  1. Introduction to the 7th Framework Programme (FP7)

  2. Introduction to FP7 Agenda • Background • FP7 Structure • FP7 Budget • Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (CIP) • Next steps in FP7 development • Preparing for FP7 Introduction to FP7

  3. 1. Background Background: Framework Programme • The Framework Programme (FP) is the European Union's main instrument for funding research and development • FPs have been implemented since 1984, and generally • cover a period of five years • with the last year of one FP overlapping with the first year of the following FP • The current FP is FP6 which will run up to the end of 2006 Introduction to FP7

  4. 1. Background Background: FP7 • Overall goal of FP7 is to strengthen EU research and competitiveness • Designed to carry Europe further towards a knowledge economy and society • FP7 is proposed to • Run for seven years, from 2007 to 2013 • Will not overlap with FP6 FP7 is not yet approved Introduction to FP7

  5. 1. Background Background: FP7 Budget • Overall budget is Euro 72.7 Billion • Equal to Euro 10.4 Billion per year • Higher budget than previous FPs • FP6 total budget equal to Euro 17.5 Billion • FP5 total budget equal to Euro 14.9 Billion Introduction to FP7

  6. 1. Background Background: FP Budgets Introduction to FP7

  7. 2. FP7 Structure Structure of FP7 • Four basic components of FP7 • Cooperation • Ideas • People • Capacities • Also, relatively minor component of, non-nuclear actions of the Joint Research Centre Introduction to FP7

  8. 2. FP7 Structure Four Basic Components of FP7 Cooperation Ideas People Capacities • Support to cooperation • between • Universities • Industry • Research centres • Public authorities • In order to lead key • scientific and • technology areas Funding for basic or 'frontier' research by individual teams competing at European level • Support to • Training • Mobility • Careers development • Through reinforced • 'Marie Curie actions' • In order to strengthen • the human resources • for European research • Enhance research and • innovation capacity by • developing research • infrastructures and • supporting • Regional research • driven clusters • SMEs • Closer relationships • between science and • society • International • cooperation 61% of FP7 Budget 16% of FP7 Budget 10% of FP7 Budget 10% of FP7 Budget Introduction to FP7

  9. 2.1 FP7 Structure: Cooperation Component 1: Cooperation Cooperation • Objective: Support the whole range of research activities • Carried out in trans-national cooperation • From collaborative projects and networks, to • The coordination of research programmes • Including international cooperation between the EU and • third countries • Support to cooperation • between • Universities • Industry • Research centres • Public authorities • In order to lead key • scientific and • technology areas • Three major axes • Collaborative Research – Building up European excellence • Joint Technology Initiatives and Technology Platforms • Co-ordination among national research programmes & FP7 61% of FP7 Budget Introduction to FP7

  10. 2.1 FP7 Structure: Cooperation Collaborative Research • Core of FP7 research funding • Objective is to establish excellent research projects and networks able to attract researchers and investments from Europe and the world • Range of funding schemes, e.g. • Collaborative projects, Networks of Excellence, Co-ordination/support actions • Nine themes for Collaborative Research Introduction to FP7

  11. 2.1 FP7 Structure: Cooperation Nine Themes for Collaborative Research Health Collaborative research organized into 9 themes Themes defined to allow priorities to be adapted to evolving research needs during FP7 Multi-disciplinary approach by cross-thematic approaches to research and technology Food, agriculture & biotechnology Information & communication technologies Nanosciences, nanotechnologies, materials & new production technologies Energy Environment (including climate change) Socio-economic sciences & the humanities Transport (including aeronautics) Security & space Introduction to FP7

  12. 2.1 FP7 Structure: Cooperation Joint Technology Initiatives and Technology Platforms • There are 29 European Technology Platforms (ETPs) • ETPs focus on strategic issues where • Europe's competitiveness, economic growth and welfare depend on important research and technological progress in the medium to long term • ETPs bring together stakeholders, under industrial leadership, to define and implement a Strategic Research Agenda FP7 will contribute to these Strategic Research Agendas when they present true European added value Introduction to FP7

  13. 2.1 FP7 Structure: Cooperation Joint Technology Initiatives and Technology Platforms Three-stage development process for ETPs Individuals and organizations can apply to join an ETP Introduction to FP7

  14. 2.1 FP7 Structure: Cooperation Joint Technology Initiatives and Technology Platforms • Joint Technology Initiatives mainly result from the work of an ETP • Joint Technology Initiatives are used when the scale of the resources involved justifies setting up long term public private partnerships • Covering a small number of selected aspects of research in the chosen field FP7 will support a limited number of Joint Technology Initiatives Introduction to FP7

  15. 2.1 FP7 Structure: Cooperation Coordination between National Research Programmes • Two measures foreseen • A reinforced ERA-NET scheme (ERA-NET +) • New pilot initiatives undertaken under national research programmes - e.g. GALILEO • Also used to enhance the complementarity between FP7 and activities carried out in the framework of intergovernmental structures such as EUREKA and COST Introduction to FP7

  16. 2.2 FP7 Structure: Ideas Component 2: Ideas • Objective: Enhance the dynamism, creativity and excellence of European research at the frontier of knowledge • By supporting "investigator-driven" research projects by individual teams in competition at the European level • EU activities in frontier research will be implemented by a European Research Council (ERC), composed of • A scientific Governing Council • A dedicated implementation structure. • Research areas covered will be independent of the thematic orientations of other parts of the FP, and will include engineering, social sciences and the humanities. Ideas Funding for basic or 'frontier' research by individual teams competing at European level 16% of FP7 Budget Introduction to FP7

  17. 2.2 FP7 Structure: Ideas ERC – Governing Council • Made up of independent representatives appointed by the EC following an independent procedure • The governing council will • Oversee decisions on the type of research to be funded • Develop the annual work programme • Establish the peer review process • Monitor the programme's implementation to control quality from a scientific perspective Introduction to FP7

  18. 2.3 FP7 Structure: People Component 3: People • Objective: Strengthen, both quantitatively and qualitatively, the human potential in research and technology in Europe • Methods include • Initial training of researchers via Marie Curie Networks • Life-long training and career development • Industry-academia pathways and partnerships • Support the creation of a genuine European labour market for researchers People • Support to • Training • Mobility • Careers development • Through reinforced • 'Marie Curie actions' • In order to strengthen • the human resources • for European research 10% of FP7 Budget Introduction to FP7

  19. 2.4 FP7 Structure: Capacities Component 4: Capacities • Objective: Enhance research and innovation capacities throughout Europe and ensure their optimal use through measures targeted at 6 topics: • Research infrastructures • Research for the benefit of SMEs • Regions of knowledge • Research potential of Convergence Regions • Science in society • International co-operation. Capacities • Enhance research and • innovation capacity by • developing research • infrastructures and • supporting • Regional research • driven clusters • SMEs • Closer relationships • between science and • society • International • cooperation Also aims to support the coherent development of policies, complementing the Cooperation programme, and contributing to Community policies and initiatives to improve the coherence and impact of Member States policies 10% of FP7 Budget Introduction to FP7
