Review of European initiatives in R&D and future prospects

on ICT

Digital Agenda for Europe (DAE)

• Europe's strategy for a flourishing digital economy by 2020

• Outlines policies and ac<ons to maximise the

benefit of the Digital Revolu<on for all

• Based on seven pillars

The Seven Pillars

1.Reinforcing the Digital Single Market 2.Improving Interoperability and Standards 3.Boos<ng Trust and Security on the internet

4.Realizing Very Fast Internet access 5.Increasing investment in Research&InnovaCon

6.Enhancing e-‐skills 7.Using ICT for Social Challenges (energy consump<on,

ageing popula<on, public services)

DAE -‐ Ac<ons

• Not only a policy document, but also opera<ve • Series of concrete ac<ons to reach the objec<ves

outlined in the seven pillars • Ac<ons involve the governments as well as

companies and other stakeholders • 78 ac<ons are to be taken by the Commission (including 31 legal proposals) and 23 ac<ons are

proposed to the member states (MS)

13 key performance targets

• Seven pillars+101 related ac<ons => 13 numerical key performance targets

• Aim: to show whether Europe is making progress in s<mula<ng a virtuous circle of investment in and

usage of digital technologies

• The en<re EU covered by broadband by 2013 • The en<re EU covered by broadband above 30 megabit

per second by 2020 • 50 % of the EU to subscribe to broadband above 100

megabit per second by 2020 • 50 % of the popula<on to buy online by 2015

• 20 % of the popula<on to buy online cross-‐border by 2015

• 33 % of small and medium-‐sized enterprises to conduct online purchases/sales by 2015

• The difference between roaming and na<onal tariffs to approach zero by 2015

• To increase Internet usage from 60 to 75 % by 2015, and from 41 % to 60 % among disadvantaged people

• To halve the propor<on of popula<on that has never used the Internet from 30 % to 15 % by 2015

• 50 % of ci<zens to use e-‐Government by 2015, with more than half of them returning filled-‐in forms

• All key cross-‐border public services available online by 2015

• To double public investment in ICT R&D to €11 billion by 2020

• To reduce energy used for ligh<ng by 20 % by 2020

Research and Innova<on

External EU •  Iden<fy research priori<es from high growth

countries •  Topics for coopera<on with 3rd countries (coopera<on with industry)

•  Mutual openness •  Double funding for awareness raising (targeted on world class research)

FP7 interim evaluaCon: key strengths

11

  Impressive reach; likely to make a real impact

  Excellence is largely achieved

  Important contribution to mobility and training of researchers (‘Marie Curie actions’)

  Positive effect on research infrastructures

  RSFF seen as effective

  Calls are processed effectively

  Evidence for a positive ‘leverage’ effect on national research efforts and innovative capacity of industry.


FP7 interim evaluaCon: direcCon of reform

11

  Focus on Grand Challenges – climate change, competitiveness, an ageing population, energy supply

  Proper balance between research and innovation - better encompass education in research policy

  Integration of research policies at national and EU levels requires new thinking

  Look afresh at the international dimension of the FP

  Improve connections between the main performers of research in universities and research and technology organisations (RTOs), and industry (especially SMEs)
