Для тих, кому цікаво

Спочатку - про часові горизонти. Зараз і FP, і Specific Programs перебувають в стадії затвердження, себто мова ведеться все ще лише про European Commission proposal. Найскоріше їхнє фінальне затвердження очікується в кінці вересня. Перші сalls найшвидше можуть бути аж наприкінці грудня 2006.


Main new elements compared to FP6:

Duration increased from five to seven years
Annual budget substentially increased (€5 billion to €7.7 billion)
Basic research (~ €1. billion per year)
New structure (Specific Programs): Cooperation, Ideas, People, Capacities
Flexible funding schemes
Joint Technology Initiatives
Simpler procedures
Logistical and administrative tasks - to external structures


FP7 2007 –2013 | Specific Programmes

Cooperation – Collaborative research
Ideas – Frontier Research
People – Marie Curie Actions
Capacities – Research Capacity
+
Joint Research Centre (non-nuclear)
Joint Research Centre (nuclear)
Euroatom


Budget (in current prices):

Cooperation – 32.2 € billion
Ideas – 7.5 € billion
People – 4.6 € billion
Capacities – 4.2 € billion

Зростання бюджету в порівняння до FP6 (середнє річне):

Cooperation – 30%
Ideas – нове
People – 50%
Capacities – 60%


SP Ideas – Frontier Research передбачає створення нової структури, яка відповідатиме за фінансування фундаментальної науки. Правила для цієї SP будуть дещо відмінні – наприклад, передбачають „персональні гранти” на відміну від Cooperation, де буде встановлено мінімум учасників (в подібних „стандартних” FP6 STRP таким мінімумом було 3 учасники з країн ЄУ)

Дуже цікаве джерело як інформації щодо майбутніх напрямків досліджень, так і, до певної міри, вступ для Working Programs та конкретних Calls є Technology Platforms

 Industry-Driven, Competitiveness-Focused
 European Technology Platforms – Concept:

Stakeholders, led by industry, get together to define a Strategic Research Agenda on a number of strategically important issues with high societal relevance where achieving Europe’s future growth, competitiveness and sustainable objectives is dependent upon major research and technological advances in the medium to long term.

 Bottom-Up Approach with Industry in Lead
 Wide Stakeholder Involvement
 Flexibility: No ‘One Size Fits All’
 EU Role: Facilitating and Guiding but not Leading or Owning
 Majority of Strategic Research Agendas, where Appropriate, Taken into Account in Thematic Priorities of FP7
 Minority of Strategic Research Agendas Identified through Dialogue with Industry as Potential ‘Joint Technology Initiatives’

„Наступним ступнем” розвитку певних TP став їх статус т.зв. Joint Technology Initiatives, які вже будуть ко-фінансовані ЄУ поза рамками competitive calls як „спеціальні мега-проекти”. Поки-що їх є 6.
Identification criteria include:
 Added value of European-level intervention
 Degree and clarity of definition of objective
 Strength of commitment from industry
 Scale of impact on industrial competitiveness and growth
 Importance of contribution to broader policy objectives
 Capacity to attract additional national support
and leverage industry funding


 Inability of existing instruments to achieve objective
 Firmly Anchored in Themes of the Cooperation Programme
 In Fields of Major European Public Interest
 Six Fields Envisaged at this Stage
• Innovative medicines
• Nanoelectronics
• Embedded systems
• Aeronautics and air traffic management
• Hydrogen and fuel cells
• Global monitoring for environment and security
 Other Fields Possible Subsequently
