  1. Suomen Akatemia 2013: Tutkimus ei tunne rajoja International coordinationmechanisms • - with coordination to success • Arja Kallio • 22.5.2014

  2. International cooperation objectives • Working together tackles common challenges more effectively • Internationality rejuvenates research and upgrades its quality

  3. Coordinationmechanisms • Researchcollaborations, consortia • Jointseminars • Jointworkshops • Researchersmobilityprogrammes • Bilateralresearchcalls • Researchinfrastructures • ERA-NETs • Joint Programming • Globalorganisations

  4. International cooperationobjectives: tasks for fundingagencies Statutory tasks • Scientific cooperation: funding schemes, joint international programmes • Expert tasks in international science policy: expertise European Union – European Research Area • High-level expert groups: strategy • Steering groups and other working groups of Joint Programmes and networks: strategy, administration, best practices • Researchers in the EU Framework Programmes and in the Horizon 2020: encouragement, advice, funding Nordic cooperation • Nordic Council of Ministers and NordForsk Research infrastructures Bilateral partnerships with research funding agencies of non-EU countries

  5. International cooperation objectives:European Research Area • The ‘internal market’ of research: free movement of knowledge and researchers, efficient coordination of actions • Actions under the EU’s competence:Framework programmes for research (FP7 2007–2013, Horizon 2020 2014–2020) • Joint actions by Member States and the EU • ERA-NETs, INCO-Nets and JPIs • ESFRI • Science Europe, ESF and COST • European research institutes: e.g. CERN, EMBL/EMBC, ESA, ESO, EUI, ESFR, FAIR, IIASA • Member States’ own actions to promote the European Research Area • Development and cooperation of national research systems

  6. Partnerships in ESFRI research infrastructures (25)

  7. Memberships in international research infrastructures (19) Biological and medical sciences EMBL European Molecular Biology Laboratory EMBC European Molecular Biology Conference INCF International Neuroinformatics Coordination Facility Material sciences and analytics ESRF European Synchrotron Radiation Facility E-infrastructures and mathematics IMLMittag-Leffler Institute NeIC Nordic e-Infrastructure Collaboration Natural sciences and engineering CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research ESA European Space Agency ESO European Southern Observatory FAIR Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research NOT Nordic Optical Telescope Other IIASA International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis Environmental sciences EISCAT European Incoherent Scatter Association GBIF Global Biodiversity Information Facility ICDP International Continental Scientific Drilling Program IODP Integrated Ocean Drilling Program Energy research EFDA-JET Joint European Torus ITER International Thermonuclea Experimental Reactor JHR MTR Jules Horowitz Material Testing Reactor

  8. ERA-NET instrumentto createco-ordination mechanisms for international research collaboration • ERA-NET instrument was launched in the 6th FP to in order to strengthen the ERA, European Research Area • ERA-NET is an instrument for Research Funders • Tointensify cooperation between research funding organisations by establishing common operating methods and practices for the funding of research programmes • To plan and open mutual national and regional programmes and to plan and open joint international calls • To promote the joint use of research infrastructures • ERA-NET plusinvolves also Commission’s funding to the research • Art. 185cooperation is based on the decision of the the European Parliament and of the Council

  9. ERA-NET / ERA-NET plus / Art. 185 and ERA-NET Cofund • Altogether ca. 150 ERA-NET and ERA-NET plus projects, 5 Art.185 projects have been launched during the FP6 and FP7, including ca. 1000 organisations from ca. 70 countries • AKA has been coordinating two ERA-NETs, BONUS and NORFACE and participated as a partner in ca. 40 separate ERA-NETs • In HORIZON 2020 ERA-NET Cofund instrument is to support public-public partnerships in their preparation, establishment of networking structures, design, implementation and coordination of joint activities as well as topping up of individual joint calls and of actions of a transnational nature

  10. (2013-2017) BONUS Implement-ation Phase Durable collaborative research programme of the Baltic Sea states. Development of BONUS (2011-2013) BONUS StrategicPhase Strategicdevelopment and prepar-ation for the Implementa-tionPhase. (2007-2011) BONUS+ Implementing a Joint Call to test the mechanisms of collaboration among the national funding institutions (2004-2008) BONUS ERA-NET Developing conditions for a Joint Baltic Sea Research Programme (before 2004) Germany: marine research programme Finland: BIREME Sweden: MARE, Aqualiens Article 185 ERANET ERANET Plus

  11. Participating states • Eight EU member states surrounding the Baltic Sea: Denmark, Estonia, Germany, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Sweden • Russia participates through bilateral agreements • 10 funding agencies participate as BONUS members and funding the calls • 12 funding agencies participate as non-members funding the calls only • Funding agencies include both basic research and innovation funders • Total funding EUR 100 million

  12. Boosters of coordination Sector policy drivers: • Research and innovation: European Research Area, Horizon 2020 • Maritime: EU Maritime Policy, Common Fisheries Policy • Environment: MarineStrategy Framework Directive – implementedthroughHELCOM’s Baltic Sea Action Plan • Agriculture, Energy, Traffic and others... Co-operation platform: • Macro-region:EU Strategyfor the Baltic Sea Region iBSG, 17 June 2013

  13. ERA-LEARN - project 2009 - > Funded by the Commission, coordinator FFG / Austria, AKA and RCN involved a.o. Objectives: • to address the needs of the transnational coordination community • to help reduce wasteful use of resources • to support the implementation of streamlined mechanisms and increased mutual learning • to provide tools for analysis of network performance • to highlight the synergies between ERA-NETs and other forms of national and regional research programme coordination • to facilitate high-level analysis of policy related issues in the context of programme coordination and cooperation • to support future developments of transnational programme coordination. http://netwatch.jrc.ec.europa.eu/web/lp/learning-platform

  14. Single labour market for researchers World-class research infrastructures Excellent research institutions and universities Joint Programming ERA Opening of the ERA to the world Effective knowledge sharing European Research AreaBuilding blocks

  15. Joint Programming in Research Joint Programming is a concept which: • Recognises the importance of existing activities and initiatives; • Recognises the increasing need for a new and more strategic approach; • Calls for the implementation of a Member States-led process to step up their R&D cooperation; • Fully recognises the competence of member States and regions over the choice of R&D policies and the related allocation of resources

  16. Global cooperation – China as an example • Bilateral collaboration with key non-European countries • to open opportunities for cooperation with established and emerging science countries • to secure reciprocal funding for research collaboration • focus on thematic grand societal challenges • Non-EU countries and regions prioritised by the Academy of Finland • Brazil, Russia, India, China, the United States, Japan, Chile, Republic of Korea, and South Africa • The first Finnish-Chinese joint call for proposals in 2002 (AF & NSFC)

  17. Coordination of China cooperation in the administration • China Working Group, including members from all the relevant units of the Academy of Finland administration office (Chair + 9 members). • Planning, preparation and execution of joint calls and other joint activities with Chinese partners. • Allocated annual budget of ca. EUR 15 000. • Regular visits to and from Chinese partner organisations. • Since 2012 the Finnish Ministry of Education and Culture has had a dedicated Counsellor for Science and Education in the Finnish Embassy of Beijing. Important contact point and facilitator for the Academy of Finland and other organisations.

  18. Bilateral agreements between the Academy of Finland and Chinese public research funding organisations In 2004 the Academy of Finland renewed co-operation agreements with: • National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) • Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) • Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS)

  19. Forms of Co-operation: CAS, CASS, NSFC

  20. Most recent fields of joint calls (NSFC / AF) • Telecommunication: 5G Networks (2014) • Human mind: Brain plasticity and learning (2013) • Forest research: Forest biodiversity and ecosystem services in a changing environment (2012)

  21. Academy in other EU – China Networks • Co-Reach (2005-2010) • EU-China network of European funding bodies • Phase II will start in 2010 • CAS and CASS as Chinese partners • Asia Noria-Net (2008-2010) • Nordic collaboration with India and China • Funded by NordForsk • Co-ordinated by AF • All Nordic countries represented • Nordic Energy Research Network • Aims at Nordic collaboration with China in the field of energy research • Funded by NordForsk

  22. Proposals to enhancecooperationbetweenNordic and Balticcountries: • In order to get a betterpicture on whatis going on, jointmeetingswouldbeuseful to start with • Jointactivities in infrastructure: Monitoring the BalticSea, climatemonitoring • Jointlocalinfrastructuresin e.g. physics and biosciences • Building jointinfrastructurefor regionalservices • Jointmaster and doctoralprogrammes– canbestarted with jointcourses • Jointwinter and summer schools • Jointfundingopportunities, jointcallsto supportcollaborations
