Photo: Guy Ravitz Greetings from the Chief Scientist Israel's Ministry of Science, Culture and Sports Israel’s successful integration into the European Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development is a significant achievement for Israel. It advances science, but perhaps, just as important, it Mina Teicher promotes links between Israeli and European industry, technology transfer, and boosts the balance of payments and Israel’s status in the international arena. Israel joined the Fourth Framework Programme, and has been a partner to the Fifth and Sixth Programmes. Israel will continue its partnership in the Seventh Programme. Israeli universities are playing a growing role in European studies, and in the Seventh Programme this participation will probably be even greater, thanks to the establishment of the European Research Council (ERC), whose key goal is to promote basic research. Modern science exists in an international context that serves as an important and essential foundation for high standards of originality and relevance. Research projects on the frontier of science express binational and multinational cooperation and multi- and inter-disciplinary collaboration among scientists of diverse nations. Israel nurtures cooperation with overseas scientists as a matter of policy, and Israel’s participation in the Framework Programme is a central component of this policy. Participation in multinational European frameworks offers Israeli scientists access to large research facilities and involvement in major international scientific collaborations. Thus, Israel gains the opportunity to express positions on R&D policy issues and accrues recognition for the country's role at the forefront of scientific-technological progress. Israel's Ministry of Science, Culture and Sports is responsible for the advancement of fundamental R&D in Israel, and our participation in the Framework Programme aids in achieving this goal. The Programme cultivates basic R&D in fields from the environment and energy, food safety, space and the information society, and ensures cooperation among European research groups from different countries. Israel - as an associate member - derives the maximum benefit from participating in these projects. The Framework Programme places considerable emphasis on bringing science closer to the community. Israeli government ministries and research organizations participate in these endeavors. Among the highprofile activities was an evening for researchers, held in Israel on September 19, 2006. Events were held at eight research institutions and science museums open to the general public, presenting scientific research endeavors. The event was an overwhelming success and was part of a pan-European event. Israel recoups the investment in the Framework Programme through research grants to academia and industry, and via scientific and industrial collaborations. The result is shared research and foreign investments many times greater than the original Framework Programme participation fees. The ERC’s new program is also likely to attract more funding to basic research being conducted by Israeli scientists. Israel will continue to be an associate member in the Seventh Framework Programme, promoting continued strategic cooperation with Europe, for the benefit of one and all. Professor Mina Teicher Chief Scientist The Ministry of Science, Culture and Sports Photo: Lior Mizrahi Greetings from Israel's Council on Higher Education Our anticipation of the Seventh European Union Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development offers an opportune moment to review our accomplishments and Dr. Shlomo Grossman look forward to continued achievements. Our challenging start in the Fourth Programme gave us valuable experience, though we attained few research grants. There were improvement in the Fifth and Sixth Programmes. We applied our experience and potential to earning many more grants, whose monetary value exceeded the cost of our participation in both the Fifth and the Sixth Programmes. This measurable achievement represents only the tip of the iceberg with respect to the advantages of our involvement. Our exposure to new ideas and connections with industry, research institutions and leading European universities are among the other significant advantages of Israel’s participation in the program. For Israeli universities, the Framework Programme has become the second largest source of research budgets after the Israel Science Foundation. Thanks to the program, Israeli and European researchers are advancing more shared scientific publications, almost equal in number to collaborations with American researchers. Recently, a Framework Programme has enabled Israeli universities to bring home young and promising Israeli scientists working abroad (mainly in the United States) and they are being welcomed to the ranks of senior academic staff. In the Sixth Framework Programme, Israel led all other participants in bringing home scientists under the auspices of the Marie Curie Actions program for absorbing returning scientists. We anticipate continued success in the Seventh Programme, especially in light of the establishment of the European Research Council. Allow me to wish Mr. Marcel Shaton and the entire staff of the Israel Europe Research and Development Directorate continued achievement and satisfaction. I would also like to express appreciation to the Framework Programme’s steering committee, headed by Dr. Eli Ofer, the chief scientist at the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor. May they continue their wise leadership in this extraordinary program. Professor Shlomo Grossman Chair, Planning and Budgeting Committee
