11 INTERNATIONAL CO-OPERATION in FOOD QUALITY and SAFETY FP6 Thematic Priority 5 Results of first 2 Calls for proposals

12 Overview of 2 calls Third countries (mostly INCO) represents in average 2,5% to 6% of the total response. The average succes rate for third countries is from 14% to 30%. Participation in all instruments except CA. Highest participation and succes rate for SSAs, followed by STREPS and NI. INCO countries participate well in both new and traditioanl instruments but reported more sucess in SSAs, while industrialised third countries are more sucessful in IPs. ASEM (Asian countries) in Food safety and quality : Participation mainly in SSAs, IP and STREPs. Total number of 11 ASEM partners in 7 ranked proposals China is the country with higher participation and sucess rate. (5 partners in ranked proposals).

28 SSAs for INTERNATIONAL CO-OPERATION 3rd call examples Initiatives aimed at: stimulating the co-operation with countries having signed bilateral S&T co-operation operation agreements with the EU in the field of agri-food research and development (international workshops, brokerage events, platforms, fora, networks ) facilitating the participation of INCO target countries (via information dissemination, match-making, brokerage, networking, expert meetings etc) in food quality and safety research projects networking and training national contact points national contact points from INCO target countries for food quality and safety research

29 SSAs- International cooperation 4th call examples International platform on global challenges in biotechnology, agriculture and food research, including the addressing of emerging risks. Review of international research activities on the potential impact of global warming and climate instability on sustainable agriculture and the total food chain: research already carried out, scenarios and research needs. Global sustainability initiative on research and technology applications in the field of agriculture and biodiversity. Initiatives aimed at networking and training national contact points from INCO target countries for biotechnology, agriculture and food research Initiatives in the field of biotechnology, agriculture and food research, aimed at stimulating RTD cooperation with countries having signed bilateral S&T cooperation agreements with the EU.

30 International cooperation in 4TH call Where topics strongly encourage participation of INCO target countries, proposals must include at least one participant from INCO in addition to minimum participation required. The participation of at least one third/ INCO country is compulsory for SSAs addressing international cooperation. During evaluation particular attention will be given to projects ensuring a substantial participation of these countries (activities and budget).

39 Technology Platforms Rationale To contribute to competitiveness (Lisbon goal), boost research performance (ERA, 3% target) and concentrate efforts and address fragmentation Characteristics To address challenging social and economic issues, embodying major technological advances and high research intensity and requiring a European level approach to provide high Community added value Approach Gather a wide stakeholder base (industry, public authorities, research community, financial community, standardisation bodies, regulators, civil society, consumers / end-users) and mobilise private and public funding (on national, regional and Community level) and integrate education, training, communication, dissemination

40 Technology Platforms Central Concept Framework to unite stakeholders around: a common long-term vision for the technology concerned mobilisation of a critical mass of public and private research and innovation efforts definition of a Strategic Research Agenda and roadmap to realise the common vision A new instrument is proposed for FP7 to support ambitious, large-scale research projects through large public-private partnerships: Joint European Technology Initiative

41 Technology Platform on Plant Genomics &Biotechnology Plants for the future vision paper launched on 24th June 2004 by representatives of research, biotech and food industry, farmers, consumers and other stakeholders Produce better quality, healthy,, diverse foods Enhance agricultural and environment. sustainability Increase competitiveness of European agriculture Actors: EPSO, EUROPABIO Participants: wide range of stakeholders Home page:
