2 European Research Area The European Research Area is composed of all research and development activities, programmes and policies in Europe which involve a transnational perspective. Together, they enable researchers, research institutions and businesses to increasingly circulate, compete and cooperate across borders. The aim is to give them access to a Europe-wide open space for knowledge and technologies in which transnational synergies and complementarities are fully exploited. Mio Euro Public Funding for Research (Source : ERA Key Figures 2007, EC) Transnational Collaboration in EU 27: 10 to 15 % A compartmentalised ERA EU27 + EC Competitive Federal Funding in US : 85 to 90 % Germany France UK Italy Spain EU Community Netherlands Sweden Belgium Finland Austria Denmark Portugal Ireland Poland Greece Czech rep.

3 Excellent research institutions and universities Single labour market for researchers European Research Area Building blocks ERA World-class research infrastructures Joint Programming Opening of the ERA to the world Effective knowledge sharing Joint Programming Towards Joint Programming in Research: Working together to tackle common challenges more effectively Commission Communication COM 468/2008 Overall aim - to pool national research efforts in order to make better use of Europe's public R&D resources and to tackle common European challenges more effectively in a few key areas. 3

4 Lead by Member States: Joint Programming - Definition voluntary participation + variable geometry common vision on how to address major societal challenges define, develop and implement common strategic research agendas Collaboration between existing national programmes or the setting up of entirely new ones It entails pooling of resources Challenges HDHL- A healthy diet for a healthy life to change dietary patterns, lifestyle and food supply based on developments in food, nutritional, social and health sciences to have a major impact on improving public health, increasing quality of life and prolong productive life Aim contribute significantly to the construction of a fully operational European Research Area on prevention of dietrelated diseases => Increased efficiency and impact of public R&D strengthening leadership and competitiveness in the research activities in this field 4

6 HDHL- Current status Vision paper published Strategic Research Agenda (SRA) draft consultation in progress on website HDHL conference 28 November 2011 Madurodam, The Hague SRA to be presented for feed-back Two task forces: TF1 inventory of resources available in MS - end 2011 TF2 inventory of ongoing infrastructure activities First pilot action envisaged for early 2012 several topics proposed, to be decided by the end of 2011 Commission - Current role Support implementation of JPIs: 2 mio Euro for secretariat through a CSA - for starting activities; FP 7 project FAHRE - Food and Health Research in Europe mapping food and health research in Europe + recommendation to enhance coordination WP KBBE : Study on the need for food and health research infrastructures Assure that there is complementarity between research activities carried out in FPs and JPI 6

7 Long-term perspective Horizon Funding of JPIs: Article 185 possible only if JPI reaches significant collaboration in scale and scope of achievements case-by-case evaluation for contribution via ERA-nets and thematic calls following an established dialogue on mutual role in addressing the common challenges Further information HDHL website: European Research Area; Joint programming: rogramming_en.htm Commission Recommendation No 2010/250/EU on the research joint programming initiative A healthy diet for a healthy life : 0:0036:0037:en:PDF Council Conclusions launching the second wave JPI HDHL included: 7
