Specific Programmes Cooperation – Collaborative research People – Human Potential JRC (nuclear) Ideas – Frontier Research Capacities – Research Capacity JRC (non-nuclear) Euratom +

Cooperation (collaborative research) 9 themes: € 44.7 billion Ideas (frontier research, European Research Council): € 11.9 billion People (human potential, Marie Curie Actions): € 7.2 billion Capacities (research infrastructures, research for benefit of SMEs, INCO, etc.): € 7.5 billion TOTAL (incl. JRC € 1.8 billion) = € 73.2 billion SPECIFIC PROGRAMMES - funding

Main differences/ similarities wrt FP6 Amount: doubling of EC research budget 5-fold increase in Space-related budget Duration: 7 years instead of 4 Thematic areas: 9 instead of 7, but very similar Instruments: same as FP6

9. Security and Space Protection against terrorism and crime Security of infrastructures and utilities Border security Restoring security in case of crisis Security systems integration and interoperability Security systems integration and interoperability Security and society Security Research Coordination and structuring Security Research Coordination and structuring Space-based applications at the service of the European Society Space-based applications at the service of the European Society Exploration of space RTD for strengthening space foundations RTD for strengthening space foundations

9.2 Space Objectives 1.To support a European Space Programme focusing on applications such as GMES, with benefits for citizens and for the competitiveness of the European space industry. 2.This will contribute to the development of a European Space Policy, complementing efforts by Member States and by other key players, including the European Space Agency.

9.2 Space Rationale 1.User driven applications: benefits to public authorities and decision-makers (in fields such as agriculture, environment, fisheries, security, telecommunications, transport). 2.Benefits to European industry: better definition of common objectives based on user requirements and policy objectives. 3.Co-ordination of activities: to avoid duplications, maximise interoperability and define standards.

Activities (1/2) Space-based applications at the service of the European Society  GMES (Global Monitoring for Environment and Security): user driven approach to: development of satellite-based monitoring systems; integration with in-situ monitoring systems; use and delivery of GMES data and services.  Innovative satellite communication services in public application sectors (e.g. civil protection, tele-medicine).  Technologies for reducing the vulnerability of space-based services and for the surveillance of space. 9.2 Space

Activities (2/2) Exploration of space  Contribution to international space exploration initiatives. RTD for strengthening space foundations  Contribution to: Space transportation technology. Space sciences including life in space. 9.2 Space
