1 Research and Innovation Why does ERA Need to Flourish ERA - State of Play Octavi Quintana Trias Brussels, 19th April 2013

2 Research and Innovation Research and Innovation Outline Milestones in 2013 Commission state of play: EMM Survey SHOs Interaction with ERAC and ERA related groups MS Study, ERA Expert Group ERA progress report (format, contacts MS) 2

3 Research and Innovation Research and Innovation What milestones in 2013 ? ERA Progress Report 2013 – September 2013 European Council – October 2013 ERAC / ERA groups opinion – October 2013 Competitiveness Council – December 2013 3

4 Research and Innovation Research and Innovation Commission State of Play SHOs Survey : ongoing analysis of responses (April/June) MS Baseline study : Kick-off 16 April European Semester: country visits/fact finding missions, analysis NRP 2012/2013 (ongoing, NRPs being delivered) ERAWatch Country Mapping– draft May/ final August ERAC and ERA-related groups input (June/July, October) Expert Group to support implementation – Kick off 18 April Other documents already available (e.g. SHE figures, OECD,..) 4

5 Research and Innovation Research and Innovation Objective: on the basis of self-declaration, identify the implementation of ERA actions Research funding organisations Research performing organisations in Member States and Associated Countries were contacted ERA survey

6 Research and Innovation Research and Innovation Preliminary results 3433+ answers, all countries represented Cleaning and checking of profile of all organisations on-going to identify targeted population (public, autonomous organisations which do research) on-going Research Funding Organisations Awareness of ERA in 2/3 of the respondents But only 1/3 of RFOs seem to promote ERA Research Performing Organisations Around 10% of Universities in each country answered the survey 6

7 Research and Innovation Research and Innovation Next steps on the Survey Estimation of the value of the indicators based on the survey: on-going Analysis of results: May-June Dataset to be transferred to Research and Innovation Observatory for next year's survey

8 Research and Innovation Research and Innovation Interaction with ERAC (I) "Commission to prepare, in close interaction with ERAC, a first annual ERA progress report by the end of 2013". Three ways of interaction: Via ERAC plenary (meetings in April, June, October) Via ERAC ad hoc working group European Semester/ERA Monitoring (first meeting 12 June, second 27 June, subject to approval work programme) Via ERAC working with ERA related groups (next agenda item) 8

9 Research and Innovation Research and Innovation Interaction with ERA related groups – possible input Foster implementation of the ERA actions Identify most relevant information Contribute to Progress report Assessment of barriers identified by stakeholders Improving future monitoring Validation of national best practices Make strategic recommendations (e.g. towards achieving ERA in general, new trends) 9

10 Research and Innovation Research and Innovation Interaction with ERAC - plenary General aspects of the EMM/Progress Report (today, June meeting) ERAC could take ownership of the first ERA key priority "Effectiveness of national research systems" / competitive funding – builing on the Mutual Learning Seminar on R&I Policy ERAC could possibly also take into account relevant outcomes of the ad hoc WG on Cross Border Cooperation between RPOs 10

11 Research and Innovation Research and Innovation Expert group to support implementation of the ERA Communication On the basis of collected information, additional assessment, prioritisation and targeted support to MS on specific actions will be needed The Expert Group will support the Commission in: Defining guidelines and best practices on operational steps to achieve the MS´ ERA actions as proposed in the ERA Communication Identifying best practices at national level Advising on how to support MS in implementing the ERA actions

12 Research and Innovation Research and Innovation Member States baseline study Data collection/compilation on current Member States' strategies/initiatives (actions under MS responsibilities in the ERA Communication) Based on available material (desk research, no additional survey/interviews) Advice on the relevance and feasibility of the proposed indicators Identification of data gaps (by end June) Analysis of situation in MS (final draft end of August)

13 Research and Innovation Research and Innovation ERA Progress Report: what content and format? Two documents Policy communication (adopted by College) : political assessment of progress to foster political steering of ERA ERA progress facts & figures : present factual information on state of play by 2011 (detailed in Annex) comparison with actions announced by MS from 2012 on progress will be presented for both the ERA priorities (incl first indications on SHOs state of play and progress) as well as progress at national level 13

14 Research and Innovation Research and Innovation ERA Progress Report: contacts with individual countries Commission will systematically seek validation of the synthesis of the ERA data MS individually approached between end May and mid-June (where appropriate, Associated Countries concerned), via responsible ministries In a limited number of cases, e.g. in the case of lacking data etc., bilateral technical meetings may be scheduled in Brussels and/or the capitals 14
