17. FP6 perspectives : Objectives, Coverage and Instruments

18. Key Component of EU Policy • The Union has set an objective for the next decade at the Lisbon Council: • “To become the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economy in the world, capable of sustainable economic growth with more and better jobs and greater social cohesion” • eEurope: A major instrument to attain this objective • IST: The key technologies for knowledge creation, sharing and exploitation

19. The “Global Knowledge Race” • The US invests 3 times more on RTD in IST • 52% of RTD effort in IST in OECD countries is in the US • only 17% in Europe (22% in Japan) • Public investment in the EU is 50% of that in the US • and the gap is widening • The EU effort is fragmented • critical mass is rarely reached in the Member States • And IST have shorter and shorter life cycles

20. Commission Proposal

21. The Context • IST is becoming the 2nd largest sector of the economy • 6 to 10% of business sectors in OECD countries • Employs more than 2 million people in the EU • IST innovations are key enablers of economic growth • 1/3 of growth in the US between 1997 and 2000 is due to IST • Research in all disciplines is highly dependent on IST • Complex problems, multidisciplinarity, collaboration

22. Key Challenges Ambient intelligence: • Bring the users, “people”, to the foreground the “centre of our attention” .. • And build technologies for the background (almost invisible) which are trustworthy and embedded in every day objects

23. Societal /Economic Challenges • Develop technologies to address major societal and economic challenges • health, mobility, security, leisure, cultural heritage, environment monitoring • e-business and m-business, security of transactions and infrastructures, new working tools, learning, egovernment .. • large scale distributed systems, including grids, for complex problems in environment, energy, health, transport, industrial design

24. Computing / Communications • Enable richer services and improve access to computing and communication infrastructures • next generation of wireless, mobile and satellite communication; all-optical networks; networks integration and management, enabling technologies... • software architectures and distributed systems; engineering and control of large scale and complex systems

25. Components/Micro-systems • Pushing the limits of miniaturisation, increase cost-efficiency and improve functionality of components • design and production of micro/opto electronic and photonic components • nano-electronics, micro-technologies and micro-systems; new materials and quantum devices; new computing models and concepts

26. Knowledge / Interaction Modes • Enabling easier knowledge handling and more natural and personalised interfaces • systems for knowledge management based on semantics; tools to create, organise, share and disseminate digital content • multi-sensorial interfaces to understand and interpret natural human expressions; multilingual and multicultural systems

27. Instruments • Three instruments: • networks of excellence • integrated projects • article 169 • Different from FP5 instruments • Externalisation is a key component of the Commission ’s proposal

28. Integrated Projects • in the « tens » of M€ • strong university/industry collaboration • global funding involving public and private funding, as well as other collaboration schemes such as Eureka • selection on a call for proposal basis • implementable also as clusters of actions • large autonomy given to participants, including possibility to launch calls for proposals • third country participation • encourage participation of SMEs

29. Budget • Integrating Research • Genomics 2 Beuro • IST 3.6 Beuro • Nanotechnologies, intelligent materials, new processes 1.3 Beuro • Aeronautics and space 1 Beuro • Food safety 0.6 Beuro • Sustainable development 1.7 Beuro • Citizens in knowledge society 0.225 Beuro • Anticipation of S&T needs 2.345 Euro

30. The 6th FP Process • 21/2/2001: Commission proposal to Council and Parliament • 3/3/2001: presentation to informal Council meeting in Uppsala • May 2001: Commission proposals on participation rules and on specific programmes • June 2001: Research Council • July 2001: Parliament’s first reading of FP6 • Oct/Dec 2001: Research Council position • March 2002: Parliament second reading • Spring 2002: conciliation procedure • June 2002: final adoption

31. CPA WP2002 substance and rationale from INFSO D2 perspective

32. CPA WP2002 SUBSTANCE/RATIONALE • CREATIVE WORK VS PAST HERITAGE • QUALITY OF TOOLS DETERMINES QUALITY OF EXPRESSION • PRESERVATION/RESTORATION VS CREATION • ACCESS VS CREATION • CREATION AND CULTURAL COMMUNITIES • GENERIC PLATFORMS AND CULTURAL DIVERSITY • STRONG SYNERGIES WITH PAST D2 ACTIVITY • SHIFTS IN FOCUS • 6FP TRANSITION
