Europe 2020 (March 2010) smart, sustainable, inclusive growth 7 flagship initiatives: innovation (Innovation Union), education, digital society, climate-
energy-mobility, competitiveness, employment-skills, fighting poverty
Innovation Union Flagship strategy (Oct. 2010) A strategic and integrated approach to research and innovation Focus on major challenges and aiming at competitiveness and jobs
Current trends for EU-China S&T: China participation in FP7 (2007-2013) framed by S&T Agreement, 1998 More strategic cooperation: Mutual benefit/win-win/reciprocity Equal partnership: Co-funding, Programme-level cooperation, Twinning Task-forces (e.g. Food, ICT and Nuclear) to prepare common research priorities
Implementation: FP7 (=>Horizon 2020)

FP7 is short for Seventh Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development
It is the European Union’s main instrument for funding research in Europe between 2007 and 2013, designed firstly to respond to Europe's needs in terms of employment, competitiveness and quality of life
FP7 supports research in selected priority areas
It represents a 41% budget increase from FP6 at 2004 prices

The main “recurrent” European instruments for funding research in Europe for EU interest 1952: ECSC treaty; first projects started March 1955 1957: Euratom treaty; Joint Research Centre set up 1983: ESPRIT programme (ICT) 1984: First Research Framework Programme (1984-1987) 1987: Second Research Framework Programme (1987-1991) 1990: Third Research Framework Programme (1990-1994) 1994: Fourth Research Framework Programme (1994-1998) 1998: Fifth Research Framework Programme (1998-2002) 2002: Sixth Research Framework Programme (2002-2006) 2007: Seventh Research Framework Programme (2007-2013) 2014: Horizon 2020 (2014-2020)

Competition is tough: only the best proposals get funded –about 15-25% of proposals get funded, variation in areas
Proposals must be within the scope of the Call for Proposals
The Consortium of partners must be excellent in their field and appropriate to the task to be performed – select the right partners
The proposal must address all the evaluation criteria – scientific and technological quality, implementation, impact
Respect the basic rules – deadlines, number of participants, ceilings, length, ethics, …
