Key messages
• Key focus of EU policy (Europe 2020 Strategy)
– Competitiveness, Jobs and Growth
• Competitiveness driven by research and innovation
• More emphasis in R+I policy and therefore more funding
• Two major sources of future funding for R+I
– Structural funds
– Horizon 2020
• Plus other related funding opportunities
• Key role for regions – synergies
– Strategy - Smart specialisation and strategic thinking
– Implementation - combining EU/MS/regional funding
– Collaborating outside the region (critical mass/enhanced value
chains/’benchlearning’ – Markku Markkula)
