European R&I system has grown incrementally since its start 1948
European R&I system 1948-1973
European R&I system today
The spatial dimension of European research
and € 15 billion per year 2014-2020
Increase Impact - Openness Open Innovation Open Science Open to the World European Innovation Council Fund of Funds Global societal challenges Science Diplomacy Open Access (54% in FP7) Open Data European Cloud Roll-out the 2nd Wave of the Digital Revolution
FP7 FP6 FP1 2020 Horizon Impact – Design European Research Council Joint Technology Initiatives Contractual PPPs Research and Innovation Challenge-driven Large Demonstrators Co-creation Innovation Deals European Research Area Mutual Learning & Peer Reviews Joint Programming One single framework programme
EU 7th Framework Programme Time Input Output Outcome Impact € 55 billion GDP-increase next 25 years 160.000 + 130.000 new Jobs Productivity gains for participants 25.000 projects 170.000 Scientific publications 1.700 Patents 7.400 Commercial exploitations
Reflections for the future 1) EU more visible and closer to citizens (Closer to citizens, Science & Innovation-based EU policy) 2) Market creating (Mobilising private investment into innovation and new capital, attract investments from outside Europe, productivity gains) 3) Impact (Outcome-oriented, visible what we achieve with EU investment, What EU does for citizens, for economy, and advancing knowledge frontier)
European R&I system tomorrow? R&I for new solutions + Social innovation Digital & physical infrastructure Governance, Public Sector Innovation Regulation and innovation Societal challenges
"Missions" Clean (& silent) mobility in EU cities by… Technical target: All vehicles used in EU cities driven by fossil-free fuels (decarbonized) Measurable: Share (%) of fossil-free vehicles in use Science Science City Planning eCommerce Regulations, Experimentation, Innovation Deals Infrastructure: Bicycle roads, Public Transport Vehicle industries Supply Chain Battery and Hydrogen Bioeconomy Infrastructure: Charging places Teleworking City: Public Procurement of Innovation Social Innovation Renewable Energy capacity Energy Efficient vehicles Science Process industry Science
Two (teamed) Types of Missions Accelerators Transformers Scientific Societal Technological Develop a new (radical) technology Solutions "known" Enablers Few actors One buyer and user (ex. military) Global competition First mover advantage Advanced consumers EU competitive advantage Creating specific markets Niche innovations Transform a System Solutions "unknown" Systemic use of all instruments Creative destruction Develop, Deploy, Diffuse Several technologies Many Actors Several buyers (civil) Cross policy/sectors/disciplines Creating broad markets
