FP (2002-2006)
A NEW FRAMEWORK PROGRAMME FOR
THE EUROPEAN RESEARCH AREA
Main principles
•concentration on selected priority areas
•structuring effect on research activities
•simplified and streamlined implementation

European Commission
Concentration
• European added value criteria
– assemble critical mass of resources
– combine complementary areas of expertise
– link with EU priorities and interests
– transnational nature of research
• Focus on selected priorities
– seven thematic areas
– limited number of research priorities
• Three major implementation instruments
– networks of excellence
– integrated projects
– participation in national programmes (article 169)

Structuring effect
•
•
•
•
Instruments to favour complementarity & integration
Longer term activities
Link with national and other European activities
Address the research environment
(research and innovation, science and society)
• Promote capacity building
(human resources and mobility, infrastructures)
• Full integration of candidate and 3rd countries

Research
European Commission
Simplified implementation
• Management autonomy for the participants
(ex. through networks of excellence and integrated
projects)
• Decentralisation of certain activities
(SME activities and mobility measures)
• Outsourcing of management functions
• Delegating management responsibilities

Features of the FP6 proposal
• Structure radically simplified
– 1 thematic element :
Integrating European research”
– 2 horizontal elements: Structuring the ERA
Strengthening ERA foundations
• Content more strategically focused
– small number of priority themes
– flexible element for policy support/emerging research areas
– more emphasis on mobility and infrastructures
• New instruments with a stronger structuring effect
– networks of excellence
– integrated projects
– participation in national programmes

European Commission
Instruments to integrate research
– priority thematic areas
• networks of excellence
• integrated projects
• participation in national programmes (art. 169)
– anticipating s/t needs
• specific targeted projects
• networking of research activities
• networks of exc., integrated pr. (exceptionally)
• SMEs support (collective + co-operative research)
• specific international cooperation activities (in particular :
Mediterranean, Russia + CIS, developing countries)
• JRC activities

Instruments to structure the ERA
research and innovation
•
•
•
•
•
networking of stakeholders
analyses, studies, exchanges of good practices
trans-regional cooperation, technology businesses, regional strategies
experiment new tools, new approaches
information & assistance services (CORDIS, tech. transfer, IPR, risk
capital)
• economic and technological intelligence
• innovation activities linked to FP projects
human resources and mobility
• support for organisations hosting researchers (from Europe or third
countries)
• support for European researchers (moving to another European or third
country) and for third country researchers (coming to Europe)
• return and re-integration mechanisms
• support for national or regional mobility programmes
• support for European excellent research teams
• scientific prizes for excellence (following EU mobility funding)

European Commission
Research
Instruments to structure the ERA (cont.)
– research infrastructures
• support for transnational access to infrastructures
• support for integrated activities (access, cooperation
networks, joint projects)
• raising the level of performance
• feasibility studies for new infrastructures
• development of new infrastructure (limited support)
– science and society
•
•
•
•
•

networking of institutions and activities
exchange of experience and good practices
specific research activities
awareness-raising initiatives (ex. prizes, competitions)
data and information bases, studies
European Commission
Research
Instruments to strengthen ERA foundations
coordination of research activities
• mutual opening-up of national programmes
• networking of national research activities
• support for s/t activities carried out in other European frameworks
(in particular : COST, ESF)
• collaboration with other European organisations (such as CERN,
EMBL, ESO, ESA)
development of research and innovation policies
•
•
•
•
•
7/18/2015 - 12
analyses and studies, foresight activities, statistics and indicators
working groups and forums for concertation and policy debate
benchmarking of research and innovation policies
mapping of s/t excellence
regulatory and administrative environment

Implementation modalities for section 1.2
“Anticipation of RTD needs of the EU policies”
• no predetermined scientific content
• no budget allocation according to topic, policy, etc.
• process repeated annually
– call(s) for expression of interest
– contribution of Policy DGs
– consultation of a scientific/industrial advisory body
– assessment by an internal group of users (policy DGs)
– Commission choice of topics based on the above steps
– call for proposals (targeted projects of limited scale)
– evaluation on a peer review basis
– Commission selection of most policy-relevant proposals
among those of sufficient scientific and technical quality
