R&D Areas of Funding • • •

Broad range of R&D supported both by Member States and EC Apparent lack of nano R&D related to energy and environment No one EU country covers all aspects – need for cooperation!

Overall Nano Publications EU-25 ~ 40%

Analysis of 115 nano-relevent journals reported in „The Emergence of China as a Leading Nation in Science“ Ping Zhoua & Loet Leydesdorff (2005)

Specific Nano Publications •

• EU-25 ~ 30%

Analysis of three core nano journals reveals a different story with lower share Is this indicative of a lower impact of EU-25 publications or other aspects?

The European Landscape • • • • • •

Enjoys strong public R&D investment in nano mostly at national/regional level but.... While there is much knowledge generated in terms of publications the impact is less clear EU countries have very disparate ranges of R&D intensity and specalisations Overall lower level of private R&D investment and less intensive commercial activities (start-ups) Evidence that Europe is proportionately weaker in protecting knowledge via patents How can we help to maximise the impact and efficiency of European research?

International Cooperation • • • •

Building upon the experience in FP6, aim to boost cooperation between the EU and advanced Third Countries (e.g. USA, Japan) in basic research Pool knowledge on issues of global interest such as education, health, environment, metrology, norms – also ensuring a level playing field Define an international “code of good conduct” for the responsible development of nanotechnology – key point for consumer and investor confidence Provide access to knowledge to economically less developed countries to contribute towards the prevention of any “knowledge apartheid”
