Why research at <strong>European</strong> level?• Pooling and leveraging resourcesResources are pooled to achieve critical massLeverage effect on private investmentsInteroperability and complementarity <strong>of</strong> big science• Fostering human capacity and excellence in S&TStimulate training, mobility and career development <strong>of</strong> researchersImprove S&T capabilitiesStimulate competition in research• Better integration <strong>of</strong> <strong>European</strong> R&DCreate scientific base <strong>for</strong> pan-<strong>European</strong> policy challengesEncourage coordination <strong>of</strong> national policiesEffective comparative research at EU-levelEfficient dissemination <strong>of</strong> research resultsFP7 /5EUROPEAN COMMISSION - Research DG - October 2006
FPs: strong impact on <strong>the</strong> integration<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> ERA• Concentration <strong>of</strong> research ef<strong>for</strong>ts through larger projects withcritical mass Average number <strong>of</strong> participants per project:4.7 (FP2) 14 (FP6) Average EU funding per project:€1.2 million (FP2) €4.6 million (FP6)• Top-level scientists: e.g. six Nobel prize-winners involved inFP6 fundamental genomics projects• ERA more attractive to researchers worldwide.
