THE IDEA OF ERA
Lisbon, Barcelona targets
EU of 27 countries (2007), population 426.3 millions
ALLEA of 40 countries and 53 academies (2007)
PROGRESS TOWARDS ERA (1)
General target of 3% of GDP?
Present estimate ~ 2%
FP7 – excellence, coherence, simplification
Bottlenecks: shortage of people, state of infrastructure, need for coherent R&D policy
PROGRESS TOWARDS ERA (2)
Academies:
The influence of the progress of globalization was not taken fully into account when the strategy of ERA was designed
Societal dimension and culture of innovation – more attention
Bureaucratic processes, both local and European level, hinder progress
