2 sommario La mid term review. ERA ed ERC negli atti recenti ( ) degli Organismi comunitari. Le novità degli ultimi programmi di lavoro dell ERC. La capacità attrattiva e la capacità innovativa dell Italia (le figure e i grafici con la sigla [ERC] derivano dalla documentazione ufficiale reperibile nel sito dell ERC)

3 La Mid Term Review dell ERC Towards a world class Frontier Research Organisation Review of the European Research Council s Structures and Mechanisms July 2009 the launching of the ERC, in spite of institutional and regulatory difficulties, constitutes a major improvement in relation to the existing funding structures in Europe. a new standard of excellence for Europe the panel is concerned about the long-term sustainability of the scheme under the present operating conditions The panel calls for putting in place a new set of rules based on trust and not suspicion and mistrust.

4 ERA ed ERC negli atti recenti degli Organismi comunitari La Commissione istituisce tre gruppi di esperti sui temi: The role of Community Research Policy in theknowledgebased Economy A knowledge intensive future for Europe (*) ERA indicators and monitoring. Ampio riconoscimento del ruolo innovativo dell ERC nei tre documenti. (*)... Member States should also pursue enhanced links and synergies between national research councils and ERC.

5 ERAB ed ERC First Report of the European Research Area Board - Preparing Europe for a New Renaissance - A Strategic View of the European Research Area the European Research Council points the way this is the ideal mechanism Nessun rappresentante dell ERC partecipa alla presentazione.

6 ERAB ed ERC Maggio: conferenza a Siviglia degli stakeholders ERA. Intervengono alcuni fruitori dei grant ERC ma nessun rappresentante istituzionale dell ERC. - Ottobre: Second Report of the European Research Area Board. ERAB is firm in its commitment to further support for the European Research Council which allows the bottom-up encouragement of new and high-risk projects. Ancora una volta intervengono dei fruitori dei grant ERC ma nessun rappresentante istituzionale dell ERC.

7 ERAB ed ERC Novembre: Council of the European Union. Conclusions on Innovation Union for Europe COMPETITIVENESS (Internal Market, Industry, Research and Space) The role of the European Research Council in promoting excellence should be strengthened.

8 ERAB ed ERC 2011 ERAB s contribution to the Common Strategic Framework consultation. Support high-risk, high-gain excellence frontier research (continue and increase ERC funding to this end). Extend ERC model to support Future Emerging Technologies (FET) for which there may not exist apparent market at first. The ERC with its original IPR and grant portability is an example that can be extended from supporting basic science to FET in all fields, not only ICT, without jeopardizing existing support for basic research.

9 ERAB ed ERC 2011 ERAB s contribution to the Common Strategic Framework consultation. (continua) Activities should be governed by Independent Agencies: one for the ERC acting under new financial regulations that allow for considerably more freedom of action (High risk/ High gain choices). it is recommended that the funding for the ERC should be increased such as to be doubled at the end of the CSF. However, ERAB recommends the ERC stick to its core business: funding high-risk excellence.

10 WP 2012 [ERC] Total budget 1,578m. New grant ERC+. Proof of Concept retained. StG now largest share of budget. Budget breakdown: StG 730m AdG 680m ERC+ 150m PoC 10m

11 WP 2012 [ERC] No domain 4 - cross panel proposals to be evaluated through regular panels. Two new studies (gender aspects in career paths and characteristics of ERC Host Institutions).

12 ERC + [ERC] Under the 2012 work programme a third type of grant will be available on a pilot basis for exceptional proposals. ERC+ Grants will enable small groups of Principal Investigators and their teams to bring together complementary skills, knowledge, and resources, in order to jointly address research problems at the frontier of knowledge going beyond what the individual Principal Investigators could achieve alone.

13 ERC + [ERC] 2 4 Principal Investigators (with one designated lead Principal Investigator). Upto 15m for upto six years. 150m budget.

14 PoC: Bridging the gap: from basic research to innovation [ERC]

15 PoC [ERC] Up to 150,000 per grant Total budget 10 million Eligibility: Holders of an ERC grant with an idea substantially drawn from an ERC-funded project

29 Conclusioni Debolezza del sistema sul piano dell innovazione. Le norme che rendono agevole la fruizione dei grant dell ERC (e degli altri soggetti che emergeranno dal CSF) dovrebbero immediatamente prevalere su quelle nazionali.

30 Conclusioni Il problema della scarsa capacità attrattiva dell Italia dovrebbe essere affrontato in modo complessivo: - ambienti di ricerca accoglienti e stimolanti, - visti e permessi di soggiorno, - fruibilità delle grandi apparecchiature, - aspetti sociali e previdenziali (Ch&C), - livelli retributivi dei PI e dei loro collaboratori, - prospettive di carriera, - accoglienza dei nuclei familiari, - premialità per le host institutions
