Lisbon strategyLisbon strategy
S&T contributes to the Lisbon objectives: economic growth, employment creation, environmental protection, social challenges:
fight poverty, improve human health and quality of life(GSM, remote working, safe roads, etc.)

FPs: significant impacts on FPs: significant impacts on S&T and the economyS&T and the economy
• Economic benefits
– Reduced commercial risk• increased turnover and profitability• enhanced productivity and market share
• Innovative performance– Enterprises participating in FP:
• tend to be more innovative• more likely to patent • engage in innovative co-operation with other firms
and universities

FP7 - What’s new ?FP7 - What’s new ?
Main new elements compared to FP6:• Annual budget increase (EUR 5 billion/y ►50 billion
in 7 years ~ +40%)• “Basic” research (European Research Council)• Capacities Specific Programme - Regional
Dimension, Research Infrastructures• Simplification of procedures• Logistical and administrative tasks transferred to
external structures

Waste in the previous FPsWaste in the previous FPs
Waste Research has been a key topic in FP4, while in the following two Framework Programmes this issue has been rather “internalised” in other research areas
![Page 14: “ Waste Research in the FP7” Brussels, 22 February 2006](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062502/56814cbe550346895db9c900/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The Waste StrategyThe Waste StrategyCOM(2005) 666 final 21/12/2005COM(2005) 666 final 21/12/2005
• Modernise “waste” environmental thinking Life-cycle & “impacts” thinking Apply subsidiarity
• Improve the regulatory environment Clarify and simplify
• Put prevention policies into action• Reinforce the waste recycling market
![Page 15: “ Waste Research in the FP7” Brussels, 22 February 2006](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062502/56814cbe550346895db9c900/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Some elements of the Some elements of the revision of WFDrevision of WFD
• Incineration as recovery if Efficiency > 60% (65% after 2009)
• Environmental objective Informs the hierarchy & guides policies
• Definitions Clarifies waste, recovery, reuse, recycling
• Standards Several contributions: EOW, recovery, permits,
mixing• Prevention programmes

Waste Research WorkshopsWaste Research Workshops
• 1st Workshop (31st January), more oriented towards waste treatment and recycling technologies
• 2nd Workshop (13th February), more oriented to materials recovery and waste prevention
