Towards FP7

• Commission proposal 2005– 7 years; €70 billion

• Revision by Council and Parliament– General support, but:

• budgetary limits• general amendments• specific issues, such as research on human stem cells

• Expecting finalisation December 2006– Budget € 54 billion (1935 Mio€ for Food,

agriculture and biotechnology)– First work-programme end December 2006

New elements in FP7

• Emphasis on research themes rather than on “instruments”

• Significant simplification of its operation

• Focus on developing research that meets the needs of European industry, through the work of Technology Platforms and the new Joint Technology Initiatives

• Establishment of a European Research Council, funding the best of European science

• Integration of International cooperation in all four programmes

• Development of Regions of Knowledge

• A Risk-Sharing Finance Facility aimed at fostering private investment in research

• Under each theme there will be flexibility to address emerging needs and unforeseen policy needs

• Dissemination of knowledge and transfer of results will be supported in all thematic areas

• Support will be implemented across all themes through:


9 Themes1. Health2. Food, agriculture and biotechnology3. Information and communication technologies4. Nanosciences, nanotechnologies, materials and new

production technologies5. Energy6. Environment (including climate change)7. Transport (including aeronautics)8. Socio-economic sciences and the humanities9. Security and space

production technologies5. Energy6. Environment (including climate change)7. Transport (including aeronautics)8. Socio-economic sciences and the humanities9. Security and space

SOCIETAL NEEDS


The bio-economy is large….

• Annual turnover ca €1 668 billion– Food: €850b– Agriculture: €210b– Fisheries and aquaculture: €8b– Paper/pulp: €400b– Forestry/wood: €150b– Industrial biotechnology: €50b


…. but faces significant challenges

• Climate and environment– Global warming; extreme weather; drought; biodiversity;

sustainable fisheries; water and soil quality

• Social change and rural development– Demographics; lifestyle and consumer demand;

attitudes to new technologies; changing use of countryside

• Health– Obesity, allergies, zoonoses

• Economy and trade– Globalisation; CAP/CFP

• Research structures– Converging technologies; multidisciplinarity

Need to prioritise

“More with less”• Theme 2 FP7 “Food, Agriculture, Biotechnology” has broader scope

than priority 5 “Food Quality&Safety” of FP6 (added activity 3 on biotech products and processes for non-food applications)

• Research to support policies, international cooperation and coordination of national research is integrated into the themes

• Budget for first calls of theme 2 - FP7 comparable (or lower) than for priority 5 - FP6

Need to prioritise along the following criteria:• New areas/topics not (little) covered in previous FPs.• Continue/follow-up on successful EU research activities in order to

achieve maximum impact.• Preparatory actions for identifying priority topics/activity areas for

future calls, i.e. analysis of certain research/technology options for addressing specific goals

Consultation and external input

Input into work programme from:• Advisory Group of this theme• the research community,• interested organisations (EFSA, etc.)• Standing Committee for Agricultural Research (SCAR)• expert workshops, outputs from conferences• studies, analysis of ongoing research, • policy needs (other Commission directorates) • strategic research agendas (SRA) of the European

Technology Platforms relevant to Theme 2 (Plants for the Future; Sustainable Farm Animal Breeding and Reproduction; Global Animal Health; Food for Life; Forestry; Biofuels; the Industrial Biotechnology section of the Sustainable Chemistry Platform)
