partnerships in areas such as key enabling technologies) in the research Framework
Programme."

research and development and innovation framework clarifying which forms of
innovation can be properly supported, including for key enabling technologies"

ENIAC/ARTEMIS Interim EvaluationFindings
overall investment did not increase as much as expected
strategic objectives are insufficiently considered
the innovation ecosystem is only partially covered
harmonisation and MS constraints not yet optimally addressed
lack of synergy with EUREKA
Strategic Recommendation
"All parties should recommit to the European strategic aims of the JTIs” and continue
tri-partite model beyond 2013.
http://ec.europa.eu/dgs/information_society/evaluation/rtd/jti/
What's Next? Commission will report/comment JTI evaluation report before the end of 2010
Together with HLG KET report mid-2011 important input for FP8 talks
But without recommitment at the highest level it will be difficult to ensure
instrument's future beyond 2013 (administrative simplification is not enough!)
Need to act now: Vice-President Kroes ready to consult with industry and MS
to get most out of current JTIs. (R)evolution mid-term?
Can we be more strategic, more focussed? How do we ensure JTI
contribute optimally to next technological wave (450mm etc.)? Scope to
better leverage R&D collaboration into products/manufacturing?
We are interested in your individual and collective views. Think boldly!
Thank you for the attention!Any questions?
