Partnership as the driver ofsustainable regional development
2
Context: Lisbon strategy
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.)
3
Context: evolution of EU research policy
Broader range, more ambitious objectives- key element in reformed Lisbon Strategy for growth and jobs
- key to realising an open and competitive European Research Area (ERA)
- key component of Broad-based Innovation Strategy
Wider range of instruments - FP7, CIP, Structural Funds
- Common frameworks for voluntary coordination
- Legislative measures
Stronger links between research and other policies- Knowledge triangle: Research-Innovation-Education
- Research policy contributing to innovation, energy, environment …
- Policies improving research framework conditions (e.g. IPR, fiscal, employment)
Range of new initiatives recently launched- Horizontal (ERA): improve research systems and allocation of resources
- Thematic / multi-thematic: low-carbon energy (SET Plan), EIT, Lead Markets …

Research policy developments
Ljubljana Process
Developing a well-organised partnership between the Member States, Associated States and the Commission to exchange information and steer ERA initiatives in a coherent manner
– A common long-term vision for the future of ERA as the basis for future actions
– Effective governance
ERA Vision 2020- long-term view of the direction for European research
“By 2020, all actors fully benefit from the ‘Fifth Freedom’ across the ERA: free circulation of researchers, knowledge and technology. The ERA provides attractive conditions and effective and efficient governance for doing research and investing in R&D intensive sectors in Europe. It creates strong added value by fostering healthy, Europe-wide scientific competition whilst ensuring the appropriate level of cooperation and coordination. It is responsive to the needs and ambitions of citizens and effectively contributes to the sustainable development and competitiveness of Europe.”

Developing partnerships: ERA initiatives
ERA building-blocks5 initiatives establishing common frameworks for coordinationbetween national research policies, covering:
Enhancing the career prospects and mobility of researchers
Joint programming and pooling of public resources focusing on key societal challenges
The creation and operation of new pan-European research infrastructures (a new legal framework)
Increased knowledge transfer between PROs and industry (with a code of practice for IP management by PROs)
Developing EU and national S&T cooperation with other countries and regions of the world
6
Why research at European level?
Pooling and leveraging resources
– Resources are pooled to achieve critical mass
– Leverage effect on private investments
– Interoperability and complementarity of big science
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
7
FPs: significant impacts on S&T and the economy
Economic benefits
– €1 €4-7
research at EU level 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

Economic crisis
Does not change our view of ERA priorities
Negative impact on R&D spending very likely
Private investment in high-tech SMEs likely to be cut / refocused on short-term priorities
Impact on public R&D budgets still unclear
Counter-cyclical role of public supportfor R&D very important
9
Challenges
BUT:
Investment in research is stagnant(though much diversity at national level)
Private sector investment intensitystill too low R&D funded by private sector (%)
