Seventh Framework Programme for Research
The Framework Programme is the EU's main instrument for funding research and development, and each programme currently runs for five years. The Committee's report considers the European Commission's proposal for the next framework programme (the seventh programme or 'FP7') which it is proposed should run for a period of seven years (from 2007 to 2013). The new programme has objectives to support co-operation between industry and universities, to promote creativity through funding 'frontier' research teams and the establishment of a European Research Council, to increase training and careers development in research, and to strengthen research and innovation capacity in EU member states. Nine high level themes are proposed for EU action in relation to energy issues; environment and climate change; food, agriculture and biotechnology; health; information and communication technologies; nanotechnology and new production technologies; socio-economic sciences and the humanities; space and security research; transport and aeronautics. It addition, two themes are covered by the Euratom Framework Programme, relating to fusion energy research, and to nuclear fission and radiation protection.
A New Deal for an Effective European Research Policy
More than a century ago Louis Pasteur observed that “Science knows no country, because knowledge belongs to humanity, and is the torch which illuminates the world”. His remark has all the more resonance today with the increasing globa- sation of science, technology, and commerce. But it also underlines an important truth: that science has always advanced most rapidly when it is a collective endeavour, with a strong circulation of knowledge. When it comes to forging cooperation in research, Europe has an impressive track record. This year, the European Union’s Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development celebrates its 20th birthday. It is the world’s largest program...
The European Commission, Expert Groups, and the Policy Process
This book challenges the assumption that policy makers' work with advisory committees is emblematic of technocratic governance. Analyzing how and why the European Commission uses expert groups in the policy process, it shows that experts not only solve technical problems, but also function as political devices and negotiators in modern governance.
European Research on Environment and Health Funded by the Seventh Framework Programme
"After the first three calls for proposals, over seventy multidisciplinary pan-European research projects dealing with environment and health issues have been funded by the European Commission's Research and Innovation Directorate-General in the Seventh Framework Programme of the European Union for Research, Technological Development and Demonstration Activities (2007-2013). The volume 1 comprises the first three calls. The projects presented address a multitude of scientific issues ranging from health impacts of climate change to environmental and health impacts of nanoparticles or chemicals."--Editor.
Environment and Health Funded by the Seventh Framework Programme
After the first three calls for proposals, over 70 multidisciplinary pan-European research projects dealing with environment and health issues have been funded by the European Commission's Research and Innovation Directorate-General in the Seventh Framework Programme of the European Union for Research, Technological Development and Demonstration Activities (2007-2013). All the projects are still ongoing. Volume 1 comprises the first three calls; a second volume is expected at the end of the Seventh Framework Programme. The projects presented address a multitude of scientific issues ranging from health impacts of climate change to environmental and health impacts of nanoparticles or chemicals.
Has the Commission Ensured Efficient Implementation of the Seventh Framework Programme for Research?
"The seventh framework programme for research, technological development and demonstration activities is one of the Union's key instruments for funding research. This report examines the Commission's management of this programme. The Court concludes that the Commission has taken steps to simplify and improve the programme management, but ensuring efficient implementation remains a challenge in a number of areas. The report contains recommendations, which are aimed at helping the Commission to improve the management of the current and future framework programmes." -- P. [4] of cover
