The European Innovation Partnerships

challenge-driven result-oriented

enhancing competitiveness tackling underinvestment and duplication; streamlining and

coordinating existing instruments and initiatives

coordinate investments in demonstration and pilots;

mobilise ‘demand’ for a quicker time-to-market of R&I breakthroughs

anticipate and fast-track regulation and standards;

widely inclusive - involving all key players

A representative High-level Steering Group, chaired by the lead Commissioner(s). Participants in their personal capacity:

- high level representatives of Member States (Ministers); - members of Parliament;- industry leaders, researchers and other key stakeholders

Strategic Implementation Plan (SIP): - A shared problem analysis of key barriers- A limited number of priority areas for action based on agreed

objectives- A set of operational and actionable recommendations (“early

wins”)

"Light"Governance

Strategic Implementation Plan - 3 PILLARS:

1. Prevention, screening and early diagnosis

2. Care & cure

3. Active ageing and independent living

The Pilot EIP “Active and Healthy Ageing”

Target by 2020:

2 extra healthy life years

EIPs' first achievements

EIP approach has brought together relevant public and private actors across the supply and the demand side and inter-related a critical mass of activities across the innovation cycle

Pilot EIP has established a shared vision and a focused framework for priority actions and has led to concrete stakeholder commitments 261 priority projects submitted by groups of stakeholders 54 regions and municipalities offered themselves as reference sites 100s of partners signed up to web-based platform for collaboration

Existing EU & national initiatives contribute to the aims of the EIPs opening opportunities to increase the impact by linking them to a

broader strategy

What's next?

• Some lessons learnt − need engagement of all relevant stakeholders early in the process − alignment without superseding existing programmes and initiatives− need effective and balanced governance arrangements

• Evaluation of the EIPs overall performance by end-2013

• Decision on next steps by end-2013− proposing new EIPs based on criteria of Innovation Union

• Horizon 2020 and EIPs− full account shall be taken of the research and innovation agendas established

by EIPs
