Since 2011 supporting Member States & Regions to
design and implement their S3 by identifying a
limited number of R&D and industrial activities with
high innovation potential.

Stairway to Excellence (S2E) Initiative
Pilot Project funded by the European Parliament
Objectives:
 Assistance to Member States and Regions to enhance the
value of these two EU funding sources for R&I by promoting
their combination (2015/2016: focus on EU13).
 Stimulating the effective implementation of RIS3.
Stakeholders Involvement:
 COM services (JRC, REGIO, RTD, ENER, CNECT, GROW)
 Other European Institutions (EP, CoR, EIT)
 Stakeholders' Representatives (EARTO, EBN, ERRIN, KICs)
 Regions and Member States (S3P network, S2E events)
 FP / H2020 (NCP, regional networks, innovation agencies)
Stairway to Excellence (S2E) Initiative
Economic Background
 Composition of GBAORD at the European Level
 New ESIF Thematic Concentration towards knowledge investments
Economic Rationale
 Efficiency-related leverage effect of EC R&I funding by matching
programmes with:
 (apparently) different objectives
 different management of the programmes (shared vs central
management & ex-ante vs competitive-based allocation).
 different support to innovation life cycle (innovation capacity
building & innovation absorption capacity).
Legal Novelties
 Synergies under the new MFF 2014-2020 (COM Guide on Synergies,
spring 2014)

An Estonian Story
• ERA Chairs: Currently Estonia holds 3 ERA Chairs from
H2020 and 1 from FP7. Support from Mobilitas Pluss up to 200
000 € per project
• European Research Council grants. Support for reapplication for researchers who achieve high results in ERC
evaluation, but who do not receive a positive financing
decision (in the amount of national personal grant up to 100
000 € per year, for up to 1,5 years). Trainings and study visits
for researchers (to prepare for a successful application)
• ERA Net Support. Support for participation in the ERA-NET
calls, which are not financed by the European Commission.
Support from Mobilitas Pluss is up to 150 000 € per project
• EIT KICs. Support from Mobilitas Pluss is up to 60 000 € per
19
project
A German Story
• Every third student who begins a course at a university in
eastern German originally comes from the west of the
country. And for every two Germans who move from the east
to study in the west, three go in the other direction.
• 10 years ago only one in six students in the east came from
the west, federal statistics show.
• A major factor in this change is a marketing campaign that
comes to an end this year: Study in the Far East.
• The campaign, which began in 2008, is supported by the
federal education ministry and coordinated by Saxony-Anhalt’s
ministry of sciences and economic affairs.
• “Science has contributed a great deal to German reunification.
Students and scientists know no borders any more.”
