16. Giorgio Clarotti Medi/FP7 - 6/10 © Gi LUnione Europea nelletà dellEuro June 2010 - 16 Framework Programmes : significant impacts on S&T and the economy uEconomic benefits. –1 (research) at European level 4-7 (long-run, econometric models). –Enterprises participating in FP benefit of: reduced commercial risk increased turnover and profitability enhanced productivity and market share uInnovative performance. Enterprises participating in FP: –tend to be more innovative –more likely to patent –engage in innovative cooperation with other firms and universities uScientific performance: –FP project up to 9 peer reviewed publications (international co- publications) uHuman resources development: –Over 7000 proposals for Marie Curie in 2004, thousands of researchers in top trans-national teams, benefiting from training and knowledge sharing

17. Giorgio Clarotti Medi/FP7 - 6/10 © Gi LUnione Europea nelletà dellEuro June 2010 - 17 Framework Programmes : strong impact on the integration of the ERA u180 000 cooperation links (FP5): academia, industry, public research labs uBetter coordination of national research efforts (ERA-NET etc) uCounter-acting fragmentation of ERA. Average number of MS per project: 3 (FP2) 6.7 (FP6) uConcentration of research efforts through larger projects with critical mass. –Average number of participants per project: 4.7 (FP2) 14 (FP6). –Average EU funding per project: 1.2 M (FP2) 4.6 M (FP6) uTop-level scientists: e.g. 6 Nobel Prize winners involved in FP6 fundamental genomics projects uERA more attractive to researchers worldwide. Number of participating countries from across the world: 30 (FP2) 140 (FP5)

18.

19. Giorgio Clarotti Medi/FP7 - 6/10 © Gi LUnione Europea nelletà dellEuro June 2010 - 19 Why double the FP7 budget (2)? uWiden the scope of the FP –Launch essential new initiatives –Reinforce existing successful actions uHelp to meet new S&T challenges –Rising costs of research mean that higher funding is needed to produce same impacts –New research fields are emerging (hydrogen economy etc) uReinvigorate the Lisbon strategy –Objective: to become the most dynamic knowledge-based economy –Supports the integration and attractiveness of the ERA –Contributes to increased competitiveness –Contributes to sustainable development
