2 Research capacities in Europe FP5 FP6 Research topics Organisation of research

3 Poland France Germany Sweden Finland Romania United Kingdom Italy Turkey Slovak Rep. Czhech Rep. Bulgaria Switzerland Spain Netherlands Austria Hungary Norway Croatia Belgium Denmark Portugal Slovenia Greece Albania Ireland Israel Iceland Cyprus The number of researchers in forestry in European countries in

4 The share of researchers in forestry of the total amount of researchers (% ) in % 2% 1.5% 1% 0.5% 0% Finland Sweden Austria Portugal Norway Greece Denmark Ireland Switzerland Spain Belgium Iceland Netherlands France Italy United Kingdom Germany

5 Today: Main features of forest related research organisations in Europe Biophysical and socio-economic research on forests: substantial but fragmented Public organizations are by far predominant with some exceptions for pulp and paper research Wood research, more limited in size and fragmented Pulp and paper res. well structured (4 major institutions) Lack of cross-sectoral or cluster approach

6 Recent developments: FFRI, Finland, SLU, Sweden: No substantial changes in research capacity INRA, France: 20 % increase in forest research funding and staff FRI, Poland: total staff cut 75%, scientists cut 45% Share of scientists of total staff increasing in all countries

7 Recent developments: Merging Forestry Faculties to Natural Resources/ Land use (Germany, Switzerland) Merging Research Institute and University (Denmark) Merging Research Institutes (Germany)

8 Funding sources 270 Mio EURO - 61 institutes 23 % national public 6 % external: EU external: other 71 %

9 Funding of some largest forest research institutions national public EU other

10 Community support in FP5 ( ) Subject areas Number of projects EC-contr. [Mill. ] Forest management / biodiversity / pathology/ carbon research QoL EESD INCO Pulp, paper & wood Quality-of-Life programme (QoL) Energy, Environment and Sustainable Development programme (EESD) Competitive and Sustainable Growth programme (GROWTH) International co-operation programme (INCO)

11 Quality of life and Management of Living Resources Science, research and development European Commission Expert Review of the 63 FP5 projects ( Nov. 2003) Overall Remarks Good coverage of relevant economic species (broadleaf and conifer species); Individual projects scattered in different Programmes and Calls prevented "clustering and critical mass creation; Applications from the projects should be transferred to all potential end-users (databases, websites, training). Continuity of collected databases - calls for longer-term networking?

12 Instruments of cooperation and networking COST In 1993: 1-2 actions in forestry/forest industry In 2002: 22 actions equiv.scientists (forest, wood, pulp & paper) EFI Established in : 142 member organisations

13 EFI members network Members outside Europe Australia Canada Japan United States EFI has 142 members in 38 countries

14 Project Centers and their networks Vienna Austria Freiburg, Germany Copenhagen, Denmark St. Petersburg, Russia Bordeaux, France Solsona, Spain

15 6. FRAMEWORK PROGRAMME : THREE-PILLAR STRUCTURE Integrating European research: Seven thematic priorities ( bn Euro) Structuring ERA: Innovation Human resources ( 3.05 bn) Strengthening the foundations of ERA: Coordinaton of activities ( 0.45 bn)

16 Integrating European research Mainly through Networks of Excellence integration of existing research capacities Europe More lobbying needed? Integrated Projects mobilising a critical mass of resources to attain clearly defined objectives EFORWOOD for 3rd call

17 Integrating European research ERA-NET Mainly through... supporting coordination of existing national or regional research programmes FP6:WOODWISDOM-NET builds on national research programmes in wood research (FI, DK, DE, NO, SE). Other states may join. EC funding: 2.2 million

18 Integrating European research Mainly through... Technological Platforms Industry-driven think tanks for research coordination -> FP initiatives, including European Paper and Wood Industries by CEPI,CEI-Bois and CEPF

19 Community support in FP5 ( ) Subject areas Number of projects EC-contr. FP6: [Mill. ] Forest management / biodiversity / pathology/ carbon research QoL 29 46,47 EESD dramatically 22 reduced INCO EC Funding for forest research From FP5 15 Mio/year to 5? Pulp, paper & wood Quality-of-Life programme (QoL) Energy, Environment and Sustainable Development programme (EESD) Competitive and Sustainable Growth programme (GROWTH) International co-operation programme (INCO)

20 Forestry/wood sector participation in FP6 (spring 2004) General remarks by DG Research: - there are opportunities for the forestry/wood sector, but they are not always fully exploited; (possible reason: large size of instruments, opportunities scattered) - proposals do not always respond clearly to the work programme and/or task description.

21 Science-Policy interface Global and European Policy Processes UNCED 1992, IPF/IFF UNFF 1995 CBD, UNFCCC, 1992 MCPFE, 1990 Identifies policy issues Builds consensus Catalyses research Scientific Community CIFOR, EFI, IIASA, IPGRI, IUFRO, UNU etc. National research institutions Improves knowledge base for decisionmaking Focuses research on relevant topics Raises awareness

22 Multi-stakeholder Dialogue at Vienna Living Forest Summit Group Statement by Scientific Community

23 An International Conference in autumn to bring together research and policy-makers TOPICS linked to MCPFE: Enhancing economic viability of SFM Social sustainability of forest sector Cross-sectoral issues related to biodiversity

24 POOLING RESOURCES approach (1+1+1 = 4) FRI Restructuring the use of existing resources for better cost-effectiveness FRI FRI Thematic networks led by one FRI Themes relevant for policy issues

25 Why POOLING RESOURCES approach? FRI sharing data, equipment and expertise benefits all FRI FRI It is EU Research policy Future Orientation Own funding EC funding

26 Next 10 years: To do right things: Link between policy making and research to be strengthened To do things right: Integration of research capacities necessary to be cost-effective
