Main differences/ similarities wrt FP6

• Amount: doubling of EC research budget

• 5-fold increase in Space-related budget

• Duration: 7 years instead of 4

• Thematic areas: 9 instead of 7, but very similar

• Instruments: same as FP6

Objectives

1. To support a European Space Programme focusing on applications such as GMES, with benefits for citizens and for the competitiveness of the European space industry.

2. This will contribute to the development of a European Space Policy, complementing efforts by Member States and by other key players, including the European Space Agency.

9.2 Space9.2 Space

Rationale

1. User driven applications: benefits to public authorities and decision-makers (in fields such as agriculture, environment, fisheries, security, telecommunications, transport).

2. Benefits to European industry: better definition of common objectives based on user requirements and policy objectives.

3. Co-ordination of activities: to avoid duplications, maximise interoperability and define standards.

Activities (1/2)

Space-based applications at the service of the European Society

GMES (Global Monitoring for Environment and Security): user driven approach to:

development of satellite-based monitoring systems; integration with in-situ monitoring systems; use and delivery of GMES data and services.

Innovative satellite communication services in public application sectors (e.g. civil protection, tele-medicine).

Technologies for reducing the vulnerability of space-based services and for the surveillance of space.

9.2 Space9.2 Space

Activities (2/2)

Exploration of space

Contribution to international space exploration initiatives.

RTD for strengthening space foundations

Contribution to: Space transportation technology. Space sciences including life in space.

Conclusion

• FP7 looks very promising for Space, especially GMES

• Participation of SMEs will be supported:Potocnik speech on FP7, Slovenia, 18/3/2005:« …facilitate and encourage the participation of SMEs in mainstream cooperative projects »
