  2. EU research and innovationTurning the eyes Most of the efforts these last 30 years in R&D were directly linked to industrial policies. In Europe: In the eighties, the eyes were turned towards Japan: technology push (cf. “Framework Programme”) In 2000, the eyes were turned towards USA: competitiveness push (cf. Lisbon Strategy) Today: importance of information technologies, sustainability, social innovation and demand-pull measures – Europe 2020 strategy

  3. European research and innovationA key EU policy Research and Innovation: Third EU policy in budgetary terms (after CAP and Structural funds including more and more RTD&I) FP7: Major instrument for intensification of EU research collaboration Research and Innovation as a major instrument to recover the crisis effects

  4. Role of research and innovation(“3% GDP target”) Source: EU DEMETER project using the NEMESIS model (P. Zagamé)

  5. Towards Horizon 2020 • Lund Declaration (2009): Focus on the EU Grand challenges • Innovation Union (2010): Research and innovation are placed at the heart of the Europe 2020 strategy • Green Paper Towards a CSF for EU Research and Innovation funding (2011) - major changes to: • Make participation easier • Increase scientific and economic impact • Provide better value for money

  6. Horizon 2020 Multiannual financial framework (2011) – « A Budget for Europe 2020 » Three areas for R&I • Excellence in the science base • Tackling societal challenges • Industrial leadership and competitiveness

  7. Consultation on the ChallengeInclusive, innovative and secure societies In addition to the results of the CSF consultation: • A workshop with the stakeholders on 27 June 2011 • A workshop with the Member States and Associates States on 13 July 2011 Slides and synthetic report of the workshops available at: http://ec.europa.eu/research/horizon2020/index_en.cfm
