Main differences/ similarities wrt FP6
• Amount: doubling of EC research budget
• 5-fold increase in Space-related budget
• Duration: 7 years instead of 4
• Thematic areas: 9 instead of 7, but very similar
• Instruments: same as FP6

Objectives
1. To support a European Space Programme focusing on applications such as GMES, with benefits for citizens and for the competitiveness of the European space industry.
2. This will contribute to the development of a European Space Policy, complementing efforts by Member States and by other key players, including the European Space Agency.
9.2 Space9.2 Space
Rationale
1. User driven applications: benefits to public authorities and decision-makers (in fields such as agriculture, environment, fisheries, security, telecommunications, transport).
2. Benefits to European industry: better definition of common objectives based on user requirements and policy objectives.
3. Co-ordination of activities: to avoid duplications, maximise interoperability and define standards.
Activities (1/2)
Space-based applications at the service of the European Society
GMES (Global Monitoring for Environment and Security): user driven approach to:
development of satellite-based monitoring systems; integration with in-situ monitoring systems; use and delivery of GMES data and services.
Innovative satellite communication services in public application sectors (e.g. civil protection, tele-medicine).
Technologies for reducing the vulnerability of space-based services and for the surveillance of space.
9.2 Space9.2 Space
Activities (2/2)
Exploration of space
Contribution to international space exploration initiatives.
RTD for strengthening space foundations
Contribution to: Space transportation technology. Space sciences including life in space.

Conclusion
• FP7 looks very promising for Space, especially GMES
• Participation of SMEs will be supported:Potocnik speech on FP7, Slovenia, 18/3/2005:« …facilitate and encourage the participation of SMEs in mainstream cooperative projects »
