1. Embedding Foresight in the Joint Programming in Research

2. JPI priorities: science vs politics
Top-down process / Feeding existing clientele /
Risk averse / Priority setting by diplomacy /
Time pressure / Juste retour /
Institutional power play /
Relevance rather than excellence
Bottom-up approach / More focus on scientific frontier /
Risk seeking / Priority setting by peers /
Long-term perspective / Simplified yet sustainable funding /
Institutional barriers / Excellence rather than relevance
Politics
Joint Programming in Research
European Research Area
Different communities, different priorities
Framework Conditions for Joint Programming
Foresight for identification of emerging issues and development of Strategic Research Agenda
Science
(Ref. Christian SEISER, Oct. 2010)

3. (Ref. ESF) Identify Grand challenges Define and justify JPI proposal
-vision
-funding
-governance
1.1. Identify specific Themes within defined Areas
1.2 Prioritise and select Themes within these Areas
1.3 Develop a common evidence-based vision on selected Themes
Stage 2
The Council Conclusions on Joint Programming of 2 December 2008 also encouraged Member States, with the support of the Commission, to consider how best to find common approaches to a number of issues, usually referred to as “Framework Conditions”, thought to be essential for an effective development and implementation of Joint Programming in Research:
Peer Review Procedures
Foresight Activities
Evaluation of Joint Programmes
Funding of Cross-border Research by National or Regional Authorities
Optimum Dissemination and Use of Research Findings
Protection, Management and Sharing of Intellectual Property Rights
(Ref. ESF)
