  2. Agenda • MRC’s role within FP7 • Funding opportunities within FP7 • 2012 Health Work Programme • Key points • Topics by activity area

  3. MRC and FP7 MRC has four roles in FP7: • Participant • NCP for the Health Theme – Victoria Brewer • Programme Management Committee (Health) – Mark Palmer • State Representative for Innovative Medicines Initiative – Jill Jones • MRC leads the PMC delegation at the invitation of the Department of Business Innovation and Skills (BIS) • Alternative delegates are: • Department of Health (DH) • Technology Strategy Board • Expert group e.g. UKRO • Joint lead between MRC and BIS

  4. What is FP7 • Main mechanism used by the European Commission to fund research across Europe. • Two main aims: • To strengthen the scientific and technological base of European industry. • To encourage international competitiveness while promoting research that supports EU policies. • How does the EC aim to achieve this? • Pooling resources • Integration of research • Excellence in research • Addressing Specific Needs • Addressing Pan-European challenges • Coordinating national and regional programmes • Conducting comparative research at EU level • Disseminating research result more widely • Assembling critical mass • Enabling “big science” • Leverage private investment • Orphan research • Supporting research careers and mobility of research • Creating world class centres of excellence • EU level competition to increase quality and creativity

  5. FP7 Budget • Seven year funding programme with a budget of around €50.5 Billion To date the UK has received 14% of the overall funding awarded

  6. Ideas – European Research Council • € 7.5bn budget • Managed through the European Research Council (ERC) • Bottom up/investigator led research • Research within your own team – no international collaboration • ERC Early grants • Funding: ~ € 1.5 M for up to 5 year • 2-12 years post PhD at application • UK has received 180* grants to date • ERC-2010-StG call -79/427 went to UK HEI (19%) • ERC Advanced Grants • Funding: ~ € 2.5 M for up to 5 year • “exceptional” research leader • UK has received 172* grants to date • ERC-2010-AdG call - 53/266 went to UK HEI (20%)
