  1. Food, agriculture and biotechnologyin the 7thRTD Framework Programme Bergen, 1 September 2005 Dr. Klaus-Günther Barthel Directorate for Biotechnology, Agriculture and Food Research European Commission, DG Research

  2. Cooperation – Collaborative research Ideas – Frontier Research People – Human Potential Capacities – Research Capacity + JRC (non-nuclear) JRC (nuclear) Euratom FP7 2007 - 2013 Specific Programmes

  3. Cooperation – Collaborative research 9 Thematic Priorities 1. Health 2. Food, agriculture and biotechnology 3. Information and communication technologies 4. Nanosciences, nanotechnologies, materials and new production technologies 5. Energy 6. Environment (including climate change) 7. Transport (including aeronautics) 8. Socio-economic sciences and the humanities 9. Security and space + Euratom: Fusion energyresearch, nuclear fission and radiation protection

  4. 2. Food, Agriculture and Biotechnology Sustainable production and management of biological resources from land, forest, and aquatic environments “Fork to farm”: Food, health and well being Life sciences and biotechnology for sustainable non-food products and processes

  5. 2. Food, Agriculture and Biotechnology Objectives • sustainable food production • food-related disorders • infectious animal diseases • agriculture/fishery production and climate change • high quality food, animal welfare and the rural context Build a European Knowledge-Based Bio-Economy (KBBE) Respond to social and economic challenges: Support CAP and CFP Involve all stakeholders (incl. industry) in research Respond quickly to emerging research needs

  6. 2. Food, Agriculture and Biotechnology Rationale Biotechnology and food companies / SMEs need to be competitive on the world market (‘European Strategy on Life Sciences and Biotechnology’) Society demands safer and healthier food Renewable resources and biomass for non-food applications helps reducing dependence on hydrocarbon-based economy • Society demands sustainable and • eco-efficient production methods in agriculture/fishery/forestry International cooperation ensures optimal exploitation of resources and application of results

  7. Life sciences & biotechnology for sustainable non- food products + processes “Fork to Farm”Food, health and well-being THE EUROPEAN KNOWLEDGE-BASED BIOECONOMY QUALITY ASSURANCE STRATEGIES TRACEABILITY, CONSUMER SCIENCE STABILITY - BIODEGRADABILITY FUNCTIONALITY (Chirality) SOCIETAL NEEDS WHITEBIOTECH CLEAN BIOPROCESSES RAW MATERIALS/WASTE ADVANCED FOOD TECHNOLOGIES, FOOD QUALITY DETERMINANTS, NUTRITION PROCESSING GREEN/BLUE BIOTECH OPTIMISED RAW MATERIALS LOW INPUT FARMING - BIODIVERSITY ANIMAL HEALTH - RURAL DEVT. PRODUCTION Sustainable production and management of biological resources from land, forest, and aquatic environments

  8. 1) Sustainable production and management of biological resources from land, forest, and aquatic environment Activities: Enabling research (‘omics’, converging technologies, biodiversity) for micro-organism, plants and animals Improved crops and production systems incl. organic farming Sustainable, competitive and multifunctional agriculture, forestry and rural development Animal welfare, breeding and production Infectious diseases in animals, including zoonoses Policy tools for agriculture and rural development

  9. 2) “Fork to farm”: Food, health and well being Activities: Activities: Consumer, societal, industrial and health aspects of food and feed Nutrition, diet related diseases and disorders Innovative food and feed processing Improved quality and safety of food, beverage and feed Total food chain concept Traceability

  10. 3) Life sciences and biotechnology for sustainable non-food products and processes Activities: Improved crops, feed-stocks, marine products and biomass for energy, environment, and high added value industrial products; novel farming systems Bio-catalysis; new bio-refinery concepts Forestry and forest based products and processes Environmental remediation and cleaner processing

  11. 2. Food, Agriculture and Biotechnology research What's new? • Pillar 2 “Food, health and well-being” ensures continuity of FP6 “Food quality and safety” research • New: Pillar 1 “Sustainable production and management of biological resources” and pillar 3 “Life sciences and biotech for sustainable non-food products and processes” • Some topics under pillar 1&3 partly financed in FP4 and FP5 (BIOTECH, FAIR, QoL, etc.), but FP6 efforts scattered and not of sufficient critical mass (some activities under materials, energy and environment) providing no synergies • Technology platforms in the area of plant biotechnology, animal breeding, global animal health, forestry, food and industrial biotechnology

  12. 2. Food, Agriculture and Biotechnology research Borderline with other FP7 themes • Enabling/systems biology research on plants, animals and microbes complementary to systems biology for human health applications in theme 1. • Complementary research relating to the management/conservation of natural resources addressed under the “Environment including Climate Change” theme. • Demonstration of bioprocesses for biomass conversion to energy/materials under this priority – up-scaling and complete process design under materials and energy themes

  13. Food, Agriculture and Biotechnology research NEST; policy support; international cooperation New activities within the themes: • Integration of new and emerging science and technologies • Support to policy development (CAP, CPF, public health, food safety, animal health, …) • International co-operation … to be defined on the level of the specific programme or workprogramme

  14. Cooperation – Collaborative research • Under each theme there will be sufficient flexibility to address both Emerging needsand Unforeseen policy needs • Dissemination of knowledge and transfer of results will be supported in all thematic areas • Support will be implemented across all themes through: Collaborative research (Collaborative projects; Networks of Excellence; Coordination/support actions) Joint Technology Initiatives Coordination of non-Community research programmes (ERA-NET; ERA-NET+; Article 169) International Cooperation

  15. Coordination of non-Community research programmes Coordination of national and regional programmes – actions will use the tools: • ERA-NET • ERA-NET PLUS • Article 169 • May cover subjects beyond the nine themes Coordination with European programmes • Addresses principally intergovernmental structures such as EUREKA, COST, etc

  16. The instruments (1) 1. To support actions which are implemented on the basis of calls for proposals: • Collaborative projects • Networks of Excellence • Coordination/support actions • ERA-Nets, ERA-Nets + • Individual projects • Fellowships • Research projects for third parties (i.a. SMEs)

  17. The instruments (2) 2. To support actions implemented directly on the basis of decisions by the COUNCIL and the EUROPEAN PARLAMENT: • Art. 169 • Joint Technology Initiatives • Development of new infrastructures of European interest

  18. Ideas – Frontier Research ERC – European Research Council Commission Scientific Council* • Preparation of work programme • Set up of peer review: pool of reviewers, nomination of review panels, evaluation guidelines • Oversight of the evaluation procedure • Annual scientific report • Approval of work programme, as defined by the Scientific Council • Instruction to implement work programme • Approval of annual implementation report • Information to programme committee Externalised tasks** • Information and support to applicants • Reception / eligibility of proposals • Organisation and execution of evaluation • Selection decision • Scientific and financial follow-up of contracts • Annual implementation report * Created by Commission decision * * Under the responsibility of the Commission

  19. People– Human Potential Initial training of researchers Marie Curie Networks Life-long training and career development Individual Fellowships Co-financing of regional/national/international programmes Industry-academia pathways and partnerships Industry-Academia Scheme International dimension Outgoing International Fellowships; Incoming International Fellowships International Cooperation Scheme; Reintegration grants Specific actions Excellence awards

  20. 1. Research Infrastructures 2. Research for the benefit of SMEs 3. Regions of Knowledge 4. Research Potential 5. Science in Society 6. Activities of International Cooperation Capacities – Research Capacity
