The Commission proposal for the 7th Framework Programme 2007-2013 COM(2005)118, 119 ; 6.4.2005 Peter Härtwich Directorate Coordination of Community Actions DG Research, European Commission
Lisbon agenda – the quintessence • Solve the equation between economic growth, competitiveness and employment on the one hand, and social and environmental sustainability on the other • The eminent role of knowledge: • We cannot compete on the basis of exploitation of natural resources • We cannot and do not want to compete at the expense of our environment • We do not want to compete on the basis of cheap labour
Justification of the proposal • Comparison of research and technology indicators Europe-US-Japan • Effects of R&D on economic performance • Impacts of past Framework Programmes • Justification for the necessity of reinforced action at European level Working document on FP7 Extended Impact Assessment
FP7: Evolution not revolution Continued from FP6: • Collaborative research as main pillar • Marie Curie actions (further reinforced) • SME-specific actions • Basic funding schemes, procedures and rules
FP7: What will be new? • 7 years duration • Doubling of budget (5bln/a → 10 bln/a)? • Frontier research (European Research Council, 1.5 bln €? per year) • Joint Technology Initiatives • Funding for new infrastructures • Simplification • Externalisation of management
Specific Programmes Cooperation – Collaborative research Ideas – Frontier Research People – Human Potential Capacities – Research Capacity + JRC (non-nuclear) JRC (nuclear) Euratom
Cooperation – Collaborative research 9 themes • 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 and Space
Cooperation – Collaborative research Horizontal issues Under each theme there will be sufficient flexibility to address • Emerging needs • Unforeseen policy needs • Dissemination of knowledge and transfer of results • International cooperation
Cooperation – Collaborative research Schemes for implementation 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)
Joint Technology Initiatives Global Monitoring for Environment and Security Hydrogen and Fuel Cells for a Sustainable Energy Future Aeronautics and Air Transport Towards new Nanoelectronics Approaches Innovative Medicines for the Citizens of Europe Embedded systems Other possible themes to be identified later…
Ideas - The basic concepts • Investigator-driven research • All areas of science and technology • Excellence through competition • Scientific autonomy • Individual teams
Ideas ERC – European Research Council Scientific Council* • Scientific strategy and work programme1 • Implementation methods (peer review systems, accreditation of peer reviewers, panels…) • Assurance that proposals retained on basis of peer review rank order • Overall quality assurance Externalised tasks (exec agency)** • Information and support to applicants • Reception / eligibility of proposals • Organisation and execution of evaluation • Grant preparation and financing • Scientific and financial follow-up of contracts * Commission decisions on the scientific aspects of ERC operations must follow the Scientific Council unless the integrity of the ERC is at stake * * Under the responsibility of the Commission
People– Human Potential 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
Capacities – Research Capacity 6 parts • Research Infrastructures • Research for the benefit of SMEs • Regions of Knowledge • Research Potential • Science in Society • Activities of International Cooperation
Next steps • Decision on financial perspectives? • Commission proposal on Rules for Participation: Dec. 2005 • Adoption by Council and Parliament: autumn 2006? • First calls: end 2006?
