The Competitive Race to Knowledge
Where is Europe ?
• Public R&D investment in the EU: 120 B€/yr
• just 50% of the US effort
• the gap is widening since 1995
• Example R&D ICT investment: US invest 3 x more !
• 52% of RTD effort in ICTs in OECD countries is in the US
• only 17% in Europe (22% in Japan)

Europe Needs More & Better R&D
• More human resources for S&T
• More excellent centres of public research
• with improved links to business
• Better & more efficient IPR protection
• Better access to finance in all stages of R&D
& innovation
• e.g. technology start-ups
• Market for R&D support measures
• subsidies & fiscal incentives for private RTD
• loans & grants via e.g. EIB
Commission Communication: COM (2002)499 final
„More research for Europe“

FP6 is Not Business as Usual!
• A policy tool and catalyst
• not just a funding machine
• More “initiative”-thinking
• New instruments, focused strategic objectives
• Strong focus on International Co-operation
• 315 M€ for specific activities: Developing Countries,
Mediterranean & Western Balkans, Russia & NIS
• 285 M€ for INCO in Priority Areas 1-8
• additional funding under Human Resources & Mobility
• Clear support for SMEs
• 430 M€ for SME-oriented research
• > 15% of R&D activities in Priority Areas 1-7 by SMEs
• Support to ‘mobility of researchers’ doubled
• Overhaul of R&D management

FP6 Rationale
New Instruments
To address fragmentation of RTD in Europe
• by bringing together cutting-edge scientific
expertise at EU level
• by creating lasting scientific collaboration
structures
• by building consensus on procedures & standards

NoE
To generate new knowledge rapidly & efficiently
• targeted results
• to have impact on EU competitiveness & quality of life
To promote co-operation & co-ordination of RTD
programmes (ERA)
• at European, national & regional level
• to avoid overlap & achieve critical mass

Integrated Projects (1)
• Generate the knowledge required to implement the
priority thematic areas of FP6
• achieve ambitious, clearly defined S&T objectives
• integrating a critical mass of activities &
resources
• in a coherent management framework
• effective management of knowledge an essential
feature
• Several Mio € to several 10x Mio €
• 3 - 5+ years

Networks of Excellence (1)
• Designed to strengthen Europe’s excellence on a
particular research topic...
• by integrating a critical mass of expertise
• around a joint programme of activity
• to achieve ambitious goals
• ... tackling the fragmentation of European research
• to provide European leadership and be a world force
• the main deliverable is a durable structuring of how
research is carried out in Europe
• NoEs should spread excellence beyond their
partners
KG in Athens 19-12-2002 - 11
Networks of Excellence (2)
• Duration: typically 5 years
• more if necessary BUT no more than 7 years
• Allocation of the grant
• freedom to distribute it between partners and activities
• Changes in partnership
• the partners may themselves decide to take in new
partners (without additional funding)
• the Commission may decide to launch calls to add partners
(with additional funding)
• Types of activities:
• integrating research and training, exchanges of personnel,
joint infrastructures, dissemination, support to SMEs, …
