LisbonLisbon Strategy & Europe 2020 StrategyStrategy & Europe 2020 Strategy
S&T contribute to the Lisbon objectives (2000):
• economic growth, jobs & knowledge-based economy
• social challenges: fight poverty, improve human health, boost quality of life
• environmental protection
S&T is a priority of Europe 2020: •Smart growth: knowledge-based economy & innovation•Sustainable growth: more efficient, greener & competitive economy•Inclusive growth: high-employment for social & territorial cohesion
3% of the EU’s GDP should be invested in R&D (!)
European R&D Framework European R&D Framework Programmes (FPs)Programmes (FPs)
=> Largest publicly funded competitive R&D programme worldwide (annual budget €7,2bln)
=> Basic rule of trans-national collaboration=> Thematic programmes in all technology areas=> Special programmes for researcher mobility, research
infrastructure, SMEs, capacity building=> A defined budget for a defined number of years and a
set of priorities for scientific research=> A set of strategies and tools to implement them
FP is the financial instrument for the EU research strategy

organisations within EU/associate and one or more organisations in third countries.
– Short term exchanges (up to 1 year per person)– Partner institutes select their staff for exchange (Researchers,
management, technical staff )
FP7 “People”: IRSES – International Staff Research Exchange Scheme
FP7 “Capacities” programme
• Research infrastructures• Research for the benefit of SMEs• Regions of Knowledge• Research Potential• Science in Society• Coherent development of policies• Activities of International Cooperation
Of particular interest for
“third countries”
FP7 “Capacities” – Research for the benefit of SMEs
Research for SMEs: Low to medium technology SMEs with
little or no research capability Research intensive SMEs that need to
outsource research to complement their core research capability
Research for SME associations: SME associations representing their members
and their common technical problems
bottom-up approach, no thematic focus
FP7 “Capacities” – Science in Society
• Supporting multidisciplinary research addressing science-society interactions as a system;
• Capacity building of civil society organisations and their involvement in research;
• Combining Science in Society expertise with the science policy design and implementation belonging to other specific S&T fields.
• To support investigator-driven frontier research over all areas of research
• By individual teams• Excellence as sole criterion• Autonomous scientific governance• Simple, user-friendly delivery• Team Leader (“Principal Investigator”) assembles his/her
research group; freedom to choose the research topic. Individual teams to consist of researchers without “artificial” administrative constraints; thus members may be drawn from one or several legal entities, from within or across national boundaries, including 3rd countries

• Supply grants to support the creation of excellent new teams
• Annual budget foreseen ~ € 300 million • Estimated ~ 200 Starting Grants per year
• Calls envisaged every year as from 2007
