Regional dimension of FP7
Two specifically regional actions in FP7
Research Potential (RP): helps increase potential of excellent research entities in Convergence & Outermost Regions.
Regions of Knowledge (RoK): supports development of ‘regional research-driven clusters’ comprising ‘triple helix’ of research organisations/universities, business entities & regional authorities.
Synergies with other funding sources In addition to the FP7, the Structural Funds allocate € 50 billion for R&D (from
total of € 86 billion for innovation) while Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (CIP) has a budget of € 3.6 billion to promote innovation and financial engineering (venture capital, etc).

Objectives
to strengthen the capacities of their researchers
to success fully participate in research activities
at EU level
Research Potential
to stimulate the realisation of the full research potential
by unlocking and developing the research potential in
the EU’s convergence regions and outermost regions
![Page 6: Constan ţ a, 9 September 2010](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022080301/56815594550346895dc3705b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Convergence RegionsRegions eligible for financing by the Structural
Funds (2007-2013) under objective « convergence »
where capita gross
domestic product
(GDP) is less than 75 % of the average GDP of the
EU-25.
(*) Associated Countries with equiv. to ‘Convergence’ regions : all regions of Albania, Croatia, FYROM, Montenegro, Serbia & Turkey; Galilee region of Israel

Support leading-edge research in the Convergence and Outermost regions;
Increase the participation in EU FP7; Attract, develop and retain the best research professionals
in the Convergence and Outermost regions' research centres; Up-grade and extend the laboratory equipment and
research performance of the Convergence RTD actors to improve the research environment and ensure leadership;
Increase the visibility of excellence in S&T research of the C&O regions' research centres;
Demonstrate responsiveness to society and regional/European development concerns with involving relevant regional or national authorities at an early stage of the projects

Research Potential Call in WP 2011
![Page 9: Constan ţ a, 9 September 2010](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022080301/56815594550346895dc3705b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
FP7-REGPOT-2011-1
Doubling of call’s Budget in 2011 compared to 2010 The EC financial contribution per selected project can
be up to EUR 4 million The EC financial contribution may reach a max. of
100% of eligible costs (up to 7% for the indirect costs) Duration of projects: up to 36 months (+6 additional

FFP7-REGPOT-2011-1
To promote the reinforcement of the excellence of highest quality or promising research entities established in the eligible regions
Project proposed by a single public or private research entity collaborating with at least 3 European outstanding research partnering organizations of at least 3 different countries (MS, AC), in the same S&T domain
![Page 11: Constan ţ a, 9 September 2010](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022080301/56815594550346895dc3705b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The project must be proposed by a single public or private research entity of significant scientific size (e.g. University Depart., Faculties or specialized research institutes with at least 10 permanent experienced researchers) established in the convergence & outermost regions of EU/AC*
• 3 or more experienced and knowledgeable partner organisations should participate in the proposal.
FP7-REGPOT-2011-1Participants
![Page 12: Constan ţ a, 9 September 2010](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022080301/56815594550346895dc3705b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
A Steering Committee for research strategy should be foreseen with top class scientists (e.g. representatives of the 'partnering organisations').
Regional authorities, funding agencies, representatives of the national research bodies, applicant's parent organisation, and end-users (SMEs, industry, etc) could also participate if appropriate, especially in order to ensure synergies with local, regional or national policies or programmes.
Such an approach will increase the sustainability of the Convergence and Outermost regions' RTD players.
It will also enhance the up-scaling of their potential and will allow them to become dynamic "innovation engines" capable of sustaining regional or national growth and employment.
FFP7-REGPOT-2011-1Steering Committee
![Page 13: Constan ţ a, 9 September 2010](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022080301/56815594550346895dc3705b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
This activity will support the implementation of an Action Plan:defined by the highest quality or promising
research entities established in the eligible regions
derived from a SWOT analysis of the applicant’s research entity
FFP7-REGPOT-2011-1Action Plan
![Page 14: Constan ţ a, 9 September 2010](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022080301/56815594550346895dc3705b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Action plan must include a set of 4 coherent measures:
1. Exchange of know-how and experience with at least 3 or more experienced and knowledgeable PO in the EU/ACs (2-way secondments of research staff with obligatory return mechanism – secondment salaries not covered)
2. Recruitment by the selected research entities of incoming experienced researchers (or managers but not master/PhD students )
3. Acquisition, development, maintenance or upgrading of research equipment (30% - up to 45%) (depreciation)
4. Organisation of workshops and conferences, dissemination and promotional activities to facilitate knowledge transfer at national and international level
FFP7-REGPOT-2011-1Action Plan
![Page 15: Constan ţ a, 9 September 2010](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022080301/56815594550346895dc3705b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
In addition to listed 4 measures, the applicants can optionally apply for an international independent expert evaluation of their overall research quality and capacity.
The evaluation:will take place after the end of the implementation of the
Action Plan (over a period of up to 6 months)should be developed in a separate work package
whose eligible costs should not exceed 100 000 € Its added value to be justified and methodology to be
described
“together with SC (Regional and National Research Authorities)” Check the level of excellence, the research strategy and agenda Make suggestions for a better sustainability Output: a business plan
