Towards a European research policy,Towards a European research policy, an ‘internal market’ for science & technology R&Dan ‘internal market’ for science & technology R&D Community funding to help aggregate RTD effortCommunity funding to help aggregate RTD effort EU, Member State & private funded effort(s)EU, Member State & private funded effort(s) ‘open coordination’:‘open coordination’: European initiatives + FP + National / regional activitiesEuropean initiatives + FP + National / regional activities Basic principles Basic principles Focus and integration, fewer priorities, ‘critical mass’, improve impactFocus and integration, fewer priorities, ‘critical mass’, improve impact Lasting, structuring impactLasting, structuring impact to avoid ‘end of project, end of consortium’to avoid ‘end of project, end of consortium’ Multiple projects  coherent programmesMultiple projects  coherent programmes Problem-solving  confronting challenges & exploiting opportunitiesProblem-solving  confronting challenges & exploiting opportunities

4. Develop Europe-wide approaches Develop Europe-wide approaches –making sure that Community funding helps aggregate EU, Member State & private funded effort(s) –it is not just supporting a particular RTD work… New instruments New instruments –“Integrated Projects” & “Networks of Excellence” –More “strategic” thinking Different way of describing content and calls Different way of describing content and calls –a lighter workprogramme, different sequencing of calls,... FP6 is not business as usual! ERA - implies a new way of “thinking”
