ETP: What are they?

• • ETP have to contribute significantly to the renewed Lisbon strategy development of a European Research Area and to the of knowledge for growth, and in particular to orient the industry. Seventh Research Framework Programme to better meet the needs of • Bring together the main stakeholders led by industry in an RTD field with a large market potential, and considered as strategically important for achieving Europe's future growth, competitiveness and sustainability.

Identify common RTD goals of industrial relevance by covering the whole economic value chain and develop a Strategic Research Agenda (SRA) to achieve these goals. • SRA addresses: – the technological RTD challenges which are essential for Europe's future competitiveness; – and the barriers to the timely development and deployment of new technologies and the new technology-based public goods and services.

• Stakeholders include industry, academia and the investors in research, public or private, as well as public authorities at national and regional levels. www.aetic.es
