Why research at European level?
European Research Area (ERA) Article 179 (1) of the Lisbon Treaty (1 December 2009) The Union shall have the objective of strengthening its scientific and technological bases by achieving a European research area in which researchers, scientific knowledge and technology circulate freely, and encouraging it to become more competitive, including in its industry, while promoting all the research activities deemed necessary by virtue of other Chapters of the Treaties.
4
Why research at European level?

• European Research Area (ERA)
• Concept of ERA can be likened to a research and
  innovation equivalentof the EU internal
  market" for goods, capital, services and people.
• Purpose to increase competitiveness of European
  research institutions by bringing them together
  and encouraging a more inclusive way of work,
  through
• integrating the scientific resources of the
  European Union
• multi-national co-operation in science, research
  and innovation
• increased mobility of knowledge workers and
  deepened multilateral co-operation among research
  institutions among the Member States
• international / worldwide cooperation

5
The role of the European Framework Programmes for
RTD

The EU Framework Programmes (FPs) are the main
instrument designated by the EU / Lisbon Treaty
to support the concept of ERA

• European FPs bring down barriers
• between countries
• multinational consortia
• researchers from any country in the world can
  participate
• coordination among national funding programmes
• between different types of organisations
  universities, research centres, SMEs, large
  companies, etc.
• between disciplines increased focus on
  translational research
• and encourage mobility Marie Curie fellowships
  available for researchers and for host institutes

6
European Framework Programmes for RTD (FPs)
FP financial instrument for EU research strategy

• Largest publicly funded competitive RTD programme
  worldwide (annual budget in FP7 gt 7 billion)
• Basic rule trans-national collaboration
• Thematic programmes in all relevant technology
  areas (health, agri-bio-food .. ? space
  research)
• Special programmes for researchers mobility,
  research infrastructures, SMEs, capacity building
• A fixed budget for a defined number of years

7
FP7 2007 2013 4 Specific Programmes plus JRC,

• Cooperation 32.3 billion
• Trans-national cooperation in 10 research themes
  through multi-national consortia.
• Ideas 7.5 billion
• Funding for top researchers from anywhere in the
  Worldinvestigator-driven frontier research,
