5 The Seventh Framework Programme: Overview

THE SEVENTH FRAMEWORK FOR RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT, or better known as FP7, served as the EU’s main instrument for funding research, science and innovation in Europe between 2007 and 2013. FP7 was broken down into four main actions directed at supporting and expanding research and the European Research Area through: “cooperation”, “ideas”, “people” and “capacities” (see Figure 1). The following descriptions, provided at the onset of FP7 by the European Commission via CORDIS (Community Re- search and Development Information Service), briefly outline the programme’s original objectives:

COOPERATION (with 10 themes): To gain leadership in key scientific and technological areas by supporting cooperation between universities, industry, research centres and public authorities across the European Union as well as the rest of the world. FP7 will distribute the benefits of research cooperation more widely across the major fields of progress in knowledge and technology where excellent research must be strengthened to address European social, economic, public health, environmental and industrial challenges. The Specific Pro- gramme ’Cooperation’ will be open to the participation of countries who have entered a research cooperation agreement with the European Union and open to the participation of entities from third countries and of international organisations for scientific cooperation. Ten themes serve as research actions under Cooperation: 1) Health; 2) Food, Agriculture and Biotechnology; 3) Information and Communication Technologies; 4) Nanosciences, Nanotechnologies, Materials and new Production Technologies; 5) Energy; 6) Environment (including Climate Change); 7) Transport (including Aeronautics); 8) Socioeconomic Sci- ences and Humanities; 9) Space; 10) Security.

Figure 1: FP7 breakdown by sub-programme actions and indicative budget.

6 IDEAS (ERC): To reinforce the dynamism, creativity and excellence of European research at the frontier of knowledge and to improve the attractiveness of Europe for the best researchers from European and third countries, as well as for industrial research investment. The Specific Programme ’Ideas’ shall be investigator-driven and aims to support activities in ’frontier research’, carried out by individual teams competing at European level, within and across all fields of research. Projects will be funded on the basis of proposals presented by researchers both from the private and public sectors on subjects of their choice and evaluated on the sole criterion of excellence, as judged by peer review. For its implementation, a ’European Research Council’, consisting of an independent ’Scientific Council’, and a lean and cost-effective dedicated implementation structure will be created by the European Council.

PEOPLE (Mobility via Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions): Strengthening, quantitatively and qualitatively, the human potential in R&D in Europe, by: stimulating people to enter into the researcher’s profession; encouraging European researchers to stay in Europe; attrac- ting researchers from the entire world to Europe; making Europe more attractive to the best researchers. Increasing participation of women researchers, by: encouraging equal opportunities; ensuring achievement of an appropriate work/life balance; facilitating the resumption of a research career after a break. A coherent set of ’Marie Curie actions’ will address researchers, from initial training to life-long learning and career development in the public and private sectors.

CAPACITIES: To enhance research and innovation capacities throughout Europe and unlock the full research potential of European regions, especially convergence regions. Synergies and complementarities will be sought with other community policies and programmes, such as the Community’s regional and cohesion policy, the Structural Funds, the Competi- tiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (CIP) and relevant education and training programmes. Building on the European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructure (ES- FRI), the Specific Programme ’Capacities’ will support the construction of new research infrastructures in a two-stage approach involving a preparatory phase and a construction phase. Increased support will be available for the benefit of SMEs. Within the Specific Pro- gramme, the ’Regions of Knowledge’ initiative aims at creating networks of regions to help them make full use of their research strengths, enable them to absorb new knowledge arising from research and to facilitate the emergence of ’research-driven clusters’ associating universities, research centres, enterprises and regional authorities. The ’Science in Society’ initiative will strengthen the European science system, broaden the engagement of researchers and the public at large, in addition to supporting reflection and debate on science and technology and their place in society.

EURATOM & JOINT RESEARCH CENTRE: The Euratom programme includes energy and nuclear research and training in fusion and fission, while the JRC is the European Commission’s in-house science service providing advice and technical support surrounding EU policy. Despite being part of FP7, and with respective budgets of ~2.7 & ~1.7b €, these activities are outside the scope or intent of this compendium, and not further considered herein.

7 FP7 Activity at LiU

THIS COMPENDIUM describes many of Linköping University’s contributions, in participation and performance, to the EU’s Seventh Framework Programme, highlighting research activities and academic excellence in thematic actions involving cooperation, ideas, people and capacities. The overall magnitude of FP7 participation is notably impressive. Over the seven years, 487 calls received 135,716 proposals involving over 601,000 applicant organisations and individuals of which, more than 25,000 proposals involving 130,000 participants were retained for negotiation – with reported average success rates for proposals and applicants being 19% and 22%, respectively. Aggregate project costs of retained proposals equaled €62,9 billion with a financial requested contribution of nearly €42 billion (DG Research and Innovation Monitoring Report, European Commission, 2015). Although 9th in rank regarding the number of applicants, in terms of signed grant agreements, Sweden ranked 8th in participation and budget share – with the number of grant holders being 4,506 (or 3.8%) relative to 117,639 for the EU-28. As of December 2014, forty-eight percent or 7,280 FP7 research projects were reported as completed – filing more than 1,500 patent applications and contributing over 40,000 publications of which nearly half were repor- tedly published in High Impact Peer Reviewed Journals (based on final processed reports; Seventh FP7 Monitoring Report, 2013).

Linköping University participated in over 120 projects during FP7, both as coordinator and partner, and with the inclusion of sole participations, at a rate of about 19 to 81%, respectively (N=112). Over 500 applications were actively registered as submitted from LiU, exhibit- ing a somewhat sporadic yet gradual increase in the rate of interest during the framework’s duration; a trend anecdotally reflecting overall submission rates (see Figure 2 below). The EU contribution received for projects at LiU increased from ~3.6M € in 2007 to that of ~7.0M € in 2010, remaining stable in terms of the amount generated until the close of FP7 in 2013. Table 1 lists the general share of EU projects by institution at LiU.

Figure 3: Overview of national partnership (constellations) by actor/institution type. Based solely on the projects within this compendium N=86; excludes individually awarded projects such as ERC and some Marie Curie projects. 9 Over 50% of all FP7 projects at LiU received funding under the Programme Cooperation; highlighting its preponderance at the core of Framework Seven and with two-thirds the budget. The majority of projects at LiU were in ICT (Information & Communication Tech- nologies), Health, Nanosciences, and Transport (at approximately 41, 21, 10, 10%, respectively; see overall breakdown of LiU projects by action in Table 2, below). ICT stands out as an area of particular strength for LiU especially when considered in relative proportion to its overall rate of participation in Sweden (i.e., 41 vs. 24%).

In terms of the prestigious, investigator-driven, frontier-research awards or European Re- search Council’s programme ‘Ideas’, LiU was home to a total of 10 grants with outstanding researchers being awarded 7 Starting Grants and 3 Advanced Grants (six calls each over a seven year period regarding Starting and Advanced Grant categories). Two additional applicants from LiU were ranked as highly competitive but, due to unexpected shortfalls in available budgets, were funded post-hoc nationally under the rubric of “ERC grants” by VR, the Swedish Research Council; see footnote under Table 2, where VR funded ERC projects are not included). LiU took part in a wide array of Marie Curie actions, especially with re- ference to Initial Training Networks and under the Staff Exchange Scheme. Under the pro-

10 gramme ‘Capacities’, and despite the lack of essential details for post-hoc comparison, LiU was recognized and nationally noted as outstandingly active under the auspices of Science in Society (pers. comm. M. Hagardt, NCP for SiS at the Swedish Innovation Agency, Vin- nova). Efforts surrounding ‘Research Infrastructures’ were well represented, for example, by the National Supercomputer Centre, located at LiU and as part of the Swedish National Infrastructure for Computing, which took part in numerous large-scale or Pan-Europe- an initiatives aimed at integrated computing for the purpose of enhanced/enabled grids and advanced informatics. Uniquely noteworthy is LiU’s involvement in a project entitled ”Graphene-based revolutions in ICT and beyond” under the ”Future of Emerging Techno- logies” Scheme (FET). Through an extensive and highly competitive selection process, and under a novel FP scheme focusing on frontier, large-scale initiatives, the Project ”Graphe- ne”, led by Chalmers and with over 70 partners, was deemed visionary and ambitious, and selected as one of only two ”Flagship Initiatives”, from an original playing field of six pilot projects, to receive up to €100m in support over a ten-year period.

Part of the Framework’s mission, in consonance with seeking European cohesion, sustainable growth and socio-economic well-being under the European Research Area (ERA), is to promote and enhance cooperation. For FP7 by country, the top five collaborative links (in number) associated with successful Swedish consortia were: Germany (9,141), the United Kingdom (7,246), France (5,985) Italy (5,078) and Spain (4,544). LiU’s top European and Nordic consortium partners are listed in Table 3 (data gleaned from CORDIS, see caption below). From a longer perspective, i.e., within the timeframe of 2000 to 2014 where more complete data are available, LiU has taken part in a minimum of 179 EU Framework projects involving an impressive network of 2,168 partnerships.

11 In terms of overall FP7 funding, LiU positioned itself well as 7th in the nation receiving just over €52 million (Table 4). Östergötland, with a Swedish EC contribution of €92.3 million, was ranked as the 5th most active county (län) in Sweden with just over 5% of all participations and ~5.4% of the national EC contribution, preceded only by Stockholm, Västra Götaland, Skåne and Uppsala Counties; counties/regions that are larger more historically developed, as well as having more diverse or complex R&D/HEI ecosystems (Östergötland as region 123 based on NUTS, nomenclature of units for territorial statistics). Linköping University, as the sole/primary university (HEI) in the region, accounted for the majority of FP activity in terms of participations (53%) and coordinated projects (70%), bringing in a total of 57.3% of the overall EC contribution of €90 million, followed by SMHI, SAAB, VTI and SGI (i.e., the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute, SAAB industries, Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute and the Swedish Geotechnical Institute, respectively; Vinnova Analysis, VA 2015:01).

12 Horizon 2020: Future Potential Seeking to enhance stakeholder interest and involvement, and with a particular emphasis placed on advancing small and medium sized enterprise participation, the current framework programme has been deliberately “entitled” Horizon 2020. Breaking from past framework programmes that often focused on thematic research areas, Horizon 2020 aims its attention towards grand societal challenges. Extending from 2014 to 2020, it stands as the world’s largest research and innovation programme with an indicative budget of over €70 billion (see Horizon 2020 Figure below for a schematic breakdown). Project funding is em- phatically structured under three pillars with a focus on excellent research (€24.4b, 31.7%), industrial leadership (€17b, 22.0%) and societal challenges (€29.4b, 38.5%), with horizontal elements involving “science with and for society” and “spreading excellence and wide- ning participation”, further including the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) with a focus on competitiveness and knowledge communities, the Joint Research Centre (JRC), which is the EU’s in-house science service providing independent scientific advice and support for EU policy, and Euratom, a complementary research programme for nuclear research and training. In light of the outstanding contributions made herein, and on behalf of LiU and LiU’s Grants Office, we hope this compendium provides insights in research excellence and a sense of inspiration - leading to future interest and synergies in European research cooperation and innovative potential.

Cooperation Ideas

People Capacities

’INVESTIGATOR-DRIVEN’ ’FRONTIER’ RESEARCH, within the framework of activities commonly understood as ’basic research’, is a key driver of wealth and social progress, as it opens new opportunities for scientific and technological advance, and is instrumental in producing new knowledge leading to future applications and markets. Despite many achievements and a high level of performance in a large number of fields, Europe is not making the most of its research potential and resources, and urgently needs a greater capacity to generate knowledge and translate such knowledge into economic and social value and growth. A Europe-wide competitive funding structure (in addition to and not replacing national funding) for frontier research executed by individual teams, which may be of national or transnational character, is a key component of the European Research Area (ERA). By promoting frontier research across the European Union, the Specific Programme ’Ideas’ aims to put European research in a leading position, opening the way to creating new and often unexpected scientific and technological results, and new areas for research. It will stimulate the flow of ideas and allow Europe to exploit its research assets and foster in the drive towards a dynamic knowledge-based society, with long- term benefits for the competitiveness of European economies and wellbeing. This action will respond to the most promising and productive areas of research, and the best opportunities for scientific and technological progress, within and across disciplines, including engineering and social sciences, as well as humanities.

People Capacities

ABUNDANT AND HIGHLY TRAINED QUALIFIED RESEARCHERS are a necessary condition to advance science and to underpin innovation, but also an important factor to attract and sustain investments in research by public and private entities. Against the background of growing competition at world level, the development of an open European labour market for researchers free from all forms of discrimination and the diversification of skills and career paths of researchers are crucial to support a beneficial circulation of researchers and their knowledge, both within Europe and in a global setting. Special measures to encourage early-stage researchers and support early stages of scientific career, as well as measures to reduce the ’brain drain’, such as reintegration grants, will be introduced. Building on the experiences with the ’Marie Curie actions’ under previous framework programmes, this will be done by putting into place a coherent set of ’Marie Curie actions’, particularly taking into account the European added value in terms of their impact on the ’European research area’ (ERA). These actions will address researchers at all stages of their careers, from initial research training specifically intended for young people to life-long learning and career development in the public and private sectors. Mobility, both transnational and intersectoral, including the stimulation of industrial participation and the opening of research careers and academic positions at European scale, is a key component of the ’European research area’ and indispensable to increasing European capacities and performance in research. International competition between researchers will remain central in order to ensure the highest quality of research under this activity. Increas- ing the mobility of researchers and strengthening the resources of those institutions which attract researchers internationally will encourage centres of excellence around the European Union. To ensure training and mobility within new research and technology areas, appropriate coordination with other parts of the ’Seventh framework programme’ will be ensured and synergies will be sought with other Community policies, e.g. on education, cohesion and employment. Actions on linking science education to careers, and research and coordination actions on new methods in science education are foreseen under the ’Science in society’ part of the ’Capacities’ programme.
