- development <strong>of</strong> principles and objectives for promoting European industry interest in involvement in public/private international cooperation initiatives; - assessment <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> desirability, potential mechanisms and effective incentives to promote industrial involvement in EU-MS joint initiatives for international STI cooperation; This action should involve consultation with industrial groupings and individual companies, possibly through <strong>the</strong> organisation (by <strong>the</strong> Commission Services) <strong>of</strong> a specific consultation event focused on selected technology platforms. 3.3.5 Additional topics The <strong>Expert</strong> <strong>Group</strong> Chairperson will also be free to propose additional or alternative topics for <strong>the</strong> group to study/provide advice on subject to <strong>the</strong> agreement <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Commission representative(s). 74
Annex 2: Dimensions <strong>of</strong> strategic priority setting Emerging fields/global challenges (mix <strong>of</strong> top-down and bottom-up) Primary research in emergence <strong>of</strong> new fields and/or paradigm shifts in existing fields and significant impact on <strong>the</strong> frontiers <strong>of</strong> STI, and in education. Short-term 1-2 years Medium term 2-5 years Long-term 5-15 years • Focus on basic research • Capacity building and infrastructure • Investments in multi-user research facilities • Primary participants: S&T organisations universities, PROs • Outputs: publications, patents • No geographic limitations Global challenges are primarily research intensive in nature. STI to address global challenges is largely embedded in international research efforts, which are mainly driven by nation states. Infrastructural challenges Capacity building and retention (primarily topdown) Horizontal actions (primarily topdown) Challenge driven research is less attractive for firms, especially where <strong>the</strong> intention is to generate public goods. Key actors from <strong>the</strong> private sector will only invest resources and take risks <strong>of</strong> project failure if <strong>the</strong>y can expect a reasonable return in <strong>the</strong> case <strong>of</strong> success. On <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r hand, swift diffusion <strong>of</strong> new products and processes is crucial to have a significant impact on global challenges. Diffusion may be hampered if prices for innovations are too high and <strong>the</strong>re are no funding mechanisms to make <strong>the</strong>m broadly available. Leadership in <strong>the</strong>se sectors is yet to be determined, because it is still nascent, and limited to long term basic-research. Focus is on reducing brain-drain from Europe, <strong>of</strong> scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs by making available opportunities and conditions for researchers and scientists and entrepreneurs to return to EU after training abroad Retention <strong>of</strong> non-EU citizens with advanced degrees from European institutions ERA and MS policies to be supplemented by EU policies EU to work with counterpart funding agencies in o<strong>the</strong>r countries to lower barriers to collaboration for scientists, engineers, and students, and encourage jointly funded, and multilateral projects, and address IPR issues 75
