Lisbon Strategy
to become by 2010 the most dynamic and
competitive knowledge-based economy in the
world capable of sustainable economic
growth with more and better jobs and greater
social cohesion and respect for the
environment

Towards a European Research
Area
In 2000 a new political project was
announced by the Commissioner Philippe
Busquin: creation of the European Research
Area aiming at integrating, strengthening
and structuring research efforts all over
Europe

since 2000 …
 Growth gap with North America and Asia widened
 Challenges of low population growth and ageing
more visible
 Expenditure on R&D raised only up to 1.9 % of GDP
 “European Paradox” in generating splendid scientific
knowledge and insufficient ability to convert this
knowledge into innovation and commercial products
 Budget of Framework Programmes: the only one
which is growing in the EU, but not satisfactory

lagging behind…



European funding, mostly through the Framework Programmes,
represents only around 5.36% of total public funding for
research in Europe. In other words, about 94% of public funds
for research are invested at national level.
Europe is lagging behind the leading economies of the world
performance on R&D in both the public and the enterprise
sectors. Gross expenditure on R&D is currently at 1.95% of
GDP in the EU, compared with 2.7% in the US and 3.1% in
Japan.
The gap between the EU and the US in terms of investment in
R&D in 2001 has reached € 128 billion a year, 80% of which can
be attributed to the difference in private sector spending in
research and development.

Research is a Significant Part of
European Heritage and Identity

Europe was a world leader in research.

Why not take this position now?
J.Buzek
8
Necessary pre-condition
The research career in Europe must become
more attractive than in the USA (or elsewhere).
Otherwise:
the outflow of European researchers will continue
the inflow of foreign researchers will not increase

Competitiveness of Europe:
We cannot stop in the middle of our way
New Lisbon Strategy is required
Triangle of Knowledge:
education, research, innovation
J.Buzek

Renewed Lisbon Strategy
The Wim Kok Report has identified as one
of the top five areas of the development
of a knowledge-based society policy.
The following actions were recommended:




“setting up of an area of research and
innovation;
boosting spending on R&D - 3% of GDP;
making Europe more attractive for its best
brains;
promoting new technologies”
J.Buzek
11
„Triangle of Knowledge ”:
education - research - innovation
Education
 high level education (new concept of
universities)
 integrated MSc + PhD, European scientific
carrier
 competing for talents
 providing best opportunities to generate and
develop new ideas
 multi/interdisciplinary approach
 entrepreneurial skills, risk taking, creativity
J.Buzek
12
„Triangle of Knowledge ”:
education - research - innovation
Research as the key factor for growth in all
Member States
 all EU members should reach the level of 3% of
GDP expenditure on R&D (no money no
results)
 political support in all MC
 stimulation of investments in industrial R&D
the necessary condition: 3% of GDP expenditure on R&D
J.Buzek
13
„Triangle of Knowledge”:
education – research - innovation
Research
 reinforce the scientific excellence in new, fast
growing research areas
 biotechnology, medical research,
nanotechnology, information and
communication technologies, clean
energy…
 competing for the finest talents, supporting
young researchers
J.Buzek
14
„Triangle of Knowledge ”:
education – research - innovation
Innovation
 centers of excellence, Networks of Excellence
 linking research to technological innovation
 industrial R&D centers,
 technology parks,
 technology incubators
 creation of spin-offs
 key problem : bringing research closer to
industry

The Quick-start
Programme
The Quick-start programme identifies key areas for
investment in network and knowledge. The split between
private and public investment will vary depending on the
type of projects supported.

European Research and Innovation Area
Now, the next step forward should be commenced
– development of the European Research and
Innovation Area (ERIA), which will orient our
efforts towards closer integration of research with
innovation, development of technologies with
demonstration and commercialization,
development of pools/centers of scientific and
technological excellence and large infrastructure
that can attract and retain high value added
business investments.
