Research in Robotics for Manufacturing:
State of Play and Opportunities for EU-Japan Cooperation
Jan RAMBOER
DG Research and Innovation
PolicyResearch andInnovation
• To support innovation in manufacturing by developing enabling production technologies to help EU manufacturing industry across many sectors to adapt to global competitive pressures by boosting their technological base
• Manufacturing as a driving force in the EU economy, (21% of GDP and 20% of all jobs)
• 25 industrial sectors, largely dominated by SMEs
• Need to produce more with less resources & less waste
• FP7 Themes involved: NMP, ICT
• Budget: € 1.2 billion in 4 years
The Factories of the Future PPP
PolicyResearch andInnovation
Why Public-Private Partnerships?
• Support to Europe's re-industrialisation through radical innovations & technological development
• Reinforced cooperation with industry to create growth & jobs, whilst addressing major societal challenges
• To strengthen European industrial leadership
• To leverage research and innovation efforts
• To strongly commit industry to joint objectives

PolicyResearch andInnovation
Features in "contractual" PPP calls
• Involvement of industry in the preparation
• Industrial partners provide orientation
• High share of industrial experts in evaluations
• Single stage evaluation to reduce time-to-contract
• Implemented through Coordinated Calls for Proposals
• Specific PPP Annex to the WP adds visibility
• Open to everyone according to normal FP7 rules

What are Key Enabling Technologies (KETs) ?
PolicyResearch andInnovation
Some Issues Regarding KETs
• Europe has a strong position in science output
• EU actors at top of patent ranking in each KET
• But: There is a gap between the technology base & the manufacturing base
• Current efforts need to be complemented byo Product development (including effective demonstrators)o Development of manufacturing expertise
