  1. Opportunities for collaborating with the JRC Dr. G.Caratti Warsaw 26-11-02

  2. The rationale • More than 20% of all EU legislation has a significant S&T basis • (e.g. food, chemicals, environment, energy) • Advanced analytical requirements, e.g. GMOs • Harmonization - Best practice - Validation • Training + Reference • DG JRC provides in-house scientific and technical support to Community policymaking, in partnership with Policy DGs and EU Member States, Candidate Countries and Associated States

  3. The organisation of the JRC 7 Institutes in 5 Member States IE - Petten The Netherlands - Institute for EnergyStaff:  180 IRMM- Geel Belgium - Institute for Reference Materials and Measurements Staff:  220 ITU - Karlsruhe Germany - Institute for Transuranium Elements Staff:  250 IPSC - IHCP - IES - IspraItaly - Institute for the Protection and the Security of the Citizen - Institute for Health and Consumer Protection - Institute for Environment and Sustainability Staff:  350, 250, 370 IPTS -SevilleSpain - Institute for Prospective Technological StudiesStaff:  100 Total staff:  2200 Total budget:  300 ME/y

  4. JRC Enlargement Programme Opportunities for the Candidate Countries (CCs) include: • Build of projects on JRC core projects to focus on specific CCs needs •Workshops and advanced training on S&T aspects of EU legislation •Joint project development in response to Call for Proposals •Hosting schemes for CC visiting scientists, experts and grant-holders

  5. JRC and Enlargement (1) 18JRC projects in 7 Areas targeted at CC needs JRC budget: 20MEuro (FP5) • Harmonisation of Measurements • Environment • Food Safety&Quality • Health • Agriculture • Prospective Analysis/Impact of Enlargement on the EU • Nuclear • Air quality and emissions control • Natural & technological hazards • Toxic mining waste • Geographic Information Systems • Radioactive Monitoring • Solar Energy • Reactor&Fuel Safety • Safeguards, Illicit Trafficking

  6. Example: Emissions and Air Quality Extension to pre-accession countries of emission standards from vehicles and stationary sources (e.g. Euro 3 & 4, IPPC directive, ...) and air quality measurements • JRC introduced CC to EU state-of-the-art measurement technologies • Various workshops, training courses , conferences organised with the CC • Emissions inventory in CC Ispra’s Vela lab

  7. Example of collaboration: floods • The JRC analysed flood mitigation scenarios to reduce flood risk and assess damage in the Oder catchment • Further studies planned for the Elbe, Danube and other trans-boundary river systems • Research aims at forecasts up to one week (current standard: two days) and damage mitigation strategy • Collaboration with theNational water authorities Land use map of the Oder

  8. Example: Support to Common Agricultural Policy The MARS Bureau provides technical support to CC in the integrated use of geomatic techniques (remote sensing, GIS, GPS) for the implementation and control of the CAP. Focus is on • Development of an Integrated Administration and Control System (digital mapping) • vineyard registers;crop yield monitoring and forecasting • Characterisation of the agricultural context (farm structure, parcel sizes, land use) • Exchange of best practices and training

  9. Some results of the JRC Enlargement Action 2002 • Some 60 workshops/training courses and parallel campaigns conducted jointly organised with policy DGs (mainly ENV, AGRI, TREN, SANCO, ENTR) • More than 1200 CC Experts trained in these workshops (many designated via the CC missions to the EU) • The JRC hosted from Jan to Oct 2002, 67 temporary staff from CC (visiting scientists, DNE or grantholders)

  10. JRC and the Enlargement (2) To promote collaboration with CCs/ support for implementation of acquis - 60 specializedworkshops and trainingcourses organized in 2002 Examples of Training and Workshops Information at http://www.jrc.cec.eu.int/enlargement Nomination via CC missions to the EU

  12. JRC applies to FP6 calls on “equal footing” and on “competitive basis” ‘equal to all other organisations) Information on JRC Workplan 2002 is available on www.jrc.cec.eu.int (consult “publications”) Possible proposals for submission of joint proposals could be routed via either the the JRC institutes, DSS (Brussels) or NCP (or vice-versa) Offers for cooperation will be considered Cooperation in FP6 (indirect actions)
