European research policy objectives

To create a “Single Market" for research
European Research Area: an area of free
movement of knowledge, researchers & technology
http://europa.eu.int/comm/research/era/
• To raise R&D investment &
to use public R&D financing
effectively
Raise R&D
investment to
3% of GDP
by 2010
(2/3 from
industry)
