Structure
China and the EU’s Framework Programme for Research (FP)
Actions to support the mobility of researchers
The Framework Programme
The EU’s research funding programme. Every year, thematic calls for proposals are launched. Research entities (Universities, institutes, companies…)
team up to apply for funding with a complete research proposal.
Chinese partners can participate in the FP: All calls are open to the participation of non-EU countries. China being an International Cooperation Partner Country
(ICPC), Chinese partners are entitled to receive funding. Some calls will specifically target regions or countries.
6° Framework Programme
FP6 (2002-2006) was a strong tool for EU-China research cooperation
China, a very active non-EU country in FP6 Second non-EU country in terms of funds received Chinese partners took part in almost 200 research projects
with 380 participations. For the Chinese partners, this meant collaboration with more than 3.300 non-Chinese partners.
The total budget of these projects represented 1.1 billion€. Of this total, the European Commission’s contribution amounted to 67%.
7° Framework Programme:
What is new? Main new elements compared to FP6:
Duration increased from five to seven years (2007-2013)
Total budget increased by 60%: 53 Billion€Fundamental research as well
1. Information and communication technologies (9.1 Bln €)
2. Health (6.1 Bln €)3. Transport (including aeronautics) (4.2 Bln €) 4. Nanosciences, nanotechnologies, materials
and new production technologies (3.5 Bln €)5. Security and space (2.8 Bln €)6. Energy (2.4 Bln €)7. Environment (including climate change) (1.9 Bln €)8. Food, agriculture and biotechnology (1.9 Bln €)9. Socio-economic sciences and the humanities (623
M€)
Nine themes
7° Framework Programme:Main topics
7° Framework Programme:
EU-China Cooperation After 1.5 year of running, FP7 has already more
than 100 projects including Chinese participants
All calls for proposals are open to Chinese participation
5 November 2008: EU-China S&T Agreement Steering Committee
Agreement for the setting-up of strategic, co-funded projects in areas of common interest
2009 will be the first year of this EU-China common research programme
Mobility of Researchers A strong mobility of researchers is the key factor for the
establishment of a strong S&T cooperation
Several actions in support of EU-China mobility of researchers.
Marie-Curie Fellowships
Science & Technology Fellowships – China (STF)
International Research Staff Exchange Scheme (IRSES)
Euraxess-links China, network of EU researchers in China
Marie Curie fellowships:
Outgoing International Fellowships (OIF): For Europeans researchers who want to work outside the EU
Incoming International Fellowships (IIF): For no-EU researchers who want to work in the EU
At least 4 years after graduation (post doc) Proposal submitted by the researcher together with the host organization For 1 to 2 years Salary plus contribution towards research related costs Eventually 1-year return phase for researchers from China
A very competitive international programme!
Mobility of Researchers:Marie Curie Fellowships
Mobility of Researchers:STF - China
Individual fellowships for young EU researchers who want to come the China
6-month intensive language and culture training + 18 months in a Chinese research laboratory
Monthly allowance, installation allowance, 2 round trips to Europe
Open to all research fields Around 32 years old, minimum 2 years research experience
Next call for proposals: Summer 2009
STF: Science & Technology Fellowships - China. First Call: 30 EU young researchers will come to China early 2009
Beijing, 14
Harbin, 3
Shanghai, 2
Hong Kong, 2
Mobility of Researchers:STF - China
Mobility of Researchers:IRSES
Strengthen sustainable research partnerships between EU and non-EU research institutions
Not mobility programme for individual career development! Based on joint programmes of researchers exchange between at least 2
EU entities from 2 EU countries and 1 non-EU entity Only funds mobility between EU and non-EU country Short-term exchanges (up to 1 year)… But total Exchange Programme duration: 2 to 4 years Coordinator must be from an EU country No restriction of size. NEW CALL FOR PROPOSALS OPENED: 25 November 2008 with deadline
in March 2009
Mobility of Researchers:Euraxess-links China
Euraxess-links China A network of EU researchers in China. Conceived as a way to reinforce EU-China S&T Cooperation. Survey results presented in Beijing in May 2008 To be launched in January 2009. Already 2 existing: in US and Japan
