RZ_to_LT-INFOBALT_18Jan Presentation outline The renewed Lisbon Strategy R&D and Innovation policy of the European Union Case of Electronics R&D: key for Europe’s competitiveness Pulling efforts together under FP7 and CIP From European Technology Platforms to Joint Technology Initiatives: ENIAC & ARTEMIS Lithuanian participation in FP6 IST programme

RZ_to_LT-INFOBALT_18Jan By 2010 Europe should “… become the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economy in the world, capable of sustainable economic growth with more and better jobs and greater social cohesion.” - Lisbon Council of Ministers, March 2000 The Lisbon goal

RZ_to_LT-INFOBALT_18Jan Markets & Competition: Europe – A more attractive place to invest & work –The internal market –Improve regulation –Competitive markets –Expand & improve infrastructure Knowledge & innovation for growth –Increase R&D investment –Facilitate innovation & uptake of ICT & the sustainable use of resources –Contribute to a strong industrial base Employment & Skills: Creating more & better jobs –Employment & social protection systems –Flexibility of labour markets –Human capital: Better education & skills The renewed Lisbon strategy

RZ_to_LT-INFOBALT_18Jan R&D EU: Largest knowledge-based economy by 2010 ? Education & Training Innovation How can Europe achieve its Lisbon goals ? 1.By building on its strengths 2.Public & private sectors investing in knowledge 3.By drawing efforts together −Creating synergies across Europe −Avoiding fragmentation & duplication of effort

RZ_to_LT-INFOBALT_18Jan Research policy Raise R&D investment (3% objective) Create a single “market” for research (ERA) and innovation –An area of free movement of knowledge, researchers & technology R&D excellence Improve human capital & skills base Build effective research infrastructures Aligning Framework Programme (FP) & national R&D programmes

RZ_to_LT-INFOBALT_18Jan Is Europe investing enough ? Europe – a net importer of electronics Aggressive global competition: Asia 2/3 of world semiconductor market & 3/4 share in investment A typical semiconductor fabrication facility costs € 2.5 billion Source: European Semiconductor Industry Association, 2005
