  1. Research activities in the Recovery Plan Roberta Zobbi Policy Officer – European Commission DG Research – Industrial technologies

  2. Adopted by the EC on 26 Nov 2008 and endorsed by the EU Council on 11-12 Dec 2008 Includes ‘smart investment’ in research ‘To support innovation in the manufacturing, construction and automotive sectors, which have recently seen demand plumet as a result of the crisis and which also face significant challenges in the transition to the green economy…’ Three Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) Objective: to promote the convergence of public interest with industrial commitment and leadership in determining strategic research activities Recovery Plan

  3. The 3 Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) research activities: “Factories of the future” initiative Total costs: € 1.2 billion “Energy-efficient buildings” initiative Total costs: € 1 billion “Green Cars” initiative Total costs: € 1 billion Funding by European Commission: ~50% Budget committed over 4 years (2010-2013) Recovery Plan

  4. Public-Private Partnerships • Involvement of industry in the planning and implementation • Quick response needed: impliesuse of existing instruments • 7th Framework Programme • Strategic Research Agendas developed by industry in the European Technology Platforms • Implementation approach: • In 2009, cross-thematic calls for proposals under FP7 • In parallel, exploration of further calls and other options for longer term, e.g. Joint Technology Initiatives

  5. For industry: Why a PPP ? • Industry wants leading role in defining research priorities, time lines, and rules and to be involved in programme implementation. • Multi-annual integrated Work Programme with pre-defined budget, ensuring a long-term continuity in the implementation of research strategies. • The activities go from basic and applied research through to industrial pilots and large-scale demonstration. More emphasis on impact. • Increased use of SME-friendly research instruments

  6. Public Private Partnership:Factories of the Future

  7. Key Players • PUBLIC: • THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION • PRIVATE: • Large Companies: • DAIMLER, SONAE, ALSTHOM, SIEMENS, DANFOSS, COMAU, IDEKO-MONDRAGON, ABB, ROLLS-ROYCE etc. • Large Industrial Associations representing SMEs: • ORGALIME, VDMA, AGORIA, FIM, TEKNIKFOERETAGEN etc. • European Technology Platform: • Manufutureumbrella: over 100 organisations, from more than 20 countries, incl. large OEMs, SMEs, Industrial Associations, Research Institutes, Universities – linked to other ETPs

  8. Challenges • The crisis is severely affecting the manufacturing sector • Manufacturing is a pillar of the European economy • 28 % of the persons employed in the EU • 32 % of the value added in European GDP • Manufacturing activity has a big environmental impact • 28 % of the total energy consumption • 33 % of the overall waste generated

  9. Developing enabling technologies to support EU manufacturing industry across many sectors, to adapt to global competitive pressures by boosting their technological base. 25 industrial sectors, largely dominated by SMEs Objective

  10. Expected results • Sustainable Manufacturing • quiet, clean and safe green production machines • Intelligent Manufacturing • intelligent machines capable of interacting with operators, self-monitoring and self-correct smart production lines • High quality and high performance manufacturing • towards 0 defects, lean and adaptive manufacturing processes • Manufacturing processes for new materials • light-weight/high-performing materials and micro/nano manufacturing (‘portable factory’)

  11. Content of calls 2011 Recovery Package : Public Private Partnerships 5.1 “Factories of the Future” PPP (FoF) – Cross thematic Coordinated Call NMP & ICT Topics covered by NMP - € FoF.NMP.2011-1 The Eco-Factory: cleaner and more resource efficient production in manufacturing - LARGE FoF.NMP.2011-2 Cooperative machines and open-architecture control systems [for the transformation of traditional production line concepts to non-hierarchical agglomerates of manufacturing units] - SMALL FoF.NMP.2011-3 Robots for automation of post-production and other auxiliary processes -SMALL FoF.NMP.2011-4 High tech solutions in the production processes for customised green, safe and healthy consumer products - SMEs FoF.NMP.2011-5 Towards zero-defect manufacturing -LARGE FoF.NMP.2011-6 Manufacturing chains for nano-phased components and coatings - LARGE

  12. Public Private Partnership:Energy-efficient Buildings

  13. Key players • PUBLIC: • THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION • PRIVATE: • Major Industries: • ARUP, BOUYGUES, EDF, ACCIOANA, • MOSTOSTAL, PHILIPS, STIEBEL ELTRON • European Technology Platform: • Construction Platform (ECTP) • connected to other ETPs: Solar Thermal, Photo Voltaic, Steel, Sustainable Chemistry, Wood, Hydrogen….

  14. Challenges Responsible of EU energy consumption 40% • The present rate of construction of new buildings is below 2%, destruction rates are even lower, in the range of 0,5%  Refurbishing is key!!! • Big sector (32 million jobs) heavily effected by the crisis • Citizens energy use to be reduced by 20% by 2020 (lower energy bills!)

  15. Objectives • Reducing the energy • consumption of buildings and its • negative impacts on environment. • Integration of innovative technologies. • Towards the low carbon economy. • Buildings cover their own • energy needs contributing to EU • energy independence • and on long term may become even energy provider Winston Churchil Tower - Rijswijk: Renovation with a double skin facade (internally ventilated)Source: Permasteelisa Group

  16. Torre de Cristal MadridSource: Emmer Pfenninger Partner Expected results • Monitoring tools: Rapid on-site measurement of actual performances • The building envelope: Highly efficient and smart windows • Systems and equipments: Integrated photovoltaic (PV) solutions and ICT for energy efficiency • Environmental technologies: Retrofitting of historic buildings • Standardisation:Pre-normative research, standards • Demonstration:Integration of innovative technologies

  17. Content of calls 2011 Recovery Package : Public Private Partnerships 5.2 “Energy-efficient Buildings (EeB)” PPP – Cross thematic coordinated call NMP, ICT, Energy, Environment Topics covered by NMP EeB.NMP.2011-1 Materials for new energy efficient buildings components with reduced embodied energy - LARGE EeB.NMP.2011-2 New efficient solutions for energy generation, storage and use related to space heating and domestic hot water in existing buildings - LARGE EeB.NMP.2011-3 Energy saving technologies for buildings envelope retrofitting - LARGE EeB.NMP.2011-4 Geo-clusters approach to support European energy-efficiency goals [involving virtual transnational areas/markets with strong similarities] (support action) - CSA

  18. Public Private Partnership:Green Cars
