Cities face unprecedented challenges in terms of economic, social and environmental resilience, governance and management. At the same time, cities are hubs of innovation and wealth creation, and magnets for an ever increasing urban population. The aim of the EU R&I agenda is to support cities and urban regions in becoming actors of open innovation and being open to the world as ambassadors of the European excellence in research and innovation. This will help them to accelerate the transition to sustainable, low-carbon societies. An integrated Research and Innovation Framework for Smart and Sustainable Cities intends to: Better co-ordinate, streamline and focus the existing and future research and innovation activities and initiatives on urban issues across Horizon 2020 and future Framework Programmes. Enable a sustainable and systemic approach to innovation, by fostering co-creation, co- development and co-implementation with different actors and citizens in cities across the Union and worldwide. Develop new business and governance models, mobilise new partnerships and investments, and facilitate market uptake of visionary solutions and approaches needed to enhance urban resilience. Provide the knowledge and evidence base to inform decision on investments in key infrastructure for cities and urban regions as well as to inform policy-making, planning and land use management. Europe can capitalise on over 30 years of investment in transnational EU Research and Innovation (R&I) on sustainable urban development. This document provides a comprehensive overview of current actions and projects funded through Horizon 2020 and the past three framework programmes. The EU investment in urban related projects alone in the first four years of Horizon 2020 amounts to around 1.7 billion EUR for 612 projects across the three pillars of Horizon 2020, Excellent Science, Industrial Leadership and Societal Challenges. The investment in FP7, FP6 and FP5 were respectively 1.9 billion EUR; 0.4 billion EUR and 0.5 billion EUR. 5 EU RESEARCH AND INNOVATION FOR AND WITH CITIES 6 EU RESEARCH AND INNOVATION FOR SUSTAINABLE URBAN DEVELOPMENT Europe stimulates cities to be actors of Open Innovation in responding to the present environmental, social and economic challenges. European cities currently house 72% of the European population, which is predicted to rise to 80% by 2050. The EU Research and Innovation policy in this area is supported by Horizon 2020, the main instrument in which new research and innovation on sustainable urban development is developed. The main policy goals are to spur novel solutions and partnerships to urban challenges and to create an open community of practice. An integrated Research and Innovation Framework for Smart and Sustainable Cities intends to: Better coordinate, streamline and focus the existing and future research and innovation activities and initiatives on urban issues across Horizon 2020 and future Framework Programmes. Enable a sustainable and systemic approach to innovation, by fostering co-creation, co- development and co-implementation with different actors and citizens in cities across the Union and worldwide.

Provide the knowledge and evidence base to inform decision on investments in key infrastructure for cities and urban regions as well as to inform policy-making, planning and land use management. EU Research and Innovation is steered to stimulate Open Science, Open Innovation and to be Open to the World. EU Science, Innovation and International collaboration support the response of Europe to the New Global Urban Agenda. The EU investment in urban related projects alone in the first four years of Horizon 2020 amounts to around 1.7 billion € for 612 projects across the three pillars of Horizon 2020, excellent science,, Industrial leadership and societal challenges. The investment in FP7, FP6 and FP5 were respectively 1.9 billion EUR; 0.4 billion EUR and 0.5 billion EUR.

The purpose of this study is to analyse and evaluate the changes to the EU’s science and technology policies from Framework Programme to Horizon 2020 and to provide vital information to research organisations and academia to conceive and conduct future research on international cooperation with the EU. Through a policy analysis, this study summarised the four science and technology policy implications: (1) building ecosystems through mutual complementation among industries, (2) solving social problems through science and technology, (3) strengthening SMEs’ participation, and (4) sharing knowledge and strengthening collaboration with non-EU countries. Keywords: European Union; Horizon 2020; Framework Programme; R & D; STI Policy 1. Introduction Over the past decade, the European Union (EU) has faced a situation in which economic growth and jobs have been lost because of the recent financial crisis, and sustainable economic growth does not appear easy in the future. Due to the economic and financial crisis, the EU’s GDP declined to 4% in 2009, industrial production fell to levels characterising the 1990s’ levels, and unemployment increased to include 9.6% of the economically active population.

  • Eu Research and Development Programmes
    CROSS-CUTTING POLICIES | EU RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMMES CROSS-CUTTING POLICIES EU Research and Development Programmes Overview Today’s technologies have the potential to bend the carbon- emissions curve—but new, better, and cheaper innovations are a key component of any achievable plan for a net-zero– emissions economy by 2050. In its special report on Clean Energy Innovation, IEA estimates that currently mature technologies may reduce global emissions by 25 percent until 2070—but at least 35 percent of emissions cuts are expected to be delivered by technologies in the prototyping or demonstration phases. In other words, accelerated clean energy technology is essential to stopping climate change and limiting the rise of global temperatures. Government investment in clean energy research and innovation (R&I) can catalyse greater private-sector investment, help the EU reach its sustainable development targets, and maintain industrial competitiveness. Research and development (R&D) is usually understood as the first step in R&I. In 2017, total R&D spending in the EU was €317 billion, or 2.06 percent of its GDP. This was far below the official 3 percent target and behind Japan (spending 3.20 percent of its GDP), the U.S. (2.78 percent) and China (2.13 percent). Traditionally, around one-third of all R&D funding in the EU comes from public sources (some 10 percent from EU funds, 30 percent from national governments, and 60 percent from higher education). The rest comes from private R&D investments. The EU collates many R&I-related institutions, initiatives, and funds under one programme, Horizon Europe, which will run from 2021–2027 and replace the earlier Horizon 2020.

The former dimension was implemented gradually and led to the adoption of the first framework programme for Community research in 1983.
