Horizon 2020: Geographical balance of beneficiaries
This briefing explores the performance gap between EU-15 and EU-13 countries under Horizon 2020, the reasons for this gap and policy options at national and EU levels.
Exploring the performance gap in EU Framework Programmes between EU13 and EU15 Member States
The European Union (EU)'s Research and Innovation Framework Programmes are the largest programmes for international research collaboration worldwide. Repeated reports point to the issue of underperformance in the Framework Programmes by the EU13 Member States - countries that joined the EU in and after 2004 - in comparison with the EU15 Member States - which entered the EU before 2004. This in-depth analysis explores the background of various challenges in research and development of EU13 vs EU15 ...
La politique de la recherche et du développement technologique
La politique européenne de la recherche et du développement technologique (RDT) occupe, dès les premiers traités communautaires, une place prépondérante dans la législation européenne et a été étendue au début des années 80 avec l’établissement d’un programme-cadre pour la recherche en Europe. Depuis 2014, le financement de la recherche dans l’Union a été largement regroupé au sein du programme Horizon 2020, le 8e programme-cadre pour la recherche et l’innovation en Europe pour la période 2014-2020 ...
Joint Technology Initiatives
Joint technology initiatives (JTIs) were set up as European institutional public-private partnerships to carry out the strategic research agenda of some established European technology platforms. Five JTIs were established under the 7th framework programme for research. Evaluation of these JTIs led to development of their legal framework to simplify their rules and procedures. Six JTIs are currently operational, receiving a €6.7 billion contribution from Horizon 2020.
EU Research Policy: Tackling the major challenges facing European society
• 2014 – 2020, EU funds for research and innovation near €120 billion. • €31 billion of EU funds are set aside for research into societal challenges (2014 – 2020) • A fully established European Research Area will generate annual gains of €16 billion.
Espace européen de la recherche
La présente étude du coût de la non-Europe examine l'état de mise en œuvre du cadre stratégique actuel pour la création d'un espace européen de la recherche (EER). L'étude combine une évaluation rétroactive (ex post) et une évaluation prospective (ex ante). Alors que l'évaluation ex post se penche sur la mise en œuvre du cadre stratégique de l'EER, l'évaluation ex ante se concentre sur les coûts et les avantages potentiels induits par une éventuelle action politique future. Ce faisant, elle recense ...
The Future of EU Defence Research
There is an increasing demand for the EU to become a ‘Security Provider’. This demand comes from Europe’s best ally, namely the U.S., but also from Member States themselves. For the first time ever the defence solidarity clause of article 42.7 of the Treaty on European Union was invoked in November 2015. Ultimately the demand to put ‘more defence in the Union’ comes from European citizens who wonder why Europe does not protect them in the current turmoil. From the answer to this question depends ...
Horizon 2020: research and innovation for growth
Horizon 2020 will be one of the main European Union instruments aimed at achieving an "Innovation Union", one of the Europe 2020 growth goals. It will focus on research outputs and innovation, with the goal of accelerating the commercialisation and diffusion of innovation.
L’attractivité de l’UE pour les scientifiques de haut niveau
L’étude montre que si l’Europe dispose d’une solide base dans le domaine de la science et de la recherche, le secteur européen de la recherche n’est actuellement pas suffisamment attrayant pour les chercheurs de haut niveau. Pour régler efficacement ce problème, il est nécessaire de mettre en place des stratégies spécifiquement axées sur la qualité de l’environnement de recherche, tout en créant les conditions propices pour mieux promouvoir et récompenser l’excellence scientifique. Il existe des ...
EU Budget Support for Research and Innovation
The aim of the Common Strategic Framework (CSF) is to improve the efficiency of research and innovation funding at national and EU levels, primarily by bringing together, within a single unitary framework, the three main existing sources of funding for research and innovation – the FP7, the CIP and the EIT initiatives. The current study aims to provide a set of specific recommendations focused on reinforcing, streamlining, simplifying and synchronising the complementarity of all the above-mentioned ...
