Why research at European level? Pooling and leveraging resources Resources are pooled to achieve critical mass Leverage effect on private investments Interoperability and complementarity of big science Fostering human capacity and excellence in S&T Stimulate training and international mobility of researchers Improve S&T capabilities Stimulate competition in research Better integration of European R&D Create scientific base for pan-european policy challenges Encourage coordination of national policies Effective comparative research at EU-level Efficient dissemination of research results Jean-David MALO Piacenza (Italy), 27 October 2005 - NOT LEGALLY BINDING Page 5
Why double the FP7 budget? Tackle under-investment by exerting leverage on national and private investment Tackle fragmentation of research effort in the EU and enhance its efficiency and effectiveness Strengthen and broaden the scope of the FP Help to meet new S&T challenges Reinvigorate the Lisbon strategy Jean-David MALO Piacenza (Italy), 27 October 2005 - NOT LEGALLY BINDING Page 6

8. 8. Socio-Economic Sciences and the Humanities Extract : The research priorities address key societal, economic and cultural challenges facing Europe and the world now and in the future. The proposed research agenda constitutes a coherent approach to addressing these challenges. The development of a socio-economic and humanities knowledge base on these key challenges will make a significant contribution to promoting shared understanding across Europe and to the resolution of wider international problems. The research priorities will help improve the formulation, implementation, impact and assessment of policy in virtually all Community policy areas at the European, national, regional and local levels, and a substantial international perspective is included in most of the research Jean-David MALO Piacenza (Italy), 27 October 2005 - NOT LEGALLY BINDING Page 10

3. 3. Regions of of Knowledge Development of of regional research-driven clusters Two objectives for European regions: Strengthen their their capacity for for investing in in RTD RTD and and carrying out out research activities Maximising their their potential for for a successful involvement of of their their operators in in European research projects Jean-David MALO Piacenza (Italy), 27 October 2005 - NOT LEGALLY BINDING Page 17
3. 3. Regions of of Knowledge Extract : Projects would normally involve regional authorities, regional development agencies, universities, research centres, and industry as well as where appropriate technology transfer, financial or civil society organisations. Regions of Knowledge projects will cover the following activities: Analysis, development and implementation of research agendas of regional clusters and cooperation between them. These will include analysis as well as an implementation plan focusing on R&D capacity and priorities. Projects shall use foresight, benchmarking or other methods, demonstrating expected benefits, such as strengthened links between clusters involved, optimised involvement in European research projects and higher impacts on regional development. Mentoring of regions with a less developed research profile by highly developed ones based on R&D focused cluster building. Transnational regional consortia will mobilise and associate research actors in academia, industry and government to deliver guidance solutions with and for technologically less developed regions. Initiatives to improve integration of research actors and institutions in regional economies, through their interactions at cluster level. These will include transnational activities to improve links between research stakeholders and the local business communities as well as relevant activities between clusters. Support will also be provided to activities to promote systematic mutual information exchange as well as interactions between similar projects and where appropriate, with actions of other relevant Community programmes (e.g. analysis and synthesis workshops, roundtables, publications).
