Towards a Towards a European Research European Research AreaArea
In 2000 a new political project was announced by the Commissioner Philippe Busquin: creation of the European Research Area aiming at integrating, strengthening and structuring research efforts all over Europe

since 2000 …since 2000 …
Growth gap with North America and Asia widened Challenges of low population growth and ageing
more visible Expenditure on R&D raised only up to 1.9 % of GDP “European Paradox” in generating splendid scientific
knowledge and insufficient ability to convert this knowledge into innovation and commercial products
Budget of Framework Programmes: the only one which is growing in the EU, but not satisfactory
J.Buzek 7
lagging behind…lagging behind…
European funding, mostly through the Framework Programmes, represents only around 5.36% of total public funding for research in Europe. In other words, about 94% of public funds for research are invested at national level.
Europe is lagging behind the leading economies of the world performance on R&D in both the public and the enterprise sectors. Gross expenditure on R&D is currently at 1.95% of GDP in the EU, compared with 2.7% in the US and 3.1% in Japan.
The gap between the EU and the US in terms of investment in R&D in 2001 has reached € 128 billion a year, 80% of which can be attributed to the difference in private sector spending in research and development.

Europe was a world leader in research. Why not take this position now?

Necessary pre-conditionNecessary pre-condition
The research career in Europe must become
more attractive than in the USA (or elsewhere).
Otherwise:the outflow of European researchers will continuethe inflow of foreign researchers will not increase

Competitiveness of Europe:
We cannot stop in the middle of our way
New Lisbon Strategy is required
Triangle of Knowledge: education, research, innovation

“setting up of an area of research and innovation;
boosting spending on R&D - 3% of GDP; making Europe more attractive for its best
brains; promoting new technologies”
The Wim Kok Report has identified as one
of the top five areas of the development
of a knowledge-based society policy.
The following actions were recommended:
J.Buzek 12
Education high level education (new concept of universities) integrated MSc + PhD, European scientific carrier competing for talents providing best opportunities to generate and
develop new ideas multi/interdisciplinary approach entrepreneurial skills, risk taking, creativity
„Triangle of Knowledge ”: education - research - innovation
J.Buzek 13
Research as the key factor for growth in all Member States
all EU members should reach the level of 3% of GDP expenditure on R&D (no money no results)
political support in all MC stimulation of investments in industrial R&D
the necessary condition: 3% of GDP expenditure on R&Dthe necessary condition: 3% of GDP expenditure on R&D
„Triangle of Knowledge ”: education - research - innovation
J.Buzek 14
Research reinforce the scientific excellence in new, fast
growing research areas biotechnology, medical research,
nanotechnology, information and communication technologies, clean energy…
competing for the finest talents, supporting young researchers
„Triangle of Knowledge”: education – research - innovation
J.Buzek 15
Innovation centers of excellence, Networks of Excellence linking research to technological innovation
industrial R&D centers, technology parks, technology incubators creation of spin-offs
key problem : bringing research closer to industry

The central action in support the development of the knowledge economy
55 billion euro from 2007 to 2013
Structural and Cohesion Funds
Support less advanced regions in EU will have a strong focus on development R&D capacities
345 billion euro for 2007-2013
Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme
New programme aimed at enhancing European innovation capacity, through support to innovating SMEs, innovation networks, the dissemination of results, technology transfer and the funding of technology innovation through risk capital
3.6 bilion euro
Education and Training Programmes
Programmes such as Socrates and Leonardo da Vinci, are aimed at raising the capacity to produce, master and exploit knowledge in Europe through an integrated action on life-long education and training covering in particular university education and training of researchers
approx. 2 billion euro
The Quick-start Programme
The Quick-start programme identifies key areas for investment in network and knowledge. The split between private and public investment will vary depending on the type of projects supported.
total investments €60 billion for 2003 - 2010.

Now, the next step forward should be commenced – development of the European Research and Innovation Area (ERIA), which will orient our efforts towards closer integration of research with innovation, development of technologies with demonstration and commercialization, development of pools/centers of scientific and technological excellence and large infrastructure that can attract and retain high value added business investments.
