1 Theme 2 7 th EU Framework Programme for Research European Commission Research DG Name, Surname

2 TH Research Framework Programme was adopted December, 2006 THE 7 TH under the legislative co-decision procedure (Article 251) of the EC Treaty. It brings together, through the partnership of Council, Parliament and Commission, the interests of the European Union, its Member States and its citizens in a unique and tangible way to create the legislative basis for our common future.

Theme 2 KBBE R A T I O N A L E How life-sciences and biotech research could contribute to the

Knowledge-Based Bio-Economy (KBBE) where food and feed, and industrial goods such as fuels,

environmental friendly manner by incorporating life sciences and biotechnology innovations.

6 Theme 2 KBBE R A T I O N A L E How life-sciences and biotech research could contribute to the Lisbon objectives on economic growth, employment, sustainable development? Knowledge-Based Bio-Economy (KBBE) where food and feed, and industrial goods such as fuels, plastics, chemicals, lubricants, pharmaceuticals, are produced in a more sophisticated and environmental friendly manner by incorporating life sciences and biotechnology innovations. These new products as bio-fuels, green chemicals, bio-plastic industrial enzymes, biopharmaceuticals etc. are also referred to as eco-efficient bio-products

7 Theme 2 KBBE - O B J E C T I V E S Build a European Knowledge-Based Bio- Economy (KBBE) by bringing together all stakeholders to develop the basis for new eco-efficient and competitive biobased products Respond to social and economic challenges: High quality food and sustainable food production Food-related disorders (cardiovascular, obesity ) Infectious animal diseases and zoo-noses Sustainable agriculture/fishery and climate change Clean biomaterials from renewable bioresources Support other EU policies such as CAP, CFP, Forest Strategy, Animal Health, Environment, Energy, Development and Trade Policies Respond quickly to emerging research needs Support the coordination of National Research Programmes - ERA-NETS 4 Fs: Food, Fiber, Fuel and Feed

8 Theme 2 and Work Programmes The Commission within the Work Program defines the priorities for the calls for proposals to be launched each year. The priorities are faithful to the FP7 Framework Programme and Specific Programme decisions and in line with the main European research policy priorities. FP7 Theme 2 work-programs reflect the inputs received by: Advisory Group Programme Committee Standing Committee for Agricultural Research (SCAR) Advisory Committee for Fisheries and Aquaculture (ACFA) European Technology Platforms ERA-Nets European Food Safety Authority International Council for the Exploration of the Sea ICES European Fisheries & Aquaculture Research Organisations EFARO Experts..detailed consultations with main stakeholders

9 Theme 2: the 3 KBBE Activities KBBE - Activity 2.2 Fork to farm : Food (including sea-food), health and well being KBBE - Activity 2.1 Sustainable production and management of biological resources from land, forest and aquatic environments KBBE - Activity 2.3 Life sciences, biotechnology and biochemistry for sustainable non-food products and processes

environments Enabling research ( omics converging technologies, bio-informatics, biodiversity) for

fishery and aquaculture Animal health production and welfare; animal diseases (including zoo-noses)

10 FP7 KBBE - Activity 2.1 Sustainable production and management of biological resources from land, forest and aquatic environments Enabling research ( omics converging technologies, bio-informatics, biodiversity) for micro-organism, plants and animals Competitive, sustainable and multifunctional agriculture, forestry, fishery and aquaculture Animal health production and welfare; animal diseases (including zoo-noses) Marine resources, fishery, aquaculture Development of policy strategies for knowledge based bio-economy, agriculture, fishery as well as rural and coastal areas

11 FP7 KBBE - Activity 2.2 Fork to farm : Food (including sea-food), health and well being Consumer, societal, industrial and health aspects of food and feed Nutrition, diet related diseases and disorders Innovative food and feed processing Improved quality and safety of food, beverage and feed Total food chain concept

production, packaging or control of food or feed, etc); technology providers, engineering/software companies It is expected that

13 FP7 - KBBE & SMEs, which ones? The Research intensive SMEs: end-users of new technologies (breeding companies, SMEs or agricultural cooperatives involved in the production, packaging or control of food or feed, etc); technology providers, engineering/software companies It is expected that SMEs are involved in all relevant research projects that aim to support the competitiveness of European industries. technology-based biotechnology companies, green or white biotechnology.

14 FP7- KBBE & SMEs, why? Medium/long term vision: it is a 7 year programme Significative commitment: 285 Mio to be spent on SMEs research Strong support: up to 75% of total R&D costs for research and up to 100% for management and training Optimal protection: IPR rules particularly attentive to SMEs needs Facilitated burocracy: reduced need for financial checks and bank guarantees

15 FP7 - KBBE & Gender issues Participation of women Equal representation of women and men at all levels is encouraged. Gender aspects have a particular relevance to Theme 2 as risk factors, biological mechanisms, behaviour, causes, consequences, management and communication of diet related disease and disorders may differ in men and women. Applicants should systematically address whether, and in what sense, sex and gender are relevant in the objectives and in the methodology of projects.

FP7 - KBBE & Dissemination Within Theme 2, a number of topics specifically address knowledge transfer, consortia should propose appropriate measures to increase the use of results by industry, policy

16 FP7 - KBBE & Dissemination Within Theme 2, a number of topics specifically address knowledge transfer, consortia should propose appropriate measures to increase the use of results by industry, policy makers and society. Innovation-related aspects need to be clearly addressed and action plans should be presented. These should show the optimal use of project results and would be considered an integral task of each project.

17 FP7 - KBBE & Cultural aspects Civil Society Organizations, experts in ethics, law, economy and social sciences are encouraged to participate actively in research projects. Trans-disciplinary collaboration should ensure that due account is taken of the ethical and societal concerns.

18 FP7 - Funding schemes Collaborative Projects (CP): support for research projects carried out by consortia with participants from different countries, aimed at developing new knowledge, new technology, products, demonstration activities or common resources for research. Networks of Excellence (NOE): support for a joint program of activities implemented by a number of research organisations, integrating their activities in a given field, and carried out by research teams in the framework of longer-term cooperation. Coordination & Support Actions (CSA) - : support for activities aimed at coordinating or supporting research activities and policies, such as networking, exchanges, trans-national access to research infrastructures, studies, and conferences.
