Future implementation: Input and Advice
Marimon report and recommendations
“The New Instruments introduced in FP6 are a powerful means to foster transnational collaborative research in the European Research Area…. The New Instruments should therefore be maintained in FP 7. There are however many design and implementation aspects that need to be improved”
Better differentiation of instruments according to their objectives, in particular STREPs and IPs
“Critical mass” depends on the topic and does not necessarily mean “large”
A greater budget for STREPsFurther simplification of administrative procedures and financial
rules
Commission response in SeptemberCorrective measures in FP6 : already adopted and implemented or
to be adopted (those which do not imply a modification of the legal framework);
Considerations for FP7

Future implementation:Input and advice (2)
2003 Monitoring Report“The panel concluded that the overall implementation of the Framework Programme in 2003 was carried out in an efficient fashion, in so far as the evidence allowed us to see, and that the evaluation procedures had been fair and of high quality”
5 year Assessment Report due at beginning of 2005
10
Future implementation: calls for proposals
Calls more focused and prescriptive about instruments
Greater emphasis on STREPs (depending on call)
Moving to electronic only applications
Further use of two stage procedureE.g. Call for Priority 5, published on 14 July

PART II
Towards FP7
12
Strategic Objectives for EU Research Policy
Strengthening research excellence
Creating the European Research AreaGreater coordination of research policies and activities
Increasing research investment Towards 3% of GDP by 2010, with 2/3 financed by
industry
EU to become the world’s most dynamic and competitive knowledge economy
13
Commission proposals: financial perspectives
Commission communications (February, July 2004) on the proposed Financial Perspectives covering the period 2007-13
Lisbon agenda, sustainable development, competitiveness as priorities
Significant increase (doubling) of research budget as a necessity to progress more rapidly on the Lisbon agenda
Increasing the added value of EU actions, complementing and reinforcing national actions
14
Commission proposals:future EU research policy
Commission communication on future research policy (June 2004)
Increasing the value added and impact of RTD actions
Focusing support on major objectives for Europe, with a balance between:
Continuing and strengthening current approaches New activities to meet new needs
Launching a wide debate and public consultation on the way forward for the 7th Framework Programme
15
Commission proposals: Value added of EU actions
Pooling and leveraging resourcesAssembling critical mass, enabling “big science”,
leveraging private investment
Fostering excellence in researchSupporting European research careers and mobility of
researchers, creating world class centres of excellence, EU level competition to drive up quality and creativity
Better integration of EU research Addressing pan-European challenges, coordinating
national and regional policies, conducting comparative research at EU level, disseminating research results more widely
16
Commission proposals: focusing support on major objectives
Collaborative research
Basic research, competitive funding
Technology initiatives
Human resources
Research infrastructures
Coordination of national
programmes
6 axes

new
17
Commission proposals:Continuing and reinforcing activities
Collaborative research
Creating European centres of excellence through collaboration between laboratories
Continuity with FP6, but with improvements, e.g. regarding instruments, procedures etc.
Focused prioritiesWhere European value added is greatestTo support EU policy objectives
18
Commission proposals:Continuing and reinforcing activities
Human resources
Making Europe more attractive for the best researchers
Build on success of Marie Curie actions
Trans-national, trans-sectoral, and industry-academia mobility
Research careers and life-long learning
International dimension
19
Commission proposals:Continuing and reinforcing activities
Research infrastructure
Developing research infrastructure of European interest
Continued support for transnational access, networking and improved performance
Support to construction and operation of new infrastructures
Role for “European Strategic Forum for Research Infrastructures” (ESFRI)
20
Commission proposals:Continuing and reinforcing activities
Coordination of programmes
Improving the coordination of national and regional research programmes
Reinforce ERA-Net scheme and extend funding to research activities
Use of Article 169
Reinforce links with other European research organisations
21
Commission proposals: Creating new approaches
European technology initiativesLaunching public private partnerships for research in key
technologies
Formation of “technology platforms” with key stakeholders
Definition of strategic research agendas
Implementation of research agendas In most cases via support to collaborate research (e.g.
Integrated Projects) In limited number of cases via “joint technology initiatives”
based on Article 171
22
Commission proposals: Creating new approaches
Basic research
Stimulating creativity and excellence in basic research
All fields of science
Excellence as sole criterion
Grants to individual research teams
Establish a European Research Council/ Agency
23
Commission proposals:additional aspects
Raising research performance in all regions
Increased complementarity with the Structural Funds
Improved procedures and management

Taking forward the debate: Open Consultation on the Communication
Open from 30 July to 15 October 2004
Overall a good responseOver 1700 responses received. Over 100 responses from Germany, UK, Italy, Belgium,
France , Spain Lower level of response from new Member States
From different types of organisations:Universities, SMEs, government bodies, large
companies, associations, individuals, other organisations.

Taking forward the debate: Open Consultation on the Communication
Very strong support (97%) for strengthening EU support for research
Strong support (over 80%) for the six objectives:Strongest support for human resources and collaborative
research.
