  1. The FP7 and possible implications for links with New Zealand The 7th Research Framework Programme 2007 - 2013

  2. Lisbon-Strategy: Building up the world-leading knowledgebased Society (3%) Research growth, employment, environment and social goals Education Innovation

  3. Specific Programmes • „Cooperation“ – Collaborative Research • Projects, Networks • „Ideas“ – Frontier Research • European Research Council • „People“ – Human Potential • Exchange, “Marie Curie” • „Capacities“ – Research Capacity • Large Facilities

  4. „Cooperation“ – Collaborative Research 9 themes: • Health • Food, Agriculture and Biotechnology • Information and Communication Technologies • Nanosciences, Nanotechnologies, Materials and new Production Technologies • Energy • Environment (including Climate Change) • Transport (including Aeronautics) • Socio-Economic Sciences and the Humanities • Security and Space

  5. 1. Health • Biotechnology, generic tools and technologies for human health • Translating research for human health: • Biological data and processes • Brain research • Infectious diseases • Major diseases • Optimising the delivery of healthcare to European citizens

  6. 2. Food, Agriculture and Biotechnology • Sustainable production and management of biological resources from land, forest and aquatic environments • „Fork to farm“: Food, health and well being • Life sciences and biotechnology for sustainable non-food products and processes

  7. 3. Information and Communication Technologies • ICT technology pillars • Integration of technologies • Applications research • Future and emerging technologies

  8. 4. Nanosciences, Nanotechnologies, Materials and new Production Technologies • Nanosciences and nanotechnologies • Materials • New production • Integration of technologies for industrial applications

  9. 5. Energy • Hydrogen and fuel cells • Renewable electricity generation • Renewable fuel production • Renewables for heating and cooling • CO2 capture and storage technologies for zero emission power generation • Clean coal technologies • Smart energy networks • Energy efficiency and savings • Knowledge for energy policy making

  10. 6. Environment (incl. Climate Change) • Climate change, pollution and risks • Sustainable management of resources • Environmental technologies • Earth observation and assessment tools

  11. 7. Transport (incl. Aeronautics) • Aeronautics and air transport • Surface transport (rail, road and waterborne) • Support to the European global satellite navigation system (Galileo)

  12. 8. Socio-Economic Sciences and the Humanities • Growth, employment and competitiveness in a knowledge society • Combining economic, social and environmental objectives in a European perspective • Major trends in society and their implications • Europe in the world • The citizen in the European Union • Socio-economic and scientific indicators • Foresight activities

  13. 9. Security and Space • Protection against terrorism and crime • Security of infrastructures and utilities • Border security • Restoring security in case of crisis • Security systems integration and interoperability • Security and society • Security research coordination and structuring • Space-based applications at the service of the European Society • Exploration of space • RTD for strengthening space foundations

  14. „Cooperation“ – Collaborative research • Collaborative research(Collaborative projects; Networks of Excellence; Coordination/support actions) • Joint Technology Initiatives • Coordination of non-Community research programmes (ERA-NET; ERA-NET+; Article 169) • International Cooperation

  15. Joint Technology Initiatives • Hydrogen and Fuel Cells for a Sustainable Energy Future • Innovative Medicines for the Citizens of Europe • Aeronautics and Air Transport • Embedded systems • Global Monitoring for Environment and Security • Towards new Nanoelectronics Approaches Other possible themes to be identified later…

  16. 7th Framework Programme Budget

  17. Co-operation with New Zealand Based on common interest, international co-operation provides a systematic access for both partners to: • ideas and research results • internationally leading scientists • relevant and sometimes unique RTD-infrastructure • RTD-programmes of partner countries with strategic importance • new markets for European products, technologies or knowledge-based services It is a key to European enlargement and good neighbourhood

  18. New Zealand as a partner of the EU-Commission • OECD-Countries outside EU (USA, Kanada, Japan, Rep. Korea, Aus and NZ) • Joint declaration NZ/EU 1999 and Actionplan 2004 • 2003-2006 (NZ and AUS):4.5 Mio € (KAN2.9 and JAP 3.1) with the goals • Building up and strengthening local EU-Centers • Pilotprojects in tertiary education to intensify contacts between the countries.

  19. Bilateral coop as a gateway to the EU • bottom-up, (what can NZ and Ger-researchers do) • as partners in European consortia and networks (open for partners from New Zealand with own money or subcontracted) • as applicants within the EU-NZ/AUS funding scheme based on the STC-agreement NZ/EU, mainly addressing conferences and information measures • Application to open measures of personal exchange like “Marie Curie” • top-down • unilateral funding of enabling /exploratory measures (e.g. visits) • joint funding of bilateral initiatives within the thematic priorities (e.g. ISAT, project oriented mobility • joint conferences and workshops related to the thematic priorities (evtl. with further third countries), awareness building • Joint presentation of applications in Brussels (lobbying)

  20. Specific requirements for a NZ-EU co-operation • scientific excellence • contributing to solving specific problems of third countries with an impact on the EU or with a global impact (e.g. bird flu, climate change) • exploring third countries markets for European products, technologies and knowledge based services • opening „Regions of Knowledge“ for regions in third countries (in particular industrialised countries: AustralAsia??)within the Specific Programme „Capacities” • Enabling access to unique research infrastructure/unique geographical locations in third countries within the Specific Programme „Capacities” based on specific agreements with host organisations

  21. Conclusion: Why thinking about the FP7 in bilateral coop.? • Germany is the mayor not anglosaxonian STC-partner of NZ • For NZ: Use excellent bilateral coop. to enter EU-R&D-networks • For D: Strengthening the lead-position in global R&D through coop. with the worlds best scientists/institutions
