Why double the FP7 budget? Tackle under-investment by exerting leverage on national
and private investment
– Increase EU spending on R&D : 1.97% of GDP vs 2.59% (US)
– Help leverage business R&D (EU wide projects, solutions and market)
– Brings EU public R&D spending to 0.96% of GDP (close to 1% target)
– Encourage Member States Tackle fragmentation of research effort in the EU and
enhance its efficiency and effectiveness
– Achieve critical mass, share knowledge and facilities
– Better dissemination across the EU
– More excellence through EU wide competition
– Less fragmentation through stronger coordination
Why double the FP7 budget?

Nanosciences, nanotechnologies, materials
and new production technologies
Nanosciences and Nanotechnologies (FP)
Objective:
– Increase and support the take up of knowledge generated in this revolutionary field for all industrial sectors
Topics include: – interface and size dependent phenomena
– materials properties at nano-scale
– self assembly
– metrology
– new concepts and approaches
– impacts on health and safety
– convergence of emerging technologies
Nanosciences and nanotechnologies
The objective is to create materials and systems with pre-defined properties and behaviour, based on increased knowledge and experience with matter at the nano scale. This will lead to a new generation of high added-value, competitive products and services with superior performance across a range of applications, while minimising any potential adverse environmental and health impacts. Interdisciplinarity, integrating theoretical and experimental approaches, will be promoted.
The focus will be new knowledge on the interactions of atoms, molecules and their aggregations with both natural and artificial entities. The research will also address the relevant instruments, tools, pilot lines and demonstration activities required for highly novel approaches to nanotechnology-based manufacturing in the most promising industrial sectors. In addition, the activity will focus on related challenges and the societal context and acceptance of nanotechnology. This will include research on all aspects of risk assessment (e.g. nano-toxicology and -ecotoxicology), as well as safety, nomenclature, metrology and standards which are becoming increasingly important to pave the way for industrial applications. Specific actions will also be launched for establishing dedicated centres of knowledge and expertise as well as a focal point to implement the Commission’s integrated and responsible approach towards nanotechnology as outlined in the associated Action Plan[1].
[1] Commission Communication, Nanosciences and Nanotechnologies: an action plan for Europe 2005-09 - COM(2005) 243.
Specific Programme
Nanosciences, nanotechnologies, materials
and new production technologies
Materials (FP)
Objective:
– generate new knowledge to enable new industrial products and processes to be achieved, exploiting the potential of interdisciplinary approaches in materials research.
Topics include:
– high performance, sustainable and knowledge-based materials
– design and simulation
– nano-, bio- and hybrid materials and their processing
– chemical technologies
– materials processing industries
Specific Programme
Materials
New advanced materials with higher knowledge content, new functionalities and improved performance are increasingly critical for industrial competitiveness and sustainable development. According to the new models of manufacturing industry, it is the materials themselves which are becoming the first step in increasing the value of products and their performance, rather than the processing steps.
Research will focus on developing new knowledge-based materials with tailored properties. This requires an intelligent control of intrinsic properties, processing and production, and taking into account potential impacts on health and the environment throughout their entire life-cycle. Emphasis will be placed on new advanced materials obtained using the potential of nanotechnologies and biotechnologies and/or “learning from nature”, in particular higher performance nano-materials, bio-materials and hybrid materials.
A multidisciplinary approach will be fostered, involving chemistry, physics and increasingly the biological sciences. Materials characterisation, design and simulation are also essential to better understand materials phenomena, in particular the structure–property relationships at different scales; to improve materials assessment and reliability, and to extend the concept of virtual materials for materials design. The integration of nano-molecular-macro levels in chemical and materials technologies will be supported for developing new concepts and processes such as in catalysis, and process intensification and optimisation.
Nanosciences, nanotechnologies, materials
and new production technologies
New production (FP)
Objective:
– create continuously innovating production capabilities to achieve leadership in industrial products & processes in the global marketplace.
Topics include:
– Knowledge-intensive production
– new paradigms for emerging industrial needs
– adaptive, networked and knowledge-based production
– convergence of technologies for next generation of high value-added products (nano, bio, info, cognitive..)
Specific Programme
A new approach to manufacturing is required for the transformation of EU industry from a resource intensive to a knowledge-based industrial environment and will depend on the adoption of totally new attitudes towards the continued acquisition, deployment, protection and funding of new knowledge and its use, including towards sustainable production and consumption patterns. This entails creating the right conditions for continuous innovation (in industrial activities and production systems, including construction, devices, and services) and for developing generic production “assets” (technologies, organisation and production facilities) while also meeting safety and environmental requirements.
The research will focus on a number of strands: the development and validation of new industrial models and strategies covering all aspects of product and process life-cycle; adaptive production systems that overcome existing process limitations and enable new manufacturing and processing methods; networked production to develop tools and methods for co-operative and value-added operations at a global scale; tools for the rapid transfer and integration of new technologies into the design and operation of manufacturing processes; and the exploitation of the convergence of the nano-, bio-, info- and cognitive technologies to develop new products and engineering concepts and the possibility of new industries.
New Production Technologies
Nanosciences, nanotechnologies, materials
and new production technologies
Integration of technologies for industrial applications (FP)
Objective:
– accelerate the rate of industrial transformation by exploiting the application potential and integration of new technologies.
Topics include:
– Integration of nano, materials and production technologies in sectoral and cross-sectoral applications (e.g. health, construction, transport, energy, chemistry, environment, textiles & clothing, pulp & paper, mechanical engineering)
Specific Programme
Integration of technologies for industrial applications
The integration of knowledge and technologies of the three areas of research above is essential in order to speed up the transformation of European industry and its economy, while adopting a safe, socially responsible and sustainable approach.
The research will focus on new applications and novel, step-change solutions responding to major challenges, as well as to the RTD needs identified by the different European Technology Platforms. The integration of new knowledge and nano-, materials-, and production-technologies will be supported in sectoral and cross-sectoral applications such as health, construction, space industry, transport, energy, chemistry, environment, textiles and clothing, pulp and paper, and mechanical engineering, as well as in the generic subject of industrial safety.
Importance of Technology Platforms
to help establish common
research priorities and targets
Strategic Research Agendas
Extracted from the communication COM(2005) 118
final page 8
“The 7th Framework Programme is tailored to better meet industry’s needs.
Where industrially relevant, the definition of work programmes will draw on the strategic research agendas developed by industry-led technology platforms. These strategic research agendas, presenting the European dimension of research challenges, also influence national research programmes. Furthermore, by always looking at the market potential of new inventions, they help to overcome Europe’s weakness in commercialising the results of research.”
