First concepts for FP8
Innovation is key, as Europe compared with other regions and countries needs to improve the translation of advanced technologies into new & competitive products & services. 3 pillars: Grand Challenges: Specific research activities to tackle them supporting innovation Enabling technologies development through research on horizontal technologies such as nanotechnology, information technologies, biotechnology, etc. European Research Area ERA by enhancing the related political measures, actions of the ERC, support to large-scale world-class research infrastructures and by an openness to global collaboration
