How important are these amounts?
•
EU-funded research in ICT: 1.1 billion (2009)
– about 25% of ICT GBAORD (4.5 billion)or– nearly 50% of ICT GOVERD (2.2 billion)
•
In reality it is an even higher proportion after deduction of institutional funding

Lessons learned: Interim evaluation of FP7-ICT
•
Specific evaluation of the ICT theme (contributing to overall FP7 interim evaluation)
•
Carried out between 2009-2010
•
Panel of 7 experts – industry, academia, evaluation expertise
•
Report “Catalysing European competitiveness in a globalising world” (“Bravo report”) published in
June 2010– 11 recommendations
IPTS conference – 20 Oct 2011
Benefits from current EU research and innovation funding
•
Enable cross‐border pooling
of resources to achieve critical mass
and diffusion of knowledge
•
Promote competition
in research and innovation, thereby raising levels of excellence
•
Provides a way to deal with pan‐European policy challenges and link to EU market frameworks
•
Raises the international attractiveness
of EU research and innovation
•
Act as a catalyser
and for development of common solutions
•
Financial instruments with high leverage
and high efficiency
IPTS conference – 20 Oct 2011
but also concerns …
•
Complexity
‐
too many instruments
and funding mechanisms, complex landscape
•
Further simplification‐
less variation in rules, simpler audits and controls, avoid duplicate information
•
Better strategy for innovation
–
involve users, how to commercialise results, generate impacts
•
Need to focus resources
– with critical mass to address the grand challenges
•
Broaden participation
–
industry, SMEs, new Member States, women, new innovation actors
•
Clearer agendas
‐
driven by scientific, industrial, social objectives
IPTS conference – 20 Oct 2011
EU research and innovation in ICT: ISTAG recommendations beyond 2013
1) Allow the participation of non‐conventional actors
2) Leverage Social Innovation
and create a 'Balanced Progress' framework
3) Focus on Europe’s strategic strength to manage complex systems and
environments
4) Ensure the dependability
of ICTs
5) Unleash the potential of the full value chain in ICT R&D & Innovation
by bridging the gap between pre-competitive R&D and products
6) Support new forms of
IPR
creation and protection
and different innovation property strategies
7) Create open fast‐track schemes
for innovation detection, amplification, and acceleration
8) Continue and strengthen the Future and Emerging Technologies
(FET) scheme with new initiatives
9) Develop common EU‐wide services and platforms
in cross-border, co-funded initiatives
10) Embrace ambiguity and unpredictability
and manage risks
IPTS conference – 20 Oct 2011
Europe 2020 strategy
•
Objectives of smart, sustainable and inclusive growth
•
Headline targets, including 3% of GDP
invested
in R&D •
Includes the
Innovation Union Flagship initiative
–
A strategic and integrated approach to research and innovation
–
Putting in place the key conditions to make Europe attractive for
research and innovation–
Focus on major challenges and aiming at competitiveness and
jobs
•
Endorsed by February European Council (Heads of State) as key to future growth and jobs
IPTS conference – 20 Oct 2011
Horizon 2020: scope
Covering current funding for:•
The 7th
Framework Programme
(FP7) for research, technological development and demonstration
–
€53 billion (2007‐13). 4 main programmes on Ideas, Cooperation, People
and Capacities.
•
The Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (CIP)–
€3.6 billion (2007‐13). 3 programmes on enterprise & innovation,
intelligent energy, and ICT policy support.
•
The European Institute for Innovation and Technology (EIT)–
Autonomous EU body bringing together higher education, research and
business to stimulate innovation in Knowledge and Innovation
Communities. EU budget contribution of €309 million (2007‐13)
•
And strengthening complementarities
with the Structural Funds–
€86 billion allocated (2007‐13) to R&D and innovation, enterpreneurship,
ICT and human capital development
IPTS conference – 20 Oct 2011
Why a Common Strategic Framework for research and innovation?
For increasing IMPACT
•
FROM different priorities in each programme and initiative
TO common strategic priorities, focusing on societal challenges, competitiveness and research excellence
•
FROM gaps between the stages (R&D, demonstration, piloting, market
uptake …)
TO coherent support for projects and organisationsacross the innovation cycle
•
FROM research results that are not used and focus on technologiesTO stronger support for innovation, including non‐technological innovation and market take up
IPTS conference – 20 Oct 2011
Horizon 2020: Simplification
•
Single set of rules
for eligibility, accounting, reporting, auditing
•
Simplified
cost‐reimbursement
approach
•
Broader
acceptance
of usual
accounting
practice, greater
use of lump sums
and flat rates
•
Shorter
negotiation
and selection
phases
•
Unique IT portal, common
support structures, guidance
•
External
management: learning
from
experience
with
executive agencies, public private
partnerships, public to public partnerships,
financial
instruments
