JvdB/0703110 Knowledge triangle Key for global competitiveness Core of EIT concept Corners are addressed by multiple programmes –EU: FP, CIP, SF,... –National and regional programmes Corners have different spatial characteristics –Innovation:regional, with national and international aspects –Education: national, with regional and international aspects –Research: international, with regional and national aspects Innovation EducationResearch Essential requirements for FP, CIP and SF beyond 2013 Efficient allocation of management responsibilities Mutual coherence, also with national and regional programmes

11. JvdB/0703111 Europe in 2030 ? Competitiveness-oriented scenario More R&D and innovation More economic growth Cohesion-oriented scenario Better territorial balance Better environmental sustainability Combine best of both in cohesion policy beyond 2013 1.Reinforce innovation clusters to develop leading-edge technologies 2.Stimulate R&D and innovation also through demand-side actions - Innovative public procurement; governments as launching customers; lead markets; aggregation of demand; internal market integration 3.Apply technologies throughout EU to address societal challenges, mitigate negative agglomeration effects, ensure service availability

12. JvdB/0703112 Recommendations for R&D&I in future cohesion policy 1.Ensure policy coherence with other EU, national, regional programmes –Within knowledge triangle, with corners having different spatial characteristics 2.Stimulate R&D&I through supply-side and demand-side actions –For European competitiveness and cohesion 3.Promote common European goals rather than “closed” regional interests –Via open programmes, cross-border/transnational/interregional collaboration 4.Avoid segregation of SMEs, large firms and research organisations –As complementary actors in Open Innovation 5.Provide SMEs with innovation vouchers –For knowledge, advice or services from public or private R&D labs 6.Involve business sector in strategic planning –In Triple Helix approach 7.Make European Research Area multi-level Open Innovation ecosystem –With EU institutional and legal complexity as particular challenge
