Peter Härtwich Directorate Coordination of Community Actions DG Research, European Commission The Commission proposal for the 7th Framework Programme COM(2005)118, 119 ;

2 Lisbon agenda – the quintessence  Solve the equation between economic growth, competitiveness and employment on the one hand, and social and environmental sustainability on the other  The eminent role of knowledge:  We cannot compete on the basis of exploitation of natural resources  We cannot and do not want to compete at the expense of our environment  We do not want to compete on the basis of cheap labour

3 Justification of the proposal  Comparison of research and technology indicators Europe-US-Japan  Effects of R&D on economic performance  Impacts of past Framework Programmes  Justification for the necessity of reinforced action at European level Working document on FP7 Extended Impact Assessment

4 FP7: Evolution not revolution Continued from FP6:  Collaborative research as main pillar  Marie Curie actions (further reinforced)  SME-specific actions  Basic funding schemes, procedures and rules

5 FP7: What will be new?  7 years duration  Doubling of budget (5bln/a → 10 bln/a) ?  Frontier research (European Research Council, 1.5 bln €? per year)  Joint Technology Initiatives  Funding for new infrastructures  Simplification  Externalisation of management

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