FP 6 Priority 7: Citizens and Governance in a knowledge-based Society

This program aims to support and develop social sciences and humanities research in areas of policy relevance while fully exploiting the opportunities of the European Research Area. It focuses on the implications of European integration and enlargement for governance and the citizen, areas of responsibility and new forms of governance, resolution of conflicts and restoration of peace and justice, and new forms of citizenship and cultural identities.

  1. FP 6 Priority 7:Citizens and Governance in a knowledge-based Society Dr. Peter Fisch DG Research K.4

  2. Roadmap • Priority 7 • Context, Research Areas, Key Elements • Implementation • Instruments, Budget • Evaluation • Procedures, Criteria • First Call • Structure, Research topics • Info

  3. Priority 7General Context • European Research Area (ERA) • Long-term strategic policy objective for EU and Member States • 6th Framework Programme (FP6) • Main EU instrument to support ERA • “Integrating” Programme • Focus on Thematic Priorities • Priority 7 “Citizens and governance in a knowledge-based society” • Focal point for social sciences and humanities

  4. Priority 7Objectives of the programme • Support and develop Social Sciences and Humanities to produce high quality research in areas of policy relevance ... • … while structuring Social Sciences and Humanities in such a way to fully exploit the opportunities of the emerging European Research Area

  5. Priority 7Political Context • Lisbon Summit 2000 fixed ambitious objectives for EU • Knowledge base for managing the transition process … • … and identification of new challenges • Comparative dimension • Multidisciplinarity; integrative approach

  6. Priority7 Knowledge-based Society (1) Generation, Distribution, Use of Knowledge (2) Options & Choices for the development of a knowledge-based Society (KBS) • Quality of Life; Social Cohesion;Labour Market Policies; Life-long Education;Sustainable Development … (3) Variety of Paths towards KBS • Transition Processes at EU, national, regional Level

  7. Priority 7Citizens and Governance (4) Implications of European Integration and Enlargement for Governance and the Citizen (5) Areas of Responsibility and new Forms of Governance (6) Resolution of Conflicts and Restortion of Peace and Justice (7) New Forms of Citizenship and cultural Identities

  8. Priority 7New features • Embedded in the Lisbon Process: Comparative research as key ingredient for open method of coordination • Integration of additional research communities: Humanities, Law, Peace and Justice ... • Foster deeper and broader cooperation in broad research areas

  9. Priority 7Key Elements in view of the ERA (1) • Rigorous comparative research (IP and STRP) • Meaningful cooperation within and between disciplines • Common/Shared infrastructures (NoE and IP mainly) • Reviews of the state-of-the-art for broader dissemination • Scientific knowledge base for policy making (Provide evidence on topical issues)(NoE and IP mainly)

  10. Priority 7Key Elements in view of the ERA (2) • Mapping of research competencies • Links with national programmes or activities (NoE and IP) • Involvement of users and stakeholders • Keep consortia open for new partners (NoE and IP) • Specialised training programmes (NoE)

  11. ImplementationThe instruments to be used • Networks of Excellence (NoE) • Integrated Projects (IP) • Specific targeted research Projects (STRP) • Coordination Actions (CA) • Specific Support Actions (SSA)

  12. ImplementationNetworks of Excellence • Structuring the European Research Area • Integrating research capacities from national programmes/activities • Long-term perspective • “Top-down” area definition • Duration: 5 years • Financial support: 3 - 7 Million Euro

  13. ImplementationIntegrated Project • Ambitious, targeted research endeavour • Clearly defined objectives • Aiming at results of “direct relevance” • “Top-down” definition of key issues • Duration: 5 years • Financial support: 3 - 7 Million Euro

  14. ImplementationSpecific Targeted Research Project • Basic features similar to “traditional” RTD Projects in FP4 and FP5 • Emphasis on developing excellence • Preparing the ground for future NoE/IP • “Bottom-up” definition of specific topics • Duration: 3 years • Financial support: around 1 Million Euro

  15. ImplementationCoordination Actions • Basic features similar to “traditional” Thematic Networks in FP4 and FP5 • Emphasis on cordination of activities (meetings, information system etc.) • “Bottom-up” definition of specific topics • Duration: 3 years • Financial support: around 0.7 Million Euro

  16. ImplementationSpecific Support Actions • Basic features similar to “traditional” Accompanying Measures in FP4 and FP5 • Direct link to programme activities • “Top-down” definition of issues • Duration: 3 years max. • Financial support: around 0.1 Million Euro

  17. ImplementationSome first reflections on the budget • Total Budget: 225 Million Euro A possible scenario(for “intelligent illustration”) Instrument Number Expenditure of Projects in Million Euro • NoE 20 80 • IP 20 80 • STRP 45 45 • CA 15 10 • SSA 30 3

  18. EvaluationGeneral Aspects • Priority 7 will continue to use a “one-stage” procedure until further notice • Greater diversity of instruments will lead to greater diversity in evaluation procedures • More flexible system to invite high quality evaluators • All blocks of criteria with equal weighting • Thresholds per block and overall (x out of 5)

  19. EvaluationNetworks of Excellence • Relevance to the objectives of the (3) programme • Potential Impact (3) • Excellence of participants (3) • Degree of integration and the joint programme of activities (4) • Organisation and management (3) Overall threshold: 4

  20. EvaluationIntegrated Projects • Relevance to the objectives of the (3) programme • Potential Impact (3) • S&T Excellence (4) • Quality of the consortium (3) • Quality of the management (3) • Mobilisation of resources (3) Overall threshold: 4

  21. EvaluationSpecific Targeted Research ProjectsCoordination Actions • Relevance to the objectives of the (3) programme • STRP: S&T Excellence / CA: Quality of coordination (4) • Potential Impact (3) • Quality of the consortium (3) • Quality of the management (3) • Mobilisation of resources (3) Overall threshold: 3.5
