FP7 at a glance Leonardo Piccinetti EFB

2 Key data on FP7 The current FP7 is short for: Seventh Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development and Demonstration It is: a policy planning tool for research and technological development at EU level that gathers all research-related EU initiatives together under a common roof the main financial instrument to build the European Research Area, and to investment in knowledge, innovation and human capital in order to increase the potential for economic growth and to strengthen European competitiveness. > and it is the 7th main instrument for funding research

3 Evolution of EU Research Framework Programmes
EU Framework programmes have been implemented since 1984 and are the main financial tools through which the EU supports R&D activities covering almost all scientific disciplines. 1957: EURATOM treaty; Joint Research Centre set up 1971: COST programme is 1st attempt to stimulate cooperation 1983: ESPRIT programme 1984: 1st Framework Programme: 1987: "European Single Act" – Research and Development becomes a Community responsibility. 1993: Treaty on European Union; Upgrading the role of RTD in the EU. 2002: 6th Framework Programme ( ) 2007: 7th Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development Before the FP7 Seventh Framework Programme for Research and Technological Developmen, The EU has implemented several other Research programmes. in 1960s, starting with increasing preoccupation with the technology gap between EU and US, the EC(Union) has in fact designed different research programmes aiming to deal with the changing technology challenges (The Treaty of Rome in 1957, that marked the foundation of the EEC did not include the technology policy. Non communitarian research treaties concentrated on coal steel, agriculture and nuclear energy (EURATOM)) The First framework Programme lasted for 5 years, from 1984 – 1987, and had a budget of 3,7 billion ECU.

4 Evolution of EU Research FP
EU Framework programmes have been implemented since 1984 and are the main financial tools through which the EU supports R&D activities covering almost all scientific disciplines. 3,75 5,39 6,6 13,1 14,96 19,5 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 50 50,5 Billion ECU/EUR From the FP1 to the FP7 both the budget and the focus of the programmes has varied and has been adjusted to cope with the current technological challenges. This graph shows how the WEU R&D budget has increased throughout the years: from the 3,7 billion ECU of 1984 to the 17,5 bil EUR of FP6 and the 35bil EUR in FP7

5 The 7th Framework Programme
FP7 covers a period of 7 years: 2007 to 2013 Has two major strategic objectives: Strengthening the scientific and technological base of the European industry, and Encouraging its international competitiveness through research that supports EU policies. Overall budget: Million Euro Implemented via calls for proposals that are described in work programmes updated each year.

6 FP7 Budget Profile per Year
FP7 budget is over 60% higher than FP6 budget Two-thirds will be allocated during the last 4 years ( )

8 Total: M EUR (incl. Joint Research Centre Mio. €)

9 The 4 pillars reflecting the FP7 objectives
Cooperation 1. Health 2. Food, Agriculture, Fisheries, Biotechnology 3. ICT Supports all types of transnational research activities 10 Themes corresponding to major fields of knowledge and technology 4. Nano, Materials and Production Technologies 5. Energy 6. Environment (incl. Climate Change) 7. Transport (incl. Aeronautics) 8. Socio-Economic Sciences & Humanities 9. Space 10. Security

10 FP7 pillar programmes Collaborative research (projects and networks)
I. Cooperation Supports transnational research activities: Collaborative research (projects and networks) Joint Technology Initiatives Co-ordination of national research programmes International Co-operation

11 Collaborative projects and networks
FP7 - COOPERATION I. Collaborative Research activities Achieved through following types of funding schemes: Collaborative projects and networks Joint Technology Initiatives Co-ordination of national research programmes International Co-operation Collaborative projects (former IP and STREP) Networks of Excellence (NoE) Coordination and Support Actions (CSA) : coordinating or networking actions /Support Actions Collaborative Projects (CP) Large-scale integrating projects (IP) Ambitious objective-driven research via “Programme Approach” Addressing multiple issues Generally multi-component and multi-disciplinary 10-20 participants, 3-5 years, 4-25 M€ funding Small or medium scale focused research actions (STREP) Well defined on single focused issue “Project” approach Mainly mono-disciplinary Single component 5-10 participants, 2-3 years, 1-4 M€ funding Networks of Excellence (NoE) Coordination and Support Actions (CSA) Coordinating or networking actions (CA) Support actions (SA) _________________ as a basic rule: COOPERATION between Countries and Organisations (Applications should come from multinational consortia and NOT from individual organisations) a wide range of organisations and individuals (Universities, Research centres, SMEs, PAs, even individuals …) as a general principle from any country in the world but procedures and funding vary for different groups of countries EU member states and countries associated to FP7 (through S&T agreements, EEA agreement and MoU) enjoy the broadest rights and access to funding The International Cooperation Partner Countries (e.g. Russia, Developing countries, Mediterranean and WB) participate under same conditions as EU MS but consortia must have a higher minimum number of participants.

12 Joint Technology Initiatives
FP7 - COOPERATION II. Joint technology Initiatives Collaborative projects and networks Joint Technology Initiatives Co-ordination of national research programmes International Co-operation Gather Industry, research institutions, public authorities Private and public funding (loans EIB) Foreseen in the fields of innovative medicine, nanoelectronics, areonautics and air transport, hydrogen and fuel cells (other topics possible) Based on the Technology Platforms

13 Co-ordination of national research programmes
FP7 - COOPERATION III. Coordination of national research programmes Achieved through: Collaborative projects and networks Joint Technology Initiatives Co-ordination of national research programmes International Co-operation ERA-NET networks Participation of the EU in jointly implemented national research programmes (Article 169)

23 Research infrastructures
IV. Capacities Research infrastructures For optimising use and development of best research infrastructures existing in Europe and help create new ones. Infrastructures are facilities, resources, services, etc. Research for the benfit of SMEs supports the strengthen of INNOVATION capacities of SMEs for devloping new technology based products and markets SMEs are able to outsource research, increase own research efforts, extend networks, better exploit results, etc.

24 Stimulate the debate on S&T related to society and culture
IV. Capacities Regions of knowledge Initiatives for enhancing research potential of REGIONS through trans-national networks or research driven clusters. Research Potential Initiatives for identifying needs, opportunities for reinforcing capacities of existing centres of excellences Science in Society Stimulate the debate on S&T related to society and culture Specific activities of International Co-operation
