A European Research Area A European Research Area open to the worldopen to the world
“The European Research Area must be opened up to the rest of the world. This will enable EU countries, and third countries, to benefit from international cooperation in Science & Technology, thereby paving the way for closer political and economic relations.”
(P. Busquin, Commissioner for Research)
The strategic objectives of a European Research Area open to the world are laid down in Commission communication “The international dimension of the European Research Area” (COM(2001) 346 final).
Strategic objectivesStrategic objectives Make the Area more attractive to the best scientists and
make it a world class reference centre
Enable European researchers and industrialists to access knowledge and technology available elsewhere in the world
Develop scientific and technological activities useful to the implementation of EU foreign and development aid policy
Enlist the S&T resources of the European Union and of third countries in initiatives that provide a response to significant world problems of concern to the Community
Communication of the Commission, The international dimension of the European Research AreaCOM(2001), 346 fin. 25.6.01
Three major routes for international scientific co-operation in FP6
Opening of “Focusing and Integrating Community Research” to third country organizations (with substantial funding)
Specific measures in support of international co-operation
International mobility of researchers
Over and above these three major routes, the international dimension is a cross-cutting issue which concerns the whole Framework programme
Opening of “Focusing and Integrating Community Research” to third country
organizations (I)
Participation to Community activities participation of researchers, teams and institutions from third
countries in projects within the Priority Thematic Areas of Research, Specific activities covering a wider field of research
Budget of 285 million Euro for third country participation
Opening of “Focusing and Integrating Community Research” to third country
organizations Strategic objectives:
To help European researchers, businesses and research organisations in the European Union and in the countries associated with the Framework programme to have access to knowledge and expertise existing elsewhere in the world
To help ensure Europe’s strong and coherent participation in research initiatives related to issues arising at the world level and being the subject of international or global efforts
Overall focus Community interest
Specific measures in support of international co-operation (II)
Dedicated international cooperation activities which are relevant to some groups of countries or regions with own calls for proposals
Budget: 315 million Euro Strategic objective
To lend support, in the scientific and technological field, to the implementation of the Community’s foreign policy and development aid policy
Overall focus mutual interest
Specific measures in support of international co-operation
These activities will be carried out: To complement the activities in the thematic priorities By means of specific targeted research projects of a limited
scale, actions to coordinate national efforts and, specific support measures
Problem oriented approach on a regional basis, policy dialogue and prioritization
Research priorities defined on the basis of the interests and objectives of the Community’s political
partnership with the different groups of countries the particular economic and social needs of countries and
regions concerned
International mobility of researchers
Incoming fellowships with possibility for “return ticket”
to work and undertake research training in Europe provision to assist fellows to return to their countries of origin
in case of emerging and transition economies and developing countries
Outgoing fellowships to be awarded to research workers from EU and Associated
Countries to work in established third country research centres
requires submission of a coherent individual training programme involving a first phase abroad followed by mandatory second phase in Europe
How can Third Countries How can Third Countries participate in FP6participate in FP6
Who can participate? All third countries: in addition to minimal number of
participants from Member States and Associated countries
Who can be funded? All third countries
INCO target countries (developing countries, Mediterranean partner countries, Western Balkan countries, Russia and the other NIS): within the allocation earmarked in the budget (285 million Euros)
Other third countries: if provision is made in work programme or if necessary to carry out the RTD activity

Some things to retain…Some things to retain… Incorporation of ‘global change’ in planned work Results include blueprints for integrated River basin
management plans adapted to local conditions…opportunity need to be timely exploited
Public participation and end-users… On-the-job training…and not only information exchange Need to work on sustainable linkages with EU WI and
WFD groups / better interface between RTD, policy and development co-operation
Future replication of similar topic for twinning of European river basins within other geographical regions….
