la fragmentación perjudica la calidad
•¿Cómo utilizar mejor los recursos
existentes?
Medidas a aplicar
•No costosas
•Con valor añadido
•Con impacto inmediato
Voluntad política
•Facilitada por la situación de crisis
6. El Espacio Europeo de Investigación
(ERA) • 94% del esfuerzo público de investigación
en Europa se realiza a través de 27
sistemas nacionales independientes
Los cimientos de ERA
son los 27 sistemas • Los Programas Marco Europeos: 6%

interconectados.
• Prioridades y medidas a tomar
• Partenariado basado en la
confianza y la transparencia
7. Las cinco prioridades clave
de ERA
1. Sistemas nacionales de investigación
más eficientes
2. Cooperación y competición óptimas a
nivel transnacional
3. Un mercado de trabajo abierto para
los investigadores
4. Igualdad de género e inclusión en las
líneas de investigación
5. Circulación y transferencia de
conocimiento óptimas, incluyendo ERA
Digital
8. 1. Sistemas nacionales de
investigación más eficientes
• UE: grado variable de asignación competitiva de los
fondos de investigación a investigadores y centros,
según países.
• La excelencia en ciencia y la especialización están
potenciadas por la competición entre
investigadores.
• Excelencia: proporcional al número de
competidores
• La proporción de fondos para investigación
competitiva debe aumentar.
• No debería haber convocatorias a nivel menor que
el nacional
9. 2. Cooperación y competición óptimas
a nivel transnacional
En ERA, los sistemas nacionales deben ser interoperables
Cooperación
•Definición y puesta en marcha de programas de investigación
comunes sobre los grandes retos (envejecimiento, cambio climático…),
que no pueden hacerse a nivel nacional, o los temas que requieren la
comparación entre países (epidemiología, salud pública…)
•Construcción y funcionamiento efectivo de infraestructuras de
investigación clave, a nivel paneuropeo.
Competición
•Aumento de la calidad a través de una competición abierta a nivel
Europeo.
10. 3. Un mercado abierto de trabajo
para los investigadores
Eliminar las barreras a la movilidad de los
investigadores, su formación y el atractivo de sus
carreras:
•Aumentar la movilidad de los investigadores
•Facilitar la selección abierta de personal
investigador en los estados miembros (basada en
el mérito) Charter & Code, European Framework for
Research Careers, Euraxess
Impacto tan grande como añadir dinero
al sistema
•Portabilidad de las becas y subvenciones
•Estudios de doctorado + innovación
11. 4. Igualdad de género e inclusión en
las líneas de investigación
• Por una cuestión de justicia
• Para acabar con el desperdicio de talento,
que no nos podemos permitir
• Para diversificar visiones y enfoques en la
investigación.
• Para promover la excelencia.
• Clara petición del Consejo para mejorar la
igualdad de género:
• (Objetivo en 2005: 25% de
mujeres en puestos de liderazgo )
nivel actual 13%
12. 5. Circulación y transferencia de
conocimiento óptimas
Garantizar para todos el acceso al conocimiento y su
utilización :
•Acceso Abierto a publicaciones y datos crucial para ERA
•Los Estados Miembros tienen distintos grados de avance
definir y coordinar sus políticas de acceso abierto
•Promover la contribución de la investigación pública a la
innovación abierta.
•ERA Digital: necesaria para mantener Europa como un polo
de excelencia (servicios científico-técnicos, e-identidad, etc.)

58. European Innovation Partnerships (EIP): definition
• An EIP, as proposed in the Europe 2020 flagship Innovation
Union, provides a framework that aims to break down “silo’s”,
bringing together all relevant stakeholders across policies,
across sectors and across borders to speed up innovations
that address a major societal challenge …. They will be
organised around concrete and ambitious targets, agreed at
political level, in areas of societal challenges that command
broad public and political support…. They will be politically-
driven. Their success will depend on strong commitment and
ownership on the part of the co-legislators/budgetary

59. EIP: the new approach
1. They will be challenge-driven, focusing on societal benefits and a rapid
modernisation of the associated sectors and markets. This means that they will go
beyond the technology focus of existing instruments, such as Joint Technology
Initiatives (JTIs).
2. They will act across the whole research and innovation chain:
(i) step up research and development efforts;
(ii) coordinate investments in demonstration and pilots;
(iii) anticipate and fast-track any necessary regulation and standards;
(iv) mobilise ‘demand’ in particular through better coordinated public procurement to ensure
that any breakthroughs are quickly brought to market.
3. Therefore, they will build upon relevant existing tools and actions and, where this
makes sense (e.g. for joint programming, lead markets, joint pre-commercial and
commercial procurement schemes, regulatory screening), integrate them into a
single coherent policy framework.

The EIT funding model builds on joint strengths and resources education
of existing excellent organizations participating in the KICs. The
EIT funds on average up to 25% of the global KIC budget. The
remaining 75% of the KIC budget is a pre-requisite, showing the research
financial commitment of KIC partners and its leverage effect. This
includes KIC partners own revenues and resources, but also public
funding, including FP7, H2020 and the Structural Funds.

63. Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council… Brussels,
29.6.2011. COM(2011) 500 final. PART II
A Budget for Europe 2020 - Part II: Policy fiches
• The quality, efficiency and consistency of implementation of the CSF will be
enhanced through a major externalisation, building on the progress
achieved in current programmes. The executive agencies established under
the current programmes will be expanded to realise economies of scale.
Further use will be made of PPP with industry and P2P with Member State
programmes, including by using new possibilities foreseen under the
revised Financial Regulations. These partnerships will rest on the strong
commitment from all sides to pool resources in order to boost investments
in strategic areas and overcome fragmentation of effort.
• In this way, it is anticipated that around two thirds of the CSF budget could
be implemented externally (around a half in the present period), split
between the various support mechanisms. The degree and nature of
externalisation should be determined by, inter alia, the impact on efficiency
and the overall budget under management and may entail further
simplification of the rules applicable to externalised management. The
Commission would, nonetheless, maintain direct management
responsibilities in particular in areas linked to core policy competences.

Some hints to
get knowledge
to market
ERC Proof of Concept funding
• The type of high-risk/high-gain research at the frontiers of knowledge that the ERC
promotes often generates unexpected or new opportunities for commercial and
societal applications. The ERC is committed to ensure the full exploitation of the
excellent, useful ideas it funds. The Proof of concept funding will help ERC grant-
holder bridge the gap between their research and the earliest stage of a marketable
innovation.
• This funding aims at supporting grant-holders during the pre-demonstration phase
to prepare a "package" to be presented to venture capitalists or companies that
might invest in the new technology and take it through the early commercialisation
phase. The funding can be used to:
establish viability, technical issues and overall direction
clarify intellectual property rights position and strategy
provide feedback for budgeting and other forms of commercial discussion
provide connections to later stage funding
cover initial expenses for establishing a company
PROPOSAL: Extend a fast-track “Proof of the Concept “funding
to all the Innovation chain in H2020
67. ERC: Synergy Grants for 2010
'Synergy Grant', which is intended to enable a small group of Principal
Investigators and their teams to bring together complementary skills,
knowledge, and resources in new ways, in order to jointly address research
problems.
AIM
• to promote substantial advances in the frontier of knowledge, and to
encourage new productive lines of enquiry and new methods and
techniques, including unconventional approaches and investigations at the
interface between established disciplines.
• The evaluation will look for proposals that demonstrate the synergies,
complementarities and added value that could lead to breakthroughs that
would not be possible by the individual Principal Investigators working
alone.
Attractive long-term funding
• can be up to a maximum of 15 M€ for a period of up to six years (covering
up to 100% of the direct project costs and a contribution corresponding to
20% of the direct costs towards indirect costs).
68. Oportunidades en ICT (VI): miniprogramas

Integrated Research
•
Programmesa IRP logic rather
Context/scope: a new more effective approach shifting to programme
than a project logic. The objective is to support the operation and delivery of IRP that
bring together and integrate on a European Scale, programmes of a critical mass of
research performers This is a pilot exercise for a new way of working at EU level on
longer-term research that could be further developed in H2020.
European Reseach Alliances….
• An IRP shall clearly show and justify its European Added Value compared to efforts
undertaken at national level. The scope and complexity of the research shall address
areas that individual research programmes could not address alone and/or for which
working at European level brings in economies of scale and raises significantly the level
of excellence. It shall be based on a transparent governance and management
structure that integrates and operates seamlessly research facilities and resources,
including in-kind, from the different research programmes and organisations involved
against a common research work-plan.
• CP-CSA Support for 4 years; it is expected to receive a single proposal per technology
72. Energy Call 2013: supporting IRP
(II)
Activities:
• Integrating activities to lay the foundations for long-lasting research cooperation, including legal,
managerial and administrative aspects.
• Exchange of researchers . Joint activities to foster the use of existing research facilities and for
supporting scientific communities and industry in their access;
• Joint research activities for improving the services provided by the programmes and to fill gaps.
The research shall be innovative and generate new knowledge and technologies /proof of

concepts aimed at accelerating the translation of discovery-oriented scientific research into
technological and providing solutions to technical showstoppers faced by industry in a timely and
seamless manner.
• Transfer of knowledge aiming at reinforcing the partnership with industry. It could include actions
on international cooperation,
The proposal shall describe precise deliverables and the Key Performance Indicators against which the
programme will be monitored, it shall be focused on areas for which concrete progress can be made
clearly indicating those parts of the overall programme for which co-funding from the EC is sought to
achieve a greater impact. It should also describe the complementary activities of IRP that will be
developed in parallel with the co-funded activities and the expected results. shall also include a longer
term work plan covering more research needs of the selected technology area and describing the
capacity of the consortium and its development plan to address these needs in the future for bridging
to H2020
73. Energy Call 2013: supporting IRP
(III)
• Expected Impact: Integrated research programmes are expected to pool research capacities and
by addressing high risk, high cost, and long-term research for which there is a lack of critical mass
at MS level, strong potential for economies of scale and a high demand for cutting-edge research
capacities. Performers of research programmes will develop synergies and complementary
capabilities in such a way as to optimise the development, use and sustainable operation of the
integrated research programmes and to offer an improved access to researchers. Integrated
research programmes should also contribute to increase the potential for innovation of the
European Reseach Alliances….
related research programmes, in particular by reinforcing the partnership with European industry,
through e.g. transfer of knowledge and other dissemination activities, activities to foster the use
of research outcomes by industry.
• The scale of resources, including in-kind, brought in to the overall IRP is a crucial factor for its
impact and will be evaluated under the 'Impact' criterion.
• Additional eligibility criteria: maximum requested EU contribution per project shall not exceed
EUR 10 million.
• Topics opened for IRP: photovoltaics, wind energy, bioenergy, smart grids, electrochemical
storage, Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) .
74. Combination of Collaborative Projects & Coordination and
Support Actions (CP-CSA)
• Involves a combination of the collaborative projects &
coordination and support actions funding schemes. It enables
therefore the financing, under the same grant agreement, of
research, coordination and support activities.
• In this Work Programme, CP-CSAs on Pre-Commercial
Procurement (PCP) will combine, in a closely co-ordinated
manner:
– Networking and coordination activities: for public bodies in Europe to
cooperate in the innovation of their public services through a strategy that
includes PCP.
– Joint research activities: related to validating the PCP strategy jointly defined by
the public bodies participating in the action. This includes the exploration,
through a joint PCP, of possible solutions for the targeted improvements in
public sector services, and the testing of these solutions against a set of jointly
defined performance criteria.
• The two categories of activities are mandatory due to the

The Communication responds to the European Council request to complete ERA by 2014. Member States have clear guidance on which areas they have to take action, using their own means and procedures to achieve the stated objectives. Stakeholder organisations - representing an important number of European research funding and performing organisations - have [jointly] agreed to support and participate in the process of developing ERA.The European Commission will regularly monitor the implementation of ERA by Member States and research funding and performing organisations. The annual ERA-Progress report will present the assessment of the actions and, when needed, will include ERA specific recommendations for Member States. In case of persistent barriers, the Commission may make use of the European Semester and/or propose legislation.
