Open Materials Research and Innovation in Europe K. J. Kurzydlowski European Materials Forum
European Materials Forum • Launched in 2004 • To stimulate strong contacts between research community and industry • Provides a forum to advocate independent scientific advices • President Prof. Michal KLEIBER • Represented by Prof. K. J. Kurzydlowski, Director of Applied Research Funding Agency of Poland
Open innovation system – funding • In what sense the current system is closed and locked? • Fragmentation in terms • Private and public • National and European • National spending exceeds by far European • 95 to 5% • Approximately 1/3 of spending comes from the National (Domestic) Funding Agencies
On average NF Agencies act separately • Provide funding within administrative borders • Against the intensifying diffusion of business activities • Against the increasing mobility of human resources • A clear need to diffuse the borders between the NFA
Some actions already in place • ERA-NETS, Joint Planning, Eureka, Eurostars • M-era.Net - a European network of public funding organisations and funding programmes on materials science and engineering • 25 European countries • 37 funding organisations, (29 national and 8 regional) • The whole innovation chain from basic to applied research and innovation • A single ERA-NET contract

Sets a stage for further actions, in particular strengthening participation of SMEs • The efficient way is to take advantage of "European coordination groups" • Especially in the field of materials support of such organizations as E-MRS and FEMS • SupporttheEuropeanSMEswithMaterials KIC • Materials KIC with participation of NFA
Innovation system open for SMEs • SME free to apply with public research organizations to NFA disregarding their country of origin • Simple and efficient system for granting access to resources of public research organizations • Access to specialized research infrastructure • The cost of R&D shared by EU and NFA
