  2. Core Challenges Communication, Training & Technology Transfer Food Food & Quality & Health Manu- facturing Food Safety - Food & Sustainable Consumer Food Production Food Chain Management • Ensuring that consumers make the healthy choice the easy choice • Delivering a (more) healthy diet • Delivering value-added innovative food products fulfilling consumer requirements for superior product quality, convenience, availability and affordability • Ensuring the production of safe foods that consumers can trust • Achieving sustainable food production • Managing the Food Chain • Communication, Training & Technology Transfer

  3. Reflection on Achievements • ETP Food for Life launched July 2005 on basis of Vision Paper • Board, Operational Committee & Working Groups formed • Successful delivery of • Stakeholder’s proposal of a Strategic Research Agenda (SSRA), • Lead markets document • EU Recognition of the ETP program based on • financial support through a Specific Support Action (SSA) • presence of ETP-SSRA based topics in the FP 7 KBBE programme • Extensive national, regional and web consultations • To ensure participants’ feedback on the SSRA, • To develop plans for alignment / integration of national research programs within transnational or European programmes • Successful creation of Networks, e.g. national food platforms

  4. Groundrules of the ETP • ETP F4L is industry-led, yet based on the vision shared by the stakeholders involved: • alignment & consensus important • Key enabler: responsible partnering / trust / empowerment • The Implementation Plan will be focused on selected technology programs geared to increase competitiveness:  define “portfolio” based on impact on innovation vs budgets needed

  5. Opportunities The IP will catalyse the execution of the portfolio options through • indicating the priorities for Framework programs (theme & topic definition, open calls) • stimulating the creation of ERANets (transnational collaboration; gov’t driven) on Food, Nutrition & Health and Sustainable Food Production/Food Chain Management (from info sharing  joint calls) • stimulating the creation of Eureka themes (industry driven) • stimulating the creation of public-private partnerships with strategic program & project definition and execution • Identifying other “funding opportunities” (COST, European Institute of Technology, European Investment Bank, Venture Capital)

  6. Implementation (Action) Plan. per working group define • The technological dimension • Likely cost of action • Building capacities • Co-operation with industry • Co-operation of National funding agencies • (The impact of legislation on competitiveness) (CIAA)

  7. The technological dimension (5 yrs) • Analyse priorities and rank according to their importance to open up market opportunities • For each research challenge (priority) define activities leading to main deliverables • projects, networks, demo’s, studies • Establish the relevance of the research to small, medium or large enterprises. (high priority to the SME sector) • Develop a set of scenario studies toidentify the major challenges & opportunities to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the (Sustainable) Food Chain)

  8. Likely cost of actions • establish the scale of the resources that are necessary to make substantial progress in a 5-year period (investments in 10, 20 or >50 m Euro) • define the likelihood that these resources could be made available from existing investments (national, EU) or not • define needs for specific training/education programs

  9. Building capacities WGs to consider • need for ERA-Nets in areas of research defined as high priority • other, e.g. large investments in infrastructure etc.: • European Nutrition Research Council • …..

  10. Co-operation (with industry) • Establish willingness for collective industrial support for FP 7 proposals to be submitted under FP7 • (Foster) Cross-disciplinary research centres: need for integration and collaboration • initiatives such as Joint Technology Initiatives or public-private partnerships of smaller scale that can be organised on a regional scale • Develop libraries, databases, bio-banks, standardized protocols, networks of facilities • (Foster) prospective cohort studies (ex. EPIC-study) • European stable isotope standard repository • Standardized food tables • Close interaction with European Bio-informatics Institute • (Define) topics of shared interest with other ETPs • (Define) topics in which SMEs have a collective interest

  11. Co-operation of National funding agencies / Formation of Mirror Group The Mirror Group will comprise representatives from EU Member States (funding agencies), European Commission (DGs Research, Sanco, Innovation), COST, Eureka, ERA-NETs etc. • Its role will be to facilitate and maximise co-ordination of ETP- and nationally-funded activities and projects, • the Mirror Group can influence the Implementation Plan, • the Mirror Group can effectively interact with the ETP Board, • an inventory of the strategic research agendas of national funding bodies can be conducted with a view to identifying overlaps and duplications, leading to • steps taken to harmonise and integrate Member States’ support of research in the agro-food sector. Instalment of a task force to set-up the mirror group • Input needed!

  12. Specific actions targeted at SMEs • assess the most effective activities to promote technology uptake organised at a national, local level, and at the European level For Food, Nutrition & Health • establish activities on Food, Nutrition & Health to the likely benefit to the SME sector ; • establish the barriers to smaller industries that prevent them exploiting, innovation in the key health and welfare driver of the ETP Food for Life • Task Force on smaller industry [SME and MSE] innovation has been installed (chair:Andras Sebok)

  13. Timeline overall • Public/private partnership workshop: Jan 2007 • National Platform meeting: April 2007 • Final SRA May 2007 • Layman’s version of the SRA; idem • Establishment of Mirror Group:May/June 2007 • Draft IP: June/July 2007 (B & OC meeting) • includes SME action pan & Scenario studies • Stakeholder Consultation meeting Sept. 2007 • Mirror Group/Board meeting: Oct. 2007 • Final IP: Dec. 2007 (Potocnik)

  14. What to expect from National Platforms? • Think globally, act locally • Share the ETP vision • Contribute to the Strategic Research Agenda • Be part of the implementation plan: make it happen! Today • Share your experiences and build on others • Seek cooperation Tomorrow • Identify the national representative (government) to be member of the Mirror Group
