1 Mission Oriented R&I Policies' Regional perspective ERRIN 15 November 2017 Robbert Fisher

2 Overview Intro: Mission Orientation: studies DG RTD Current status Regional perspectives: Role regional policies Upstream alignment MOP Downstream alignment MOP

3 Mission Oriented Policies Why? Assumption: more effective approach to Grand or Societal Challenges: GC s are complex, systemic, cross sector, cross border, cross policy domain (interconnected) and have a certain degree of urgency GC s require directional policies Potential policy objectives: Increase impact Facilitate transformative and systemic innovation Mobilise all actors towards commonly agreed objectives Improve the effectiveness of communication wit society at large

4 Disclaimer What follows is work in progress No definitive developments yet Objective to stimulate the discussion and collect valuable feedback

5 How to develop and implement Two studies issued by DG RTD: MOP 1: conceptualisation, definition of MO policies and lessons learned MOP 2: how to implement MO policies in FP 9 - > framework for the ex ante Impact Assessment NOT to define missions themselves JIIP partners (TNO, VTT, Tecnalia, Joanneum Research), DTI and VVA

6 Conceptualisation preparation Definition of MOP Analytical framework Mapping Quick scan (200+ initiatives have been identified globally) Global mapping In depth analysis of selected MOP Case studies Selection of historic cases In depth analysis Final report Final definition lessons learned recommendations

7 Impact assessment Baseline scenario H2020 Selection of instruments across domains Analysis along key elements of MOP Case studies Literature review (impact measurements of MOP) Case selection In depth analysis IA framework Policy objectives Development policy options Assessment: stress test Final report IA Framework Recommendations

8 Work definition Mission-oriented research and innovation initiatives are defined as consisting of initiatives that are aimed at clearly defined approaches to societal and industrial challenges. Directionality and intentionality differentiate these initiatives from other R&I initiatives. They are deliberate attempts (by policymakers at different levels or private organisations) to achieve well-defined objectives by mobilising in an organised manner various resources, actors and tools within a certain timeframe.

9 Work definition Key elements: A clearly defined solution as a goal Narrow or broad definition (depending on the objective): Narrow goals, to accelerate a certain development Broad goals: to transform systems Large scale Cross cutting (cross sector, cross domain, cross stakeholder) Mix of policy elements

10 Two types of Missions Accelerators Transformers Landscape changes - Develop technologies - Enablers - Radical innovation - Few actors - centralised - One buyer and user (military) - Global competition - First mover advantage - Advanced consumers - EU competitive advantage System innovation - Transform a system - Systemic use of all instruments Creative destruction Develop, Deploy, Diffuse Several technologies Many Actors -decentralised Several buyers (civil) Tech Niches, New firms and value chains New paradigm

11 Instruments partnerships synergies Possible Operationalisation Implementation Mission R&I Mission Thematic/topical level Broad mission definition Other policy domains Regulatory, infrastructure, domain policies, incentives..

12 Challenges Granularity of the mission, timeline, required scale Interrelation upward and downward of the mission with other levels of policy (objectives/missions) and implementation Governance: mission owner, empowerment, management Top down <-> bottom up: in definition and implementation: Roles and involvement of all stakeholders including citizens Risk versus attractiveness: sufficiently challenging but sufficiently feasible as well Alignment: multi level (EU, MS, regions, cities) and multi policy domain

13 Potential pitfalls Good slogan first, definition after Unclarity of the direction of the mission orientation Developing sector missions Defining too narrow missions Missions are NOT: TGV, Apollo, etc BUT: Connection of the two main largest cities in France within 2 hours travel Putting a man on the moon and bring him back

14 Current status MOP 1 Finished: Definition and concepts Mapping 200+ initiatives globally Detailed mapping 50+ intiatives Selection of case studies Pilots cases (War on cancer US, and AAL) ongoing Remaining cases To be done: conclusions and recommendations Deadline end January 2018

15 Mapping overview

16 Current status MOP 2 Finished: Baseline scenario: H2020, selection instruments Literature review Case selection (ongoing initiatives) Pilots cases (War on cancer US, and AAL) Impact assessment framework Policy objectives and Policy options Survey and interview questionnaire ongoing Cases, Survey and interviews To be done: stress test, IA framework, conclusions and recommendations Deadline end January 2018

17 Current Policy Objectives status Concentration of R&I investment into the mission areas Increase the probability of breakthrough research and innovation in the mission areas Link missions closely to policy and regulatory non-r&i action (to facilitate systemic change) Facilitate the emergence of best solutions and maximise the expected impact/s of projects by a flexible, purpose-driven choice of funding and non-financial tools; foster a bottom up approach in implementation (choice of instruments and approach) Place more emphasis on cross-sectoral and cross-disciplinary R&I to support missions effectively Ensure uptake, strengthen the demand side s level of involvement and support Improve communication of the goals and impacts of European research to society Engage citizens in shaping missions and R&I policy

18 Current Policy Options status Business as usual Transformer

19 Current Impacts status and assessment Effectiveness and efficiency EU added value Economic, societal, environmental, innovation, competitiveness Assessment Definition process, stakeholder involvement Governance structure (mission ownership) Contribution to policy objectives Implementation mechanisms

20 Current Key aspects status from regional perspective Role of the regions: Definition Implementation Governance Regional role in context of EU, national and urban roles? Upstream (regions -> EU mission S3?) Downstream (EU mission -> regions : pilots, high TRL implementation, deployment) How to deal with disparity?

21 Electro mobility plan Adopted by the Ministry of Energy The Plan was released in Objectives to be achieved by 2025 Part of the Responsible Development Plan Mission statement: Better quality of life Lower air pollution Reduction of noise pollution Accessibility and comfort of public transport Other mission is to develop a domestic electric vehicle industry (not to be dependent on imports) Goals include: One million electric cars on Polish roads by 2025 Manufacturing of electric buses by 2025 Total government allocation: EUR 4.4 billion (PLN 19 billion)

22 Electro mobility plan To achieve these objectives, a set of instruments are needed to develop a supporting industry, enhance demand for electric vehicles, modernise infrastructures including power grid, and improve science-industry collaboration One of these instruments is the ElectroMobility Poland SA initiative established by four energy companies (PGE, Enea, Energa and Tauron) with the participation of the Ministry of Energy Organisation of a contest to identify concepts for electric vehicles of the future (and to bring them to the prototype phase). The contest award amounts to PLN (EUR )
