Why ‘Go Global’?


Why Go Global? Why Collaborate Internationally?

All science has become global

Value chains are internationalised: making alliances, sharing costs, accessing markets, agreeing standards…

Need to address together global societal challenges

Importance for the best EU researchers to cooperate with the best Japanese researchers

Opportunities for Japanese researchers to participate, and to access big projects with important partners from EU and the World by only paying your researchers

Importance of building networks: deep relationships with EU and world actors through R&D collaboration 3


Why Choose the EU to ‘Go Global’?500 million people - 28 countries - a single market*

• 7% of the World's population

• 24% of world expenditure on research

• 32% of high-impact publications

• 32% of patent applications

Candidate and potential candidate countries

*Free movement of people, goods, services and capital

EU-Japan: a Strategic Partnership in Science and

Technology


A Strategic Partnership in S&TEU-Japan Summit November 2013

"Summit leaders underlined the strategic importance of EU-Japan cooperation in science and technology in contributing to growth and competitiveness and in addressing shared societal

challenges".

They welcomed the significant progress achieved together since the entry into force of the EU-Japan S&T Agreement between in

key areas of mutual interest such as critical raw materials, aeronautics and ICT

They called for further efforts to unlock the full potential of Japan-EU S&T cooperation and to promote greater collaboration"

+ Work in preparation for next EU-Japan Summit 7 May in Brussels 7


Some Excellent Successes

109 "bottom up" participations by 50 different Japan-based organisations in 79

FP7 projects

5 "top-down" jointly designed "Coordinated Calls" resulting in an additional 17 projects

(ICT, aeronautics, energy, critical raw materials)

Successful "support actions" e.g. CONCERT-JAPAN

8


‘Top Down’ ‘Coordinated Calls’

‘Top Down’ - joint identification of key priority areas by EU and Japanese authorities

Parallel call procedure, parallel evaluation, separate funding – but joint work and joint results

Worked particularly well with Japan• 5 Calls 2011-2013• 17 Projects jointly financed• 2 more calls launched or in the pipeline

'Bottom up' Participations: Key Areas


Unfulfilled Potential?

Some Key QuestionsWhy is overall Japanese participation in EU research programme so modest compared with key international partners?

What can be done to improve participation of Japanese reseach entities (public and private) in the future?

What are the bottlenecks? The obstacles?

What best approach? Top Down? Bottom Up?

Horizon 2020: New Opportunities for

Japanese sceintists and research organisations


Horizon 2020: 'a Paradigm Shift'The biggest Research- and Innovation-funding programme in the world: over EUR 80 billion budget/ over 7 years

The only area in the EU Budget to increase (+ 30% over previous programme FP7!)

The most open programme in the World!

International cooperation at its core

'Challenge-based’ approach, multisectorial activites to address global societal challenges (similar to Japanese Comprehensive STI strategy)

Stressing Innovation: ‘From Lab to Market’

Faster, simpler, less red tape! 15


Horizon 2020: Three Key Pillars

Excellent Excellent ScienceScience

Industrial Industrial LeadershipLeadership

Societal Societal ChallengesChallenges


• European Research Council Supporting top researchers from anywhere in the world to work in

Europe

• Future and Emerging Technologies Supporting visionary thinking through collaborations between

science and engineering

• Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions Providing opportunities for training and career development of

individual researchers• Research infrastructures- including e-infrastructure Ensuring access to world-class facilities

Societal challenges

• Health, demographic change and wellbeing

• Food security, sustainable agriculture and forestry, marine and maritime and inland water research and the bioeconomy

• Secure, clean and efficient energy

• Smart, green and integrated transport

• Climate action, environment, resource efficiency and raw materials

• Inclusive, innovative and reflective societies

• Secure societies

But Not Only About Money!

Value of EU programmes much more than cash value!

Deep relationships, collaboration – goes on even when the money is gone!

Working with the best brains in EU and internationally

EU-based international companies (Japanese especially) have understood and are getting actively involved

Key role for industry – European Technology Platforms

Horizon 2020: A Central Role for

International Cooperation


HORIZON 2020: Open to the World!

Horizon 2020 is open to

participation of researchers from

anywhere in the world, to:

Extend the frontiers of scientific knowledge

Tackle global challenges that affect all of us

Make industries more competitive

22


Three Ways to Participate1. “General opening”

- Any international partner may participate

2. Targeted opening

- In specific topics in calls for proposals, inclusion of intern'l partners may be:

a) encouraged or

b) required

3. Coordinated calls

- Used for specific actions (e.g. identifiedthrough Joint S&T Committees)

- Paired calls, linked evaluations, two separate contracts 23
