PERMANENT REPRESENTATION of GREECE
to the EU, BRUSSELS
Investing in the Europe
of Knowledge and Innovation
European research policy is geared towards the
realisation of the Lisbon objective to transform the
European Union into a competitive and dynamic
knowledge based economy, capable of sustainable
economic growth.
S&T contributes to the Lisbon objectives: economic growth,
employment creation, environmental protection, social
challenges:
fight poverty, improve human health and quality of life
(GSM, remote working, safe roads, etc.)

 Research and innovation as a priority of the
National Reform Programmes for growth and jobs
To be a genuinely competitive, knowledge-based
economy, Europe must become better at producing
Knowledge through Research, at diffusing it through
Education and at applying it through Innovation.
Putting the knowledge triangle of research,
education and innovation to work

Why research at European level?



Pooling and leveraging resources
 Resources are pooled to achieve critical mass
 Leverage effect on private investments
Fostering human capacity and excellence in S&T
 Stimulate training, mobility and career development of
researchers
 Improve S&T capabilities
 Stimulate competition in research
Better integration of European R&D
 Create scientific base for pan-European policy
challenges
 Encourage coordination of national policies
 Effective comparative research at EU-level
 Efficient dissemination of research results
FP7: significant impacts on S&T
and the economy

Economic benefits
€1
(research)
at European level


€4-7
(long-run, econometric models)
Reduced commercial risk
 increased turnover and profitability
 enhanced productivity and market share
Innovative performance
 Enterprises participating in FP:
 tend to be more innovative
 more likely to patent
 engage in innovative co-operation with other firms
and universities
FP7: The New Pathway for the Research &
Technology in the Europe
Towards the development of a knowledge-based economy
and society in Europe which will meet the goals of the Lisbon
strategy in Community policies
Strengthen the European Industrial Competitiveness
Trans-national cooperation at every scale across the EU
should be supported
To meet the Research needs of other Community policies
To enhance the dynamism, creativity and excellence of
European research at the frontier of knowledge
Human potential in research and technology in Europe
should be strengthened, both quantitatively and qualitatively
Better education and research training
The excellence of European research institutions and
Universities should be developed and enhanced.
What’s new?

Main new elements compared to FP6:
• Duration increased from five to seven years

except for Euratom FP
• Annual budget increased significantly
• Basic research (~ €1 billion per year)
• New structure: cooperation, ideas, people,
capacities
• Flexible funding schemes
• Joint Technology Initiatives

Produce research strategies
that contribute
to regional economic
development
Through the development of regional
‘research-driven clusters’
RESEARCH POTENTIAL
Two objectives for EU’s convergence and
outermost (RUP) regions
Unlock and develop
their research capacities
Foster an increase
in their participation to
Community research activities
• To fully realise the European Research Area in the
enlarged Union
Through:
• Transnational two-way secondments and recruitment of staff
• Development of research equipment and the material environment
• Workshops and conferences for knowledge transfer
• ‘Evaluation facilities’

•
•
•
Cooperation with third countries in the Seventh Framework
Programme will be targeted, in particular, at the following
groups of countries:
Candidate countries;
Countries neighbouring the EU, Mediterranean partner

European and Central Asian countries (EECA)[1];
Developing countries, focusing on the particular needs of
each country or region concerned;
Emerging economies.
[1] Formerly called the New Independent States: Armenia,
Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz Republic, Moldova,
Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan.
The theme-oriented international
cooperation actions will be carried out under

Participation is open to international organisations and
legal entities established in third countries after the minimum
conditions laid down in the ‘Rules for participation’ have been
met, as well as any conditions specified in the specific
programmes or relevant work programmes.
Partners from Candidate Countries (scheduled to join the
European Union) and Associated States (countries with
science and technology cooperation agreements with the
EU that include a financial contribution to FP7) can participate
on similar terms to participants from the EU Member States.
Organisations from an international cooperation partner
country (ICPC) , like Russia, can also receive funding.
International cooperation in FP7
The participation of third countries in the
Cooperation SP will be possible via 2 mechanisms:
 The opening of all activities to third countries – both for ICPC* and
industrialised countries in the Themes
 Specific international co-operation actions (SICA) in each thematic
priority dedicated to ICPC
