  1. European Space Activities under the EU Research Programme 7th European Space Weather Week Brugge, 15 November 2010 Mats Ljungqvist Space Research and Development European Commission Brussels

  2. A New Decade: 2010-2020 Political background • President Barroso‘s second term of office • Entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty • Article 189 of the Treaty: EU is given the power to establish a ‘European space programme‘ • Establish ‘appropriate relations with ESA‘

  3. A New Decade: 2010-2020 Priorities for future programmes • Galileo • GMES - Climate change • Space and Security (including SSA) • Space exploration Move from research to operations • Achieved for Galileo • In the pipeline for GMES(GMES Regulation approved on 16/09/2010)

  4. Space in the EU Research Framework Programmes 7th Framework Programme for research and development -FP7 (2007 – 2013) • About € 1.4 billion over 7 years • Programme administration by the Research Executive Agency (REA) • Two main areas of research: • Global Monitoring of Environment and Security - GMES • Strengthening Space Foundations

  5. Strengthening Space Foundations • Focus on upstream aspects, i.e.: • innovative launch/propulsion technologies • Space science and exploitation of science data • Space technologies and components • Space Situational Awareness • Open to international cooperation

  6. European Space Situational Awareness – SSA • A capability for the monitoring and surveillance of the space infrastructure and of space debris • Space weather: impact on telecom infrastructure, power transmission, air transport etc. • Active debris removal • NEO mitigation • Complementary to ESA SSA prep. programme New Space Weather Projects will be presented in Session 1 today!

  7. Opportunities for third countries to participate in FP7 • Space is a global endeavour • Participation in the above areas is possible for researchers from all countries • The active participation of third country partners represents an added value to our programme • Financing of third country participants is possible and has to be justified in the proposal • Strong focus on cooperation with space faring nations like US, Russia, Japan • Also emerging space powers like China, India, South Africa, Brazil

  8. 3.082.000 RUSSIA Results of the 2009 Call for proposals(Third Country Participation)

  9. Topics in the 4th Call for Proposals Focus on upstream aspects, i.e.: • Innovative launch/ propulsion technologies • Exploitation of mission data • Space exploration technologies (robots, access to planetary surfaces) • Prevention of impacts from collision with Near Earth Objects (possibly with US; RU) • Access to space for small scale research missions (e.g. cube-and nanosats) All open to international cooperation

  10. Timeline for the 4th Space call: • 20 July 2010 publication • ec.europa.eu/embrace-space • cordis.europa.eu/fp7 • 25 November 2010 deadline • Dec-Feb2010/2011 evaluation (peer review) by independent experts 5th call 2011 to follow a similar schedule
