2. Fifteen research policies European reserch is recognised as among the best in the world. But when it comes to traslating this scientific excellence into concrete innovation, into wealth and jobs, Europe continues to trail its main competitors Project Strategies and Synergetic Approaches in Modern Geosciences – P.

4. An intrinsic dispersion Centres of excellence can be found in all Member States. But rarely do they rank as global number one in a specific domain. This is explained, among other things, by Europe’s intrinsic dispersion, its fragmented peoples, languages, cultures and scientific traditions. Project Strategies and Synergetic Approaches in Modern Geosciences – P. Gasparini

5. Towards greater co-operation and openness With often substantial resources at theirdisposal, national research programmes are undertaken to a large extent independently of one another. This dispersion effect is definitely a key factor in the present under-performance of Europe’s scientific and technological potential compared with the world’s other research centres, and is preventing Europe from fully exploiting the Union’s human and material resources. The longer-term objective is therefore to achieve greater co-operation between Member States’ research strategies and a mutual opening up of programmes.

8. Basic features of FP6 As the name indicates FP6 is the frame for the EU activities in the field of science, research and innovation. With a budget of 17.5 billion euros for the years 2002 - 2006 it represents about 4 to 5 percent of the overall expenditure on RTD in EU Member States. The main objective of FP6 is to contribute to the creation of the European Research Area (ERA) by improving integration and co-ordination of research in Europe which is so far largely fragmented. At the same time research will be targeted at strengthening the competitiveness of the European economy, solving major societal questions and supporting the formulation and implementation of other EU policies.

11. Network of Excellence (NoE) NoEs are multipartner projects aimed at strengthening scientific and technological excellence on a particular research topic by integrating at European level the critical mass of resources and expertise needed to provide European leadership and to be a world force in a given domain. This expertise will be networked around a joint programme of activities aimed primarily at creating a progressive and durable integration of research capacities of network partners while at the same time advancing knowledge on the topic. Project Strategies and Synergetic Approaches in Modern Geosciences – P. Gasparini

12. Network of Excellence (NoE) The financial regime for NoEs has been built on the following principles: · a grant for integration, as a fixed amount to support the joint programme of activities; · to be calculated taking into account (a) the degree of integration proposed by the consortium, (b) the number of researchers that all participants intend to integrate, (c) the characteristics of the field of research concerned and (d) the joint programme of activities; · to be disbursed in annual instalments, with payment depending primarily on the network’s progress towards achieving a durable integration and on condition that the costs incurred in implementing the joint programme of activities are greater than the grant itself.

13. Integrated Project (IP) IPs are multipartner projects to support objective-driven research, where the primary deliverable is generating the knowledge required to implement the thematic priorities. IPs should bring together a critical mass of resources to reach ambitious goals aimed either at increasing Europe’s competitiveness or at addressing major societal needs. They must contain a research component and may contain technological development and demonstration components, as appropriate, as well as perhaps a training component. A project may be at any point in the research spectrum. A single project may indeed span large parts of the spectrum, i.e. from basic to applied research. Integration within an integrated project may take several forms: - Vertical integration of the full “value-chain” of stakeholders from those involved in knowledge production through to technology development and transfer. - Horizontal integration of a range of multidisciplinary activities. - Activity integration: integrating various research activities from fundamental to applied research and with other types of activity, including take-up activities, protection and dissemination of knowledge, training, etc, as appropriate. - Sectoral integration of actors from private and public sector research organisations, and in particular between academia and industry, including SMEs. - Financial integration of public and private funding, with overall financing plans that may involve the European Investment Bank and co-operation with Eureka.

14. Programmes implemented jointly by several Member States (“Article 169”) This instrument requires co-operation at the level of national governments. It aims at integrating whole national or regional programmes on a particular topic by their joint implementation, e.g. through harmonised work programmes and common, joint or coordinated calls for proposals. Each possible arrangement requires a joint initiative of a number of Member States, possibly represented by their national programmes, and the European Commission in order to generate a proposal. Specific implementation structures will have to be set up. It may be used in all FP activities. The expected Community contribution is from some tens of millions of Euros upwards. Project Strategies and Synergetic Approaches in Modern Geosciences – P. Gasparini

15. Specific Targeted Research Projects (STREP) and Specific Targeted Innovation Projects (STIP) STREPs and STIPs are multipartner research, demonstration or innovation projects. They are an evolved form of the shared-cost RTD projects and demonstration projects used in FP5. Their purpose is to support research, technological development and demonstration or innovation activities of a more limited scope and ambition than IPs. The Community contribution may range from hundreds of thousands of Euros to a few millions of Euros and is paid as a grant to the budget (percentage of total costs of the project). There must be a minimum of three participants from three different Member States or Associated States of which at least two are from Member States or Associated Candidate States. Different minimum numbers may be specified in the calls for proposals. Special conditions for minimum numbers of participants apply for the “Specific international co-operation activities (INCO)” part of the programme (to be specified in the work programme). STREPs are used in implementing the priority thematic areas, in other areas supporting Community policies and anticipating scientific and technological needs, in specific international co-operation research activities, and in research activities developing harmonious relations between science and society. STIPs are used in activities esplorino, validating and disseminating new innovation concepts and methods at European level. Project Strategies and Synergetic Approaches in Modern Geosciences – P.

16. Coordination Action (CA) CAs are multi-partner actions intended to promote and support the networking and coordination of research and innovation activities. They are a reinforced form of the concerted actions/thematic networks used in FP5. They will cover the definition, organisation and management of joint or common Coordination Action (CA) CAs are multi-partner actions intended to promote and support the networking and coordination of research and innovation activities. They are a reinforced form of the concerted actions/thematic networks used in FP5. They will cover the definition, organisation and management of joint or common initiatives as well as activities such as the organisation of conferences, meetings, the carrying out of studies, exchanges of personnel, the exchange and dissemination of good practice, setting up common information systems and expert groups. EU funding is given for the costs of co-ordination (not for the research) in the form of a grant to the budget of up to 100% of the budget. There must be a minimum of three participants from three different Member States or Associated States of which at least two are from Member States or Associated Candidate States. Different minimum numbers may be specified in the calls for proposals. Special conditions for minimum numbers of participants apply for the “Specific international co-operation activities (INCO)” part of the programme (to be specified in the work programme).

19. ERDF European Regional Development Fund OBJECTIVE To specify the scope of assistance from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) during the period 2000-2006, taking as a basis the aim of the Fund, which is to promote economic and social cohesion by correcting the main regional imbalances and participating in the development and conversion of regions, while ensuring synergy with assistance from the other Structural Funds. Project Strategies and Synergetic Approaches in Modern Geosciences – P. Gasparini

20. SUMMARY Framework and tasks 1. Regulation (EC) No 1783/1999 comes under the overall framework established by Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 laying down general provisions on the Structural Funds (general Regulation). It requires the ERDF to provide assistance under the new Objectives 1 and 2, the Community initiatives for cross-border, transnational and interregional cooperation (Interreg III) and economic and social regeneration of cities and urban neighbourhoods in crisis (Urban II), and innovative measures and technical assistance measures under the general Regulation. 2. In order to reduce the gap between the levels of development of the various regions and the extent to which the least-favoured regions and islands (including rural areas) are lagging behind, the ERDF contributes to the harmonious, balanced and sustainable development of economic activity, to a high degree of competitiveness, to high levels of employment and protection of the environment, and to equality between women and men. Project Strategies and Synergetic Approaches in Modern Geosciences – P. Gasparini

21. Scope • 3. As part of its task to promote regional development, the ERDF contributes towards financing the following measures: • Productive investment to create and safeguard sustainable jobs; • Investment in infrastructure which contributes, in regions covered by Objective 1, to development, structural adjustment and creation and maintenance of sustainable jobs, or, in all eligible regions, to diversification, revitalisation, improved access and regeneration of economic sites and industrial areas suffering from decline, depressed urban areas, rural areas and areas dependent on fisheries. Such investment may also target the development of trans-European networks in the areas of transport, telecommunications and energy in the regions covered by Objective 1; • Development of the endogenous potential by measures which support local development and employment initiatives and the activities of small and medium-sized enterprises; such assistance is aimed at services for enterprises, transfer of technology, development of financing instruments, direct aid to investment, provision of local infrastructure, and aid for structures providing neighbourhood services; • Investment in education and health (only in the context of Objective 1). • 4. The areas in which these measures provide support include development of the productive environment, research and technological development, development of the information society, protection and improvement of the environment, equality between men and women in the field of employment, and transnational, cross-border and inter-regional cooperation. • 5. Pursuant to the general Regulation, the Community's Interreg III initiative and innovative measures (studies, pilot projects, exchanges of experience) in the field of regional or local development are financed exclusively by the ERDF. However, the scope of the ERDF may be extended to overlap with the other Structural Funds in order to cover the necessary measures for the implementation of the initiative programmes or pilot projects concerned.
