Dr. ir. Paul C. VossenInternational Cooperation Projects
DG Research and Innovation, European Commission
Plan:• The international dimension of the 7th Framework
Programme • FP7 Projects and Networks in Latin America & the
Caribbean (LAC)• The future
The 7th programme (FP7):EU’s main instrument for funding research
Duration: 2007-2013 - 7 years Last 2 years started
Budget: over € 53 billion
Integration of the international dimension into all Specific Programmes
FP7 (2007-2013):
Capacities : € 4097
Marie Curie Actions People : € 4750
Collaborative research10 thematic areas Cooperation : € 32 413
JRC : € 1751Euratom : € 2751 (Nuclear research)
Frontier Research (ERC) « Ideas » : € 7510
Basic Principles:
• Public calls for proposals detailed in annual work-programmes
• Peer review, competitive selection based on scientific excellence (also for International Cooperation!)
• Trans-national cooperation
• Cost-sharing
• Participants own the results
Instruments:• Specific International Co-operation Activities (SICA)• Coordinated calls• Twinning of projects
• Exchange partnership scheme / Mobility of researchers• International Cooperation Capacities tools:
– promote cooperation opportunities and – facilitate participation of researchers and research institutions from third
countries in FP7.

The EU’s post-2013 is in preparation:
• “Common Strategic Framework for Research & Innovation” (“Horizon 2020”)
• “Common” to all services involved in implementation of “Europe 2020 Strategy” and “Innovation Union Flagship”.
• This is thus not limited tot R&I services senso stricto, but also external affairs, development cooperation, …
A changed context:
– The major societal challenges are world-wide;– Cooperation needed, no isolation – Challenge and innovation strategies developed by all major
regions and countries
--> there will be excellent opportunities for encourageing joint biregional “win-win” approaches for innovation through international cooperation;
This implies emphasis on:• Research & innovation in support to addressing major societal
challenges as identified by EU:
– Global change
– Scarcity of ressources
– Ageing
~ energie, climate change, health, food security, …
