  1. Enhancing and focusing EU international cooperation in research and innovation: A strategic approach

  2. EU RESEARCH & INNOVATIONPOLICY AND HORIZON 2020 • INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION STRATEGY IN HORIZON 2020 • INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION STRATEGY IN THE PACIFIC Delivered by Thierry Catteau, Attaché, EU Delegation for the Pacific

  3. I. EU RESEARCH & INNOVATIONPOLICY AND HORIZON 2020

  4. FP7 funding for international partners

  5. What is Horizon 2020? • Commission proposal for a 80 billion euro research and innovation funding programme (2014-2020) • Core part of Innovation Union & European Research Area initiative under Europe 2020: • - Responding to the economic crisis (jobs and growth) • - Addressing people’s concerns (livelihoods, safety, environment) • - Strengthening EU’s global position (research, innovation, technology)

  6. What’s new under Horizon 2020? • Single programme out of three currently separate programmes* • Coupling research to innovation – from research to retail • Increased focus on societal challenges facing EU society (health, energy, biodiversity…) • Simplified access,for all companies, universities, institutes in all EU countries and beyond. *The 7th Research Framework Programme (FP7), innovation aspects of Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (CIP), EU contribution to the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT)

  7. Three priorities: Excellent science Industrial leadership Societal challenges

  8. II. IMPLEMENTATION OF THE INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION STRATEGY IN HORIZON 2020

  9. New strategy • Rationale: need to engage more actively and strategically in international cooperation • Three main objectives: • Strengthen the Union's excellence and attractiveness in research and innovation as well as its industrial and economic competitiveness • Tackle global societal challenges • Support the Union's external policies • Openness with better strategic, targeted actions • Strengthened partnership with EU Member States • Stronger contribution ofresearch and innovation to external policies of the Union

  10. Multi-annual roadmaps for cooperation with countries/regions • Industrialised countries and emerging economies • Focus on competitiveness • Tackle global challenges • Business opportunities and access to new markets • Developing countries • Support development policy by building partnerships contributing to sustainable development • Address relevant challenges (e.g. poverty-related diseases, energy and food security, biodiversity)

  11. Association • For the first time, Horizon 2020 provides formal criteria for association for third countries: • Good capacity in science, technology and innovation; • Good track record of participating in Union research and innovation programmes; • Close economic and geographic links with the Union;

  12. III. IMPLEMENTATION OF THE INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION STRATEGY IN THE PACIFIC

  13. Achievements so far in the Pacific (2010-13) • Clearer picture of research in the Pacific region. • Information (research actors, policy development agendas, priority topics) made available to the main stakeholders • Better understanding of research funding in the region and its multiple sources (institutional, private sector, civil society, and bi-lateral & multi-lateral donors) • Providing information on EU research policy to/for researchers from the Pacific islands • Training on submission of proposals to FP calls

  14. What is expected through the new International Cooperation strategy in HORIZON 2020(1) • Consolidated S&T (both ‘hard and soft’) policy framework with the Pacific region • Improved synergy between EU research & innovation policy and EU external policies on the ground • Better targeted research and innovation actions within the general openness of HORIZON 2020 calls

  15. What is expected through the new INCO strategy in HORIZON 2020(2) • Creation of a roadmap for EU cooperation in science, technology & innovation with the South Pacific • Prioritisation of challenges addressed and the actors involved in implementation

  16. A future Inco-Net for the Pacific? • Proposals currently under evaluation • Expected to promote: • More interaction between research and innovation actors in-the-field • Identification of potential areas for innovation with industry • Promotion and understanding of HORIZON 2020 and other EU programmes • Supporting a network of framework programme contact points in the Pacific region • Ensuring strong synergies with EU-New Zealand and EU-Australian bilateral dialogue platforms (FRIENZ and CAESIE projects)
