This book was released on 2016 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is conducted in the context of the evaluation of the European Union Framework Programmes for Research, Technological developments and Demonstration Activities (FPs). It is one of the preparatory studies being undertaken for the overall ex post evaluation of the FP7 (2007-2013). It aims at assessing the participation of Research Performing Organisations (RPOs) in FPs, the impact of FPs on the different dynamics and functioning of RPOs in the EU and the role of RPOs in the development of the FPs and EU research and innovation policy. The scope of the study covers FP6 and FP7 funded research projects that involve the participation of RPOs based in the EU28 Member States and some RPOs based in Associated and Third Countries (e.g. the US). The current report presents the results of the evaluation based on information collected through primary and secondary sources of information. Primary data collection has been conducted through in-depth interviews with representatives of selected RPOs across 16 MS, Norway, and the US, as well as with European associations of RPOs and representatives of the European Commission. Secondary sources have been used to collect both qualitative information from literature reviews and quantitative information from various databases (e.g. CORDA and Scopus).
Download or read book A New Deal for an Effective European Research Policy written by Ugur Muldur and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-05-06 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues that a New Deal for research in Europe is needed. This New Deal would involve the mobilisation of policy actors across all levels-–regional, national and European-–and their commitment to develop a more effective research system based on actions where they have the greatest impact. The book presents, from a viewpoint inside the European Commission, the nuts and bolts of how EU research policy is actually designed. It also provides a comprehensive analysis, on the basis of factual evidence, not only of the positive impacts of European research, but of the various criticisms that have been made of the Framework Programme.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of the study "Assessing the reproducibility of research results in EU Framework Programmes for Research" is to assist the European Commission in understanding, testing and monitoring the progress of reproducibility over time and across the programmes. The study primarily focused on the state of reproducibility during the implementation of Horizon 2020. The study relied on a mixed-methods research design, combining qualitative textual analysis of 50 Horizon 2020 projects, quantitative assessment of 300 Horizon 2020 projects, as well as a large-scale survey programme of researchers, journal editors, and research funders. The data collected indicates that while reproducibility of research is an important principle to stakeholders overall, the level of implementation of reproducibility-related practices is very mixed depending on the specific reproducibility-related factor. Our findings suggest that the key barriers for reproducibility are cultural factors in the scientific field (e.g. pressure to publish, lack of recognition of reproducibility-related research practices) and the perception that reproducibility is costly in terms of time and resources. Based on these findings, this study provides a comprehensive set of recommendations for research funders to overcome the existing barriers and increase reproducibility of EU-funded research and innovation.
Download or read book Participation of the EU in Research and Development Programmes Undertaken by Several Member States Based on Article 185 of the TFEU written by and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Article 185 of the Treaty for the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) gives the EU the possibility to participate financially in multiannual research programmes proposed by several Member States including countries associated to the EU's framework programmes for R&I. This Staff Working Document (SWD) builds mainly on the main findings from seven individual evaluations and the results of public stakeholder consultations. It is focused on the overarching issues that concern all initiatives. The evaluation of Article 185 initiatives shows that individual initiatives are all well on track to achieve their objectives. Article 185 initiatives have been have been successful in creating long-term R&I partnerships and networks between research funders and governments, contributing to the European Research Area (ERA). They mobilise significant investment in transnational research projects in important policy areas, both globally and/or regionally. There is substantive evidence that participation in Article 185 initiatives will not replace national programmes but is used to strengthen the transnational dimension of national R&I systems in general. While all initiatives demonstrate good achievements in scientific and managerial integration, only few show evidence of strong financial integration.

Book excerpt: This report combines inputs from three experts on monitoring the impact of the European Framework Programme for research and innovation. This work is largely based on literature review and lessons learned from relevant practices worldwide as regards the tracking of scientific, societal and economic impact from research and innovation investments. These inputs informed the European Commission proposal for the monitoring and evaluation system of Horizon Europe, the ninth European Framework Programme (FP) for research and innovation, where the introduction of Key impact pathways, and related key impact pathway indicators should allow a better tracking of progress towards the programme objectives over time.
Download or read book The European Fund for Strategic Investments The Legacy written by European Investment Bank and published by European Investment Bank. This book was released on 2021-01-07 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The inside story of the European Fund for Strategic Investments from 2015 to 2020 told through interviews with the Managing Director, Deputy Managing Director, members of the Investment Committee and final beneficiaries across Europe. The architects of this €500 billion-plus programme, the head of the EU bank and the president of the European Commission, describe the genesis of this financial pillar of the Investment Plan for Europe. Then the people who ran one of the biggest economic stimulus programmes in history detail how they did it—and what the lessons are for policymakers responding to new crises, including the economic shock caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The European Fund for Strategic Investments has been one of the good news stories to emerge in a decade of economic uncertainty. It has gone well beyond its highly ambitious target of €500 billion in mobilised investments. The Juncker Plan has made a strong contribution to the 14 million jobs created in the EU between 2015 and 2020. It has become a success in co-financing projects that otherwise might not have been carried through. It has also charted the path towards new ways of financing. This is not only the case in relatively conventional areas, such as infrastructure, but also in sectors like research and innovation or the contribution to climate change mitigation. This is exactly what makes EFSI so ground-breaking: responding to the needs of the market through continuous financial innovation. The principle of the European Fund for Strategic Investments is here to stay. It has paved the way for its successor, the InvestEU programme, which is to be deployed under the 2021-2027 multiannual financial framework. This publication details why the programme was such a success.
Download or read book Overcoming Innovation Gaps in the EU 13 Member States written by and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Investing in research is considered essential for achieving smart, sustainable and inclusive growth and jobs in Europe. The framework programme (FP) is the EU's primary instrument for the creation of the European Research Area. FPs are expected to produce European added value, so the principle of juste retour does not apply here. Research needs to be of the highest quality, produced in international collaboration and selected on a competitive basis. Under these conditions, uneven participation is unavoidable. However, FP participation appears to be biased against an entire region of the EU. After almost 20 years of access to the opportunities of the FPs, the EU-13 countries are still lagging behind the EU-15. Moreover, the knowledge that is produced needs to be applied in national contexts, and the FPs also aim to increase cohesion and promote social responsibility. This is why uneven participation is an issue that impacts on the achievement of the higher objectives of the EU FPs as such. The aim of this study is to explore, identify and shed light on the reasons for the low participation and success rate of the EU-13 countries, in order to improve their future performance in Horizon 2020 and FP9. A combination of methods was used to achieve this aim. The study includes an extensive literature review on various aspects of EU-13 participation in FPs, a comprehensive data analysis to allow a number of hypotheses regarding the origins of the low participation and success rates of the EU-13 countries in FP7 and Horizon 2020 to be tested empirically, an online survey among public research institutions, universities and business enterprises, and interviews with policy-makers. The results point in the direction of possible solutions. Some solutions will be the responsibility of each Member State government. The EU needs to take action where low participation is caused by the design and governance of the FPs, as well as where patterns of participation, which have emerged over time and have now become self-reinforcing, create barriers to entry.
