Book Description
Research and innovation (R&I) is crucial to boost economic growth. However, in recent years, the EU's competitiveness has been increasingly threatened by R&I efforts in emerging economies. In 2010 the Commission and Member States unveiled Europe 2020 as a new strategy for growth and Horizon 2020, its flagship R&I programme. Consideration of the budget for Horizon 2020 is still underway, and the Committee urges that it be increased, or at the very least maintained at its current level. During 2012, the Committee examined a number of proposals for projects and strategies which contained a strong emphasis on R&I and identified a number of cross-cutting issues including: concerns about the effectiveness of impact assessments; a lack of information about monitoring and evaluation of projects; and the importance of stakeholder consultation and private sector participation. This report provides a more in-depth analysis of these issues and how they relate to the Commission's R&I strategy. It is agreed with the Commission that a focus on 'excellence' in R&I proposals offers the best chance of growth through R&I. To this end more work should be done to ensure consistency in this area, and realistic expectations for output of R&I projects. The bureaucracy and complexity of EU R&I programmes acts as a barrier to private sector participation, especially for Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) without the resources to navigate complicated and inflexible funding processes. The long 'time-to-grant' period presents a further obstacle. The Government should highlight the opportunities to UK businesses, and continue strengthening their support structures for those businesses wishing to participate

Book Description
The book provides a critical overview of innovation policy in Europe and a synopsis of the current institutional framework of Europe shaped after the Europe2020 strategy and in view of the upcoming Horizon2020 agenda. What emerges is a rather gloomy outlook for the future of Europe's innovation, unless EU institutions and Member States will decide to streamline existing policies and build a "layered" model of innovation, in which governments act as investors in key enabling infrastructure such as ICT and education; as enablers of large technology markets where researchers and entrepreneurs can meet; and as purchasers of innovation when key societal challenges are at stake. The book contains proposals for the future innovation strategy of the EU and a specific analysis of areas such as the unitary patent, the transfer of technology (particularly as far as climate-related technologies and IP markets are concerned), standardization, and the digital agenda.

Book Description
This book argues that a New Deal for research in Europe is needed. This New Deal would involve the mobilisation of policy actors across all levels-–regional, national and European-–and their commitment to develop a more effective research system based on actions where they have the greatest impact. The book presents, from a viewpoint inside the European Commission, the nuts and bolts of how EU research policy is actually designed. It also provides a comprehensive analysis, on the basis of factual evidence, not only of the positive impacts of European research, but of the various criticisms that have been made of the Framework Programme.

Book Description
Understanding and evaluating the effectiveness and efficiency of proposal evaluation systems is crucial to the effective delivery of research. Public research and innovation (R&I) funding is central to the research system because it helps develop the R&I workforce, creates infrastructure for doing research and enables the conduct of research studies. The purpose of this study is to provide a comprehensive review of proposal evaluation processes used in Horizon 2020 (H2020). This executive summary presents the study key insights and conclusions.

Book Description
This short guide will assist participants and coordinators of Framework Programme projects to communicate strategically about their research. This will help you to: increase the success rate of your proposal (provided you have a good communication and dissemination plan); draw the attention of national governments, regional authorities and other public and private funding sources to the need for and ultimate benefits of (your) research; attract the interest of potential partners; encourage talented students and scientists to join your partner institutes and enterprises; enhance your reputation and visibility at local, national and international level; help the search for financial backers, licensees or industrial implementers to exploit your results; generate market demand for the products or services developed. You will be given a clear overview of formal, contractual requirements on communication and their intended use. You will be inspired by some good practices emanating from fellow project coordinators. And you will find a helpful checklist for improving your own communication activities right from the start of your project.

Book Description
Research and innovation is at the core of the Commission's vision for a more united, stronger and democratic Union. Our budgetary proposals for the period 2021-2027 include the largest absolute increase ever to the European Union's investment in research and innovation to € 100bn. Horizon Europe, the next framework programme for research and innovation (2021-2027) is the main vehicle that will bring the investment to bear on Europe's ability to shape the future. Foresight has been a key ingredient of the Commission's preparations for Horizon Europe. It was more than two years ago that we launched a foresight study to support future EU policy in research and innovation: the BOHEMIA study. The study has accompanied the preparations of our proposals ever since. Its first report, published in June 2017, described broad scenarios about the evolution of the context of EU research and innovation based on the Sustainable Development Goals and on the role of the European Union in the world. Those scenarios helped shape the recommendations of the High Level Group on maximising the impact of EU research and innovation programmes, chaired by Pascal Lamy, as well as the Commission's reflection on global challenges. Its second report, published in December 2017, made public the data from a Delphi survey investigating future trends in science, technology, the economy, society and in research and innovation systems. This data has been very helpful for our reflections on a mission-oriented approach. This final report of the BOHEMIA study involves scenarios and recommendations that broaden our strategic intelligence and allow us to reflect on new important emerging areas, risks and opportunities, and on new ways to stimulate important transitions. It provides an information base and a reflection that advances the debate on Horizon Europe and how to maximise its impact for a better Europe in a better world.

Book Description
"This document provides a summary analysis of contributions received in response to the public consultation on a Common Strategic Framework for EU research and innovation funding. This public consultation was launched on the basis of a Green Paper entitled From Challenges to Opportunities: Towards a Common Strategic Framework for EU research and innovation funding. Over 2.000 organisations, scientists, entrepreneurs and other individuals provided a response. The Common Strategic Framework will bring together funding currently provided through the Framework Programme for Research (FP7), the innovation actions of the Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (CIP) and the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT). The aim is to make EU research and innovation funding easier to access, increase its scientific and economic impact and provide better value for money. The Common Strategic Framework also provides the basis for far-reaching simplification of procedures and rules. The results of the consultation, including the discussions during the 10 June 2011 conference, will feed into the development of the Commission's legislative proposals for research and innovation spending under the future EU budget post-2013."--Editor.
