ARTEMIS JTI –Why?

• Leveraging effect: incentive for industry and Member States to increase their R&D funding (Barcelona objectives)

• Pioneering approach in pooling public and private efforts– Governance adapted to public-private partnership:

industry, Member States and Commission– Common objectives and strategy– Single evaluation, selection and project monitoring processes

• Greater flexibility in mobilising resources of Member States towards common goals– First time ever: large scale co-funding of R&D by Community and

Member States• Boosting the competitiveness of EU industry whilst

building the European Research Area
