European Framework Programmes for RTD (FPs)

● Largest publicly funded competitive RTD programme worldwide (annual budget in FP7 > € 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

FP = financial instrument for EU research strategy

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 World:investigator-driven “frontier research”, supported by an autonomous European Research Council (ERC)

People 4.7 billion €Training, mobility, career development of researchers, (“Marie Curie” actions) - incl. International grants

Capacities 4.2 billion €Research infrastructures; research specifically for SMEs; regional research driven clusters

FP7 2007 –2013 4 Specific Programmes plus JRC, nuclear and non-nuclear research (2.5 bn €)

Thematic Priorities:

1. Health2. Food, agriculture & biotechnology3. Information & communication technologies4. Nanotechnologies & materials5. Energy6. Environment7. Transport8. Socio-economic sciences9. Security & 10. Space

FP7 “Cooperation”

Information Communication Technologies (ICT)

Two calls on ICT (deadlines: 15 January 2013, 16 April 2013)Three cross-thematic calls: “Factories of the Future”, “Smart Cities and Communities” and “ICT for Green Cars”Previously announced calls:

Future and emerging technologies (FET) (deadline: 12-03-2013)Research priorities:

•Pervasive and trusted network and service infrastructures•Cognitive systems and robotics•Alternative paths to components and systems•Technologies for digital content and languages•ICT for health, ageing well, inclusion and governance•ICT for a low carbon economy•ICT for the enterprise and manufacturing•ICT for learning and access to cultural resources

Russia in the 7th EU Framework Programmes for RTD (2007-2013)

By June 2012 :

• Overall, Russia is the most active international partner country

• 440 Russian participants in 271 projects, receiving ~ €57.6 million EU funding

• Highest participation in Transport, Space, ICT, Agri-Biotech-Food and Nanotechnologies / materials research

The Multiannual Financial Framework 2014-2020: Commission’s proposals of 29 June 2011

1. Smart & inclusive growth (€491bn)

2. Sustainable growth, natural resources (€383bn)3. Security and citizenship (€18.5bn)4. Global Europe (€70bn)5. Administration (€62.6bn)

Total:€ 1,025bn

Education, Youth, Sport

Connecting Europe

Cohesion Competitive Business SMEs

Horizon 2020

Key challenge: stabilise the financial and economic system while taking measures to create economic opportunities

What is Horizon 2020

• Commission proposal for a € 80 billion research and innovation funding programme (2014-20)

• A core part of Europe 2020 Strategy, Innovation Union & European Research Area:– Responding to the economic crisis to invest in future jobs

and growth – Addressing peoples’ concerns about their livelihoods,

safety and environment.– Strengthening the EU’s global position in research,

innovation and technology

ICT funding in Horizon 2020EU investments increase by 46% compared to FP7. Support for riskier ICT research and innovation that can deliver

new business breakthroughs.In particular, Horizon 2020 will support the development of:• A new generation of components and systems including Micro / nano-

electronics and photonics technologies, components and embedded systems engineering.

• Next generation computing, Advanced computing systems and technologies.

• Infrastructures, technologies and services for the future Internet,• Content technologies and information management, including ICT for

digital content and creativity.• Advanced interfaces and robots and Robotics and smart spaces.

International cooperation

• International cooperation is crucial to address many Horizon 2020 objectives.

• Principle of general openness: the programme will remain to be the most open funding programme in the world.

• Targeted actions to be implemented taking a strategic approach to international cooperation.

Next steps

Ongoing: Parliament and Council negotiations on the basis of the Commission proposals

Ongoing: Parliament and Council negotiations on EU budget 2014-20 (including overall budget for Horizon 2020)
