  2. Presentation outline • European Community history • More than 20 years of Framework Programme history • International Co-operation • Preparing for FP7

  3. The European Union today Democratic countries, committed to working together for peace and prosperity EU-15 Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, UK EU-15 citizens: 370 million GDP: € 8,500 bn EU-25 citizens: 445 million GDP: € 8,860 bn EU-25(since 1 May 2004)Cyprus, Czech Rep., Estonia,Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovenia, Slovakia joining after 2006 Bulgaria, Romania, Croatia, Turkey joining after 2006 Bulgaria, Romania, Turkey • EU’s historical roots lie in WW2: • « Such killing & destruction should not happen again in Europe » • - Robert Schuman, French Foreign Minister on 9 May 1950

  4. Key European institutions & bodies • European Economic & Social Committee Expresses opinions of organised civil society on economic & social issues • Committee of the Regions Expresses opinions of regional and local authorities • European Central Bank Responsible for monetary policy & managing the Euro • European Ombudsman Deals with citizens’ complaints about maladministration by any EU institution or body • European Investment Bank Helps achieve EU objectives by financing investment projects • European Parliament Elected by the peoples of the 25 Member States • Council of the European Union Representing the governments of the Member States • European Commission Driving force and executive body • Court of Justice Ensuring compliance with the law • Court of Auditors Controlling sound and lawful management of the EU budget

  5. Deployment& promotion R&D Policy Lisbon 2000 European Research Area, Eureka, COST, nat’l R&D programmes Broadband access,e-business, e-government, security, e-health, ... “EU: Largest knowledge-basedeconomy by 2010” … towards a ‘single market for research’ … towards ‘online Europe’ Legal & Reg.Policy Entrepreneurship, benchmarking (innovation scoreboard), R&D investment 3% of GDP by 2010, industrial policy, ... Key Policies to achieve the Lisbon goals

  6. 4 Broadband penetration rate in the EU (% of households) 14% January 2004 12% 10% 8% 6% 4% 2% 0% EU15 F A FIN S NL B DK EL IRL L I P UK E D Achievements of eEurope • Internet penetration in European homes has doubled • 90% of companies & schools connected • Internet access prices fell • Broadband connectivity rising • Telecom framework in place • eCommerce legal framework in place • Fastest research backbone network:GÉANT (IPv6-enabled; 10 Gbps) • Internet Security Agency (ENISA) • Many public services now on-line • New Member States are catching up fast

  7. European research policy objectives • To create a “Single Market" for research European Research Area: an area of free movement of knowledge, researchers & technology • To raise R&D investment & to use public R&D financingeffectively http://europa.eu.int/comm/research/era/ Raise R&Dinvestment to 3% of GDPby 2010 (2/3 from industry)
