Economic and financial crisis
EU lost six million jobs, €1000 Bn annual GDP due to crisis
Invest in future growthEU target of 3% of GDP for R&D in 2020 could create a net 3.7 million jobs and close to €800 Bn annual GDP by 2025
Make the most of available resources through leverage effects, integration and cooperation
”(..)the evident need to align research activities more closely with the resolution of major societal challenges(..)
”no single member state can solve these challenges alone”
”Societal challenges dimension adds a new objective to public policy whereby research and innovation are not seen as a ends in themselves but as a means to a wider goal, defined as a social benefit.”
Expert Group chaired by Prof Luc Soete 2010

Innovation Union: Highlights
European Innovation Partnerships
• Issues Major societal challenges Many actions, uncoordinated
- R&D programmes / demand-side actions
- EU / national / regional (and global)
• To address these issues,
European Innovation Partnerships will be: Not a new instrument alongside the others; but Frameworks bringing together main actors, policies and
actions at EU and national levels, from research to market, around common objectives and targets

Aim: two additional healthy life years by 2020– Council, Parliament to discuss the concept– Member States and stakeholders invited to join
2011– Others to follow pending discussions and building
on pilot experience– Topics considered: smart cities, water, raw
materials, mobility, agriculture,
Making it happen!A priority for EU Institutions
– European Council dedicated discussion in December– Council invited to meet as “Innovation Council”– European Parliament discussions– Innovation Group of Commissioners
Accelerating national reforms– Self assessments of R&I systems under Europe 2020
Tracking progress– EU target of 3% of GDP on R&D and national targets– New indicator on fast-growing innovative firms– New Scoreboard of 25 indicators
