objectives • Stimulate visionary long term research at the frontiers of knowledge, and at the interface between disciplines • Give researchers freedom to develop and prove their ideas without preconceptions and within the broadest possible limits

  4. Key characteristics of NEST projects • Open to any area • Research not falling within the Thematic Priorities: multi-disciplinarity • Novel and unconventional • Well focused objectives, which are ambitious but tangible

  5. Modes of operation • Bottom-up: • ADVENTURE projects • INSIGHT projects • SUPPORT 235 M € Overall Budget • Focused actions: • PATHFINDER initiatives

  6. Support Actionsmandate “focused on the conceptual and practical questions associated specifically with the research domain of NEST, will be carried out to assist in the development and exploitation of NEST activities.”

  7. Towards the Seventh Framework Programme2007-2013 European Commission Research DG February 2006

  8. EU research: the story so far • 1952: ECSC treaty; first projects started March 1955 • 1957: EURATOM treaty; Joint Research Centre set up • 1973: BCR programme • 1983: ESPRIT programme • 1984: First Framework Programme (1984-1987) • 1987: “European Single Act” - science becomes a Community responsibility; Second Framework Programme (1987-1991) • 1990: Third Framework Programme (1990-1994) • 1993: Treaty on European Union; role of RTD in the EU enlarged • 1994: Fourth Framework Programme (1994-1998) • 1998: Fifth Framework Programme (1998-2002) • 2000: European Research Area • 2002: Sixth Framework Programme (2002-2006) • 2005: Proposal for the Seventh Framework Programme (2007-2013)

  9. Research Growth and Jobs Education Innovation 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

  10. 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 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

  11. What’s new ? Main new elements compared to FP6: • Annual budget doubled (EUR 5 billion ►10 billion) • Frontier research (~ EUR 1.5 billion per year) • Duration of 7 years • Logistical and administrative tasks transferred to external structures

  12. Budgets of the EU Framework Programmes

  13. FP7 2007 - 2013 Specific Programmes Cooperation – Collaborative research Ideas – Frontier Research People – Human Potential Capacities – Research Capacity + JRC (non-nuclear) JRC (nuclear) Euratom

  14. FP7 budget

  15. European Strategies For International Research Cooperation

  16. Aim of EU research: • Support European competitiveness through strategic partnerships with third countries in selected fields of science • Address specific problems facing third countries on the basis of mutual interest and mutual benefit • Address global challenges within the Communities international commitments (e.g., the UN Millennium Declaration) • Use S&T cooperation to reinforce the Community’s external relationsand other relevant policy

  17. FP7 – Participating countries Full participants of FP7 Candidate Countries MEMBER STATES ASSOCIATED COUNTRIES ACC (TR, BU, RO) NON-ASSOCIATED CANDIDATE COUNTRIES (none) (Croatia) INDUSTRIALISED COUNTRIES INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION PARTNER COUNTRIES Third Countries

  18. International Cooperation Third Countries: Industrialised countries Associated countries International Cooperation Partner Countries: • Countries neighbouring the EU (Mediterranean partner Countries, Western Balkans, Eastern European and Central Asian countries) • Developing countries (ACP, ASIA, Latin America) • Emerging economies (e.g. China, India, Brazil, Russia, South Africa)

  19. FP7 2007 - 2013 Specific Programmes Cooperation – Collaborative research Ideas – Frontier Research People – Human Potential Capacities – Research Capacity + JRC (non-nuclear) JRC (nuclear) Euratom

  20. Cooperation – Collaborative research 9 Thematic Priorities (10 ?) • Health • Food, agriculture and biotechnology • Information and communication technologies • Nanosciences, nanotechnologies, materials and new production technologies • Energy • Environment (including climate change) • Transport (including aeronautics) • Socio-economic sciences and the humanities • Security & Space + Euratom: Fusion energy research, nuclear fission and radiation protection

  21. Cooperation – Collaborative research • Under each theme there will be sufficient flexibility to address both Emerging needsand Unforeseen policy needs • Dissemination of knowledge and transfer of results will be supported in all thematic areas • Support will be implemented across all themes through: Collaborative research (Collaborative projects; Networks of Excellence; Coordination/support actions) Joint Technology Initiatives Coordination of non-Community research programmes (ERA-NET; ERA-NET+; Article 169) International Cooperation

  22. Cooperation – Collaborative research Opening of all themes to third countries • Build S&T partnerships based on mutual interest • Enhance Europe’s competitiveness • Contribute to implementing EU policies and international commitments effectively

  23. Cooperation – Collaborative research Specific International Cooperation actions in themes • Early identification of problems in other parts of the world before these affect Europe • Cooperation with and in third countries in finding solutions to such problems • Dedicated activities within and across themes

  24. Ideas – Frontier Research ERC – European Research Council Commission Scientific Council* • 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 • Approval of work programme, as defined by the Scientific Council • Instruction to implement work programme • Approval of annual implementation report • Information to programme committee 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

  25. International Cooperation in IDEAS “Investigator driven approach” Grants will be provided for individual teams, leaving the flexibility for a team to consist of any grouping of researchers appropriate for the conduct of the project. One single institution or several institutions, in one country or across national borders. In all cases, scientific excellence and not administrative requirements should drive the formation of the teams

  26. International Cooperation in IDEAS • Aim to integrate the Community into the world-wide research community • Open to INCO participants on basis of mutual benefit or according to relevant concluded agreements • Participation of INCO participants to be justified on basis of added scientific value (excellence)

  27. Initial training of researchers Marie Curie Networks Life-long training and career development Individual Fellowships Co-financing of regional/national/international programmes Industry-academia pathways and partnerships Industry-Academia Scheme International dimension Outgoing International Fellowships; Incoming International Fellowships International Cooperation Scheme; Reintegration grants Specific actions Excellence awards People– Human Potential

  28. International Cooperationin PEOPLE • International outgoing fellowships • International incoming fellowships • Partnerships to support exchange of researchers • Support of common initiatives between European organizations and countries with S&T agreements • Measures to counter the risk of ‘brain drain’ from developing countries/emerging economies

  29. Capacities – Research Capacity • Research Infrastructures • Research for the benefit of SMEs • Regions of Knowledge • Research Potential • Science in Society • Activities of International Cooperation

  30. 1. Policy Dialogue 2. S&T Cooperation Partnerships 3. Coordination of National Policies & Activities Capacities – International Cooperation • Mapping of research needs, building commitment, impact assessments, linking S&T to other policies • Involvement of industrial and economic operators, specific focused international activities • Set common goals, strategies and policies, use of S&T inputs in foreign, trade and development policies
