Photo: Kobi Gideon BoBo agency / Greetings from the Minister of Industry, Trade and Labor The State of Israel is considered a world leader in technological innovation. The number of startup companies founded each year, the relative number of inventions and Eli Yishai developments produced by Israeli scientists and engineers is almost unparalleled anywhere in the world. Israel’s positive results and successful integration in the Sixth European Framework Programme is further evidence of the creativity and innovation of the Israeli economy. The European Framework Programme facilitates unique collaborations between Israeli industry and the European R&D community. R&D is recognized as an important and fundamental growth engine for the Israeli economy, and bolstering knowledge-based industry is a guarantee for continued growth. The participation of Israeli industry and academia in the European arena, which currently numbers 420 million people, enables Israeli industry to break out of the local market and benefit from a critical mass for basic and technological research that could not be achieved without international cooperation in the European framework. I would like to point out that the welcome involvement in the Sixth Programme also allowed industries from Israel’s periphery, from the Negev to the Galilee to benefit from the possibility of working with leading organizations in Europe and develop a beyond our limited geographical borders. I hope that, with God's help, our work will enable Israel to continue to take part in the new Seventh Framework Programme that will advance Israeli R&D, and Israel's economy. This continued cooperation will help to blaze new trails and bring Israel more impressive achievements. I wish the Israeli R&D community continued success. Sincerely, Eliyahu Yishai Minister of Industry, Trade and Labor Greetings from the Commissioner for Science and Research The European Union will soon adopt its Seventh Framework Programme for research and technological development. This will be the biggest Framework Programme yet, with €54 billion over 7 years. The Janez Potočnik Programme represents continuity with past programmes, as well as new approaches which open the way for more ambitious research and development, not only for participants in the European Union, but also in our partner countries. Scientific and technological cooperation is a significant element of relations between Israel and the European Union. Through joint projects, we pool our expertise in many fields of R&D to respond to the social and economic challenges that affect us all. At the same time we create links between people, a very important aspect of building solid international relationships. Scientific cooperation between Israel and Europe has brought new opportunities for Israeli enterprises, Greetings from the Chief Scientist Israel's Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor Promoting international cooperation in research and development is among the most prominent goals of the Chief Scientist's Office. As the Sixth European Framework Programme draws to a close, and the Seventh Eli Opper Programme is about to begin, I would like to highlight the achievements and challenges ahead. Research grants totaling 203 million euros were received by Israeli academic and industrial research organization during the Sixth Programme, while the Israeli government invested NIS 190 million in the program. This impressive achievement is further amplified by the value of the knowledge gained by Israeli industry. The estimated worth of this knowledge is estimated to be 400 million euros. Participating organizations made strategic connections with leading European companies, academic institutions and research institutions beyond the Programme. Israeli industry gained access to European markets. Their participation in the Framework Programme contributed significantly to these advances. The Seventh Programme brings new and complex challenges. We are seeking to strengthen the systems that support the Israeli R&D community via ISERD - the Israel Directorate for the EU Framework Programme. One such system is the Small and Medium Enterprise Authority. We also strive to increase Israeli participation in the Seventh Programme’s projects. Analysis reveals that participation in the Sixth Programme improves chances for future participation. Israeli organizations that have not yet participated in a Framework Programme will be encouraged to do so. Israel’s partnership in the Framework Programme leads to cooperation between all areas of Israeli R&D - industry, academia and research institutions. The Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor, the Ministry of Science, Culture and Sports and the Planning and Budgets Committee of the Council for Higher Education are all represented on ISERD’s steering committee. The chief scientists from the various government ministries have also joined the committee, to promote the advancement of Israel's research and development. We must participate as fully as possible in the Seventh Programme, to advance academic and industrial R&D, promote economic growth and improve the welfare of Israel’s citizens. My appreciation to all those involved in this effort, and best wishes for success. Dr. Eli Opper Chief Scientist Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor Chairman of the Interministerial Steering Committee at ISERD research organizations and universities through sharing experience and access to EU markets. Since Israel first participated in the Framework Programme in 1996, R&D co-operation with the EU has enjoyed remarkable success. More than 700 Israeli companies, research institutes and universities took part in projects under the auspices of the Sixth Framework Programme. We have a particularly strong track record of cooperation in information technology and life sciences, and I am particularly pleased to see the growing number of Israeli researchers taking part in our exchange and mobility programmes. I very much hope that positive past experience will motivate Israel to build on the momentum of its participation. I truly believe that we all will gain from strong cooperation in the field of science and technology with all of our international partners.
