Seventh EC Research Framework Programme: what is in it for researchers and research organisations in Bosnia and Herzegovina FP 7 Info Day Sarajevo, 23 April 2009 Tania Friederichs DG RTD International Cooperation tania. friederichs@ec. europa. eu

The Framework Programme • Why/How research in Europe • Introduction to FP 7 • Bi. H in FP 7 • Some recommendations 2

Why Research • Part of the Lisbon agenda: necessary for economic development in sustainable way: new products; new services and processing methods; less polluting • Increase prosperity and quality of life: health; security; e-learning • Necessary to comply with technical standards; environmental requirements and targets: energy; measuring water, air quality etc. (pre-accession tool) • Science in society: better governance Research is good for us/you! 3

How • Towards European Research Area: – – – – actions and measures to increase research capacity quantitative and qualitative measures avoid fragmentation create critical mass scientific excellence increase number of scientists ensure mobility of researchers (Euraxess) • Instrument: FP 7 4

Bi. H in ERA • • Observer in CREST Observer delegate in ESFRI Observer in SCAR Member in SGHRM Participate in EU research agenda 5

The Framework Programme FP 7 • The EU programme for research and technological development • Multi-annual programme • Open to applications from European researchers from all sectors, in collaboration with other European and non. European researchers • Established by three key legal texts – the Framework Programme, the Rules for Participation and the Specific Programmes • Separate Programmes for non-nuclear and nuclear research • Delivering the European Research Area 6

FP 7 2007 - 2013 Specific Programmes Cooperation – Collaborative research Ideas – Frontier Research People – Human Potential Capacities – Research Capacity + JRC (non-nuclear) JRC (nuclear) Euratom 7

Budget for FP 7 • EC Programme 50 521 million Euro (current prices) – – – Cooperation 32 413 million Euro Ideas 7 510 million Euro People 4 750 million Euro Capacities 4 097 million Euro JRC EC Programme 1 751 million Euro • Euratom Programme 2 751 million Euro (current prices 2007 -11) – Fusion Energy Research 1 947 million Euro – Nuclear Fission and Radiation Protection 287 million Euro – JRC Nuclear Research Activities 517 million Euro Þ Annual budget: ~ 40% increase compared to FP 6 on average 75% real terms increase between 2007 to 2013 8

Cooperation – Collaborative research 10 Themes 1. 2. 3. 4.

Environment (including climate change) 7. Transport (including aeronautics) 8. Socio-economic sciences and the humanities 9. Space 10. Security 9

Ideas – European Research Council • Frontier research • Support to individual teams, to promote excellence through Europe-wide competition • Dedicated implementation structure (Executive Agency) • Independent scientific governance (Scientific Council) 10

People – Human Potential Initial training of researchers Marie Curie Networks Life-long training and career development Individual Fellowships Co-financing of regional/national/international programmes Industry-academia pathways and partnerships Industry-Academia Scheme International dimension Outgoing International Fellowships; Incoming International Fellowships International Cooperation Scheme; Reintegration grants Specific actions Excellence awards 11

Capacities – Research Capacity 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 12 Research Infrastructures Research for the benefit of SMEs Regions of Knowledge Research Potential Science in Society Coherent Development of Policies Activities of International Cooperation

EURATOM - Framework Programme Objectives • Nuclear fission & radiation protection – developing safer management of long-lived radioactive waste – promoting safer, more resource-efficient and competitive exploitation of nuclear energy – ensuring a robust and socially acceptable system of protection of man and the environment against the effects of ionising radiation. • Fusion energy research – ITER – creation of prototype reactors for power stations which are safe, sustainable, environmentally responsible, and economically viable E&T activities covered in both parts of the programme 13

FP 7 Participants • Member States (27) • Third Countries (= not a Member State; see Article 2 point 8 of Rules of participation) Entire world/where the excellence is! 14

Third countries • Associated countries (12/13) • International Cooperation Partner Countries (ICPC): § § 15 Developing countries (ACP, ASIA, Latin America, Oman) § • Countries neighbouring the EU (WBC*/Kosovo UN 1244, Mediterranean Partner Countries, Eastern European and Central Asian Countries) Emerging economies (e. g. China, India, Brazil, Russia, South Africa) Industrialised countries (USA, Canada, N. Z. , Gulf States, etc. ) * unless associated

Countries associated to FP 7 § § Switzerland § Israel § Turkey § 16 EEA: Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Faroe Islands* WBC: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, FYR of Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia * in the pipeline

Associated Participant FP 7 Advantages • Fully consulted on specific programmes and work programmes • Observer in Programme Committees • Covered by minimum number of participants: 3 MS or AC no longer dependent on W/P • Can participate in more actions: e. g. Intracommunity Marie-Curie; Article 169; more options in JRC, security research; Eurostar for SMEs 17
