10. Workprogramme 2002 • End of the IST-FP5 implementation • In the context of eEurope • Transition workprogramme • Preparation of the European Research Area (ERA) • Reduced budget (370 M€)

11. Workprogramme 2002 • No R&D in statistics or indicators - No calls • BUT, support activities (continuous submission scheme - deadline 28.2.2002 !!!) • Consolidation actions • AL VIII.1.1 - Clusters • AL VIII.1.2 - Networks of excellence and working groups • ALs VIII.1.5 & VIII.1.6 Co-operation • Preparation of next Framework Programme • AL VIII.1.10 Preparation of ERA (reference to statistics)

12. Workprogramme 2002 Consolidation • Cluster amongst projects • Stat-Object: development of common concepts and infrastructure to create a repository of object-oriented reusable tools for the production of OS. • Extensions to accessing countries • ...

13. Workprogramme 2002 Preparation of ERA and next FP • Next FP will be • more concentrated, in topics • significantly more important in resources for consortia • Need to be prepared: in 2002, possibility to build network(s) to • co-ordinate MS research activities • stimulate exchange of information and best practices

14. Other activities • Large EPROS meeting in October 2001. Participation of • NSIs • Consortia • Experts • EPROS publication • First issue published • Second in preparation

15. FP6

16. FP6 • 2002-2006 (2003 for budget) • In the context of the ERA initiative • More concentration on limited topics • New instruments • Networks of excellence • Integrated projects • Use of article 169: notional programmes jointly implemented • Limited possibilities for projects FP5-like

17. FP6 • Framework programme (21.2.2001 co-decision) • Implemented through specific programmes (30.5.01 - decision) • Now at the Parliament and Council

18. Structure of FP6

19. Structure of FP6

20. FP6 Possibilities for statistical research (Subject to the political decision) • Support to EU policies, in the context of the “Lisbon strategy”: improvement of the ESS • Information society priority: IT orientated R&D • ERA strengthening: opening and networking of national programmes • Knowledge society and Governance: co-ordination and improvement of the quality of the statistics produced • ERA monitoring: Science, technology and innovation statistics improvement

21. 3 new instruments • Networks of excellence: • Lasting integration of research capacities • Long-term and multidisciplinary objectives • Implemented by a joint programme of activities • Genuine ‘virtual centres of excellence’ • High level of management autonomy • Gradual integration of work programmes • Selected on the basis of calls for proposals • Integrated projects • Programmes implemented jointly

22. 3 new instruments • Networks of excellence • Integrated projects: • To boost competitiveness or to address major societal needs • To provide results applicable to products, processes or services • Research activities may be complemented by demonstration, innovation activities • High level of management autonomy • Implemented through overall financing plans • Selected on the basis of calls for proposals • Programmes implemented jointly

23. 3 new instruments • Networks of excellence • Integrated projects • Programmes implementedjointly • Joint implementation of national/regional programmes (article 169 of the Treaty) e.g. through harmonised work programmes and common, joint or co-ordinated calls for proposals • Specific implementation structure • May be used in all FP activities

24. Eurostat and ESS activities • Programme preparation • Consultation document - Many answers received • Consolidated • European Scientific Committee for Official Statistics • Organisation of concertation meetings
