Scrisoare deschisă
Oficiul MOST a semnat, de comun cu alte Oficii în domeniul educaţiei,cercetării şi inovării cu sediul în Bruxelles, o scrisoare deschisă adresată candidatului desemnat la funcţia de Preşedinte al Comisiei Europene şi deputaţilor aleşi în Parlamentul European, în care a fost reiterată importanţa educaţiei, cercetării şi inovării pentru dezvoltarea de mai departe a Uniunii Europene.
OPEN LETTER on the importance of education, research and innovation
The
EU has an exciting time ahead with newly elected MEPs, a new President of the
European Council as well as a new President of the European Commission.
Candidates for the latter position put forward by the political parties in the
European Parliament were and are debating the future of the EU to large
audiences however a vision on the future of the EU in the field of education,
research and innovation has remained absent in these debates. The IGLO[1]
offices signing this open letter would therefore like to draw the attention to
the importance of the knowledge triangle for boosting economic growth and jobs
in the Europe.
On 1 January 2014, the EU programmes
Horizon 2020 for research and innovation and the Erasmus+ programme for
education youth and sports formally started. After two years of tough negotiations
on the contents and the budgets, consensus was reached. The results indicated that
investment in the knowledge triangle got the highest attention of the EU. Not
only do these programmes show that education, research and innovation have an
important role to play, also EU policies such as the European Research Area and
Rethinking Education and Opening up Education demonstrate that cooperation and
sharing best practices can indeed bring about respectively more coordinated
national research systems and mobility of researchers, students and teachers.
IGLO would
like to point out that investment in education, research and innovation are a
key component in the toolbox for finding sustainable solutions not only to
the societal challenges but also to the economic issues Europe is facing. These investments create new turnover,
new permanent jobs and sustainable solutions to our big societal challenges. Without
new knowledge and innovations Europe is not going to find its role in the
changing global arena. Hence, Horizon 2020 and Erasmus+ must be better exposed
in the political agenda as education, research and innovation are fundamental
to Europe, to be one of the main actors in the changing global arena. Therefore,
research, innovation and education policies need to have strong leaders who can
bring the knowledge triangle dimension into the relevant European discussions
with proper weight.
We
therefore urge the newly (to be) elected representatives of the European
institutions to take the above mentioned duly into account because we believe
that the investments in research, innovation and education are essential
pre-requisites to secure growth and jobs in the future of the European Union.
[1] IGLO is an informal association of Brussels-based non-profit
R&D Liaison Offices. The aim of the network is to facilitate and enhance
the interaction, information exchange and cooperation between members of IGLO,
their national research systems and the European institutions on issues related
to EU R&D.(http://www.iglortd.org/)

Parteneriate UE-întreprinderi pentru încurajarea inovării: primul miliard de euro alocat proiectelor
Parteneriatele de cercetare dintre UE, sectorul privat și statele membre au prezentat astăzi primele lor cereri de proiecte și de parteneri în cadrul programului Orizont 2020, programul UE de cercetare și de inovare în valoare de 80 de miliarde de euro. Cu o sumă totală de 1,13 miliarde de euro din fonduri publice, la care se adaugă o sumă comparabilă din partea partenerilor privați, prima rundă de finanțare va fi dedicată unor proiecte având ca scop îmbunătățirea vieții oamenilor și stimularea competitivității internaționale a industriei europene. Aceste proiecte vor viza, printre altele, noi tratamente pentru diabet și pentru afecțiuni oculare, precum și darea în funcțiune a zeci de vehicule rutiere pe bază de hidrogen și de stații de realimentare cu combustibil.
José Manuel Barroso, președintele Comisiei Europene, a declarat: „Vom putea face față cu succes provocărilor uriașe cu care ne confruntăm doar dacă cele mai competente minți din mediul academic, din mediul industrial, din IMM-uri, din institutele de cercetare și din alte organizații lucrează împreună. Acesta este obiectivul parteneriatelor public-privat: să ne unim forțele pentru a îmbunătăți viața europenilor, pentru a crea locuri de muncă și pentru a stimula competitivitatea în UE. Angajamentul nostru este ca bugetul UE să se concentreze cu prioritate pe relansarea economică, iar parteneriatele merg în această direcție; primele cereri de propuneri însumează 1,1 miliarde de euro, la care se va adăuga o sumă similară din partea partenerilor privați, în cadrul unui pachet în valoare totală de 22 de miliarde de euro, destinat să contribuie la îmbunătățirea vieții oamenilor și la stimularea competitivității internaționale a industriei europene. Ele vor continua să producă rezultate pe care nicio țară, nicio întreprindere și nici chiar Uniunea Europeană însăși nu ar putea să le obțină singură.”
Lansarea primelor cereri are loc practic la aproape un an după ce Comisia Europeană a prezentat „Pachetul privind investițiile în inovare”, un set de propuneri vizând crearea a șapte parteneriate public-privat și a patru parteneriate public-public (a se vedea IP/13/668). Aceste parteneriate se vor derula în mai multe domenii-cheie, cum ar fi medicamentele, transportul, electronica și bioeconomia, și au o valoare totală de peste 22 de miliarde de euro. Propunerile au fost adoptate de Parlamentul European (a se vedeaSTATEMENT/14/128), precum și de Consiliul UE (a se vedea STATEMENT/14/149).
Directorii generali, directorii de exploatare și directorii tehnologici ai partenerilor privați s-au exprimat în numele celor șapte parteneriate: „Întreprinderile comune au demonstrat succesul modelului de parteneriat public-privat. Întreprinderile comune au obținut deja rezultate care contribuie la îmbunătățirea calității vieții oamenilor și a competitivității Europei. Suntem mândri să facem parte din aceste noi parteneriate din cadrul Orizont 2020 și ne bucurăm că s-au lansat la doar un an după ce au fost propuse de Comisie. Acum este timpul să trecem la acțiune și să producem și mai multe rezultate care vor contribui la creșterea economică, la crearea de locuri de muncă și la îmbunătățirea calității vieții.”
La evenimentul de lansare organizat astăzi la Bruxelles, partenerii privați au fost reprezentați de: Roch Doliveux, directorul general al UCB, Henri Winand, directorul general al Intelligent Energy, Jean-Paul Herteman, președintele și directorul general al grupului Safran, Peder Holk Nielsen, directorul general al Novozymes, Jean-Marc Chery, directorul de operațiuni al STMicroelectronics, Jochen Eickholt, directorul general al Divison Rail Systems, Siemens AG, Infrastructure & Cities Sector și Massimo Garbini, directorul general al ENAV.
Context
Cele șapte parteneriate public-privat lansate astăzi reprezintă o investiție totală de 19,5 miliarde de euro în cercetare și inovare, care se va întinde pe următorii șapte ani. Contribuția UE la acest buget, în valoare de 7,3 miliarde de euro, va permite deblocarea unor investiții de 12,2 miliarde de euro din partea sectorului privat și a statelor membre. Împreună cu alte patru parteneriate de tip public-public cu statele membre, ele formează „Pachetul privind investițiile în inovare”, reprezentând peste 22 de miliarde de euro, o investiție în viitorul Europei.
Aceste parteneriate se desfășoară într-o serie de domenii cheie:
- Inițiativa privind medicamentele inovatoare 2 (IMI2): pentru dezvoltarea generației următoare de vaccinuri, medicamente și tratamente, cum ar fi noi antibiotice (site de internet | fișă informativă);
- Pile de combustie și hidrogen 2 (FCH2): pentru a accelera introducerea pe piață a unor tehnologii nepoluante și eficiente în domeniul energiei și al transporturilor (site de internet | fișă informativă);
- Clean Sky 2 (CS2): pentru dezvoltarea unor aeronave mai ecologice, mai silențioase, cu emisii de CO2mult mai scăzute (site de internet | fișă informativă);
- Bioindustrii (BBI): pentru utilizarea resurselor naturale regenerabile și a tehnologiilor inovatoare pentru produse de uz cotidian mai ecologice (site de internet | fișă informativă);
- Componente și sisteme electronice pentru o poziție de lider a Europei (ECSEL): pentru a stimula capacitățile europene de fabricare a produselor electronice (site de internet | fișă informativă);
- Shift2Rail: pentru dezvoltarea unor trenuri și a unei infrastructuri feroviare mai eficiente, care să reducă drastic costurile și să amelioreze capacitatea, fiabilitatea și punctualitatea (site de internet | fișă informativă);
- SESAR 2020: pentru a dezvolta sistemul european de management al traficului aerian de nouă generație, care va îmbunătăți performanțele transportului aerian (site de internet | fișă informativă).
La cererile competitive lansate de aceste parteneriate pot participa companiile, IMM-urile, universitățile, organizațiile de cercetare și alte organizații. Cele mai bune proiecte vor fi selectate pentru finanțare în urma unei evaluări inter pares

Consultarea publică privind „Science 2.0”
Comisia Europeană a lansat, în data de 3 iulie, o consultare publică privind „Science 2.0”, cu scopul de a evalua tendința către un mod de cercetare și de inovare mai deschis, bazat pe date și axat pe cetățeni. Cercetătorii folosesc instrumente digitale pentru a implica mii de persoane în activitatea de cercetare, de exemplu, cerându-le să raporteze dacă s-au îmbolnăvit de gripă, pentru a putea monitoriza focarele de gripă și a face previziuni privind eventualele epidemii. Oamenii de știință sunt, de asemenea, mai deschiși: partajându-și rezultatele cercetării pe internet încă din etapele inițiale, ei își compară activitatea și poartă discuții pentru a o ameliora. Într-o măsură tot mai mare, publicațiile științifice sunt disponibile online în mod gratuit. După unele estimări, 90 % dintre toate datele disponibile în lume au fost generate în ultimii doi ani, iar producția de date științifice crește în fiecare an cu 30 %.
Consultarea va examina gradul de conștientizare și de participare la aceste tendințe și va colecta opinii cu privire la oportunitățile create de „Science 2.0” pentru a consolida competitivitatea sectorului european al științei și cercetării. Termenul-limită pentru trimiterea răspunsurilor este 30 septembrie 2014.
Máire Geoghegan-Quinn, comisarul european pentru cercetare, inovare și știință, a declarat: „Science 2.0 revoluționează concepția noastră despre știință – de la analiză și schimbul de date și publicații la cooperarea la nivel mondial. De asemenea, cetățenii au posibilitatea să participe la căutarea de noi cunoștințe. Întregul proces științific devine mai transparent și mai eficient, dar acest lucru dă în același timp naștere la preocupări legate deintegritate și calitate. Iată de ce am dori să aflăm care sunt opiniile cetățenilor despre modul în care putem garanta că „Science 2.0” se dezvoltă într-un mod pozitiv pentru Europa.”
Vicepreședintele Comisiei Europene, Neelie Kroes, responsabilă cu Agenda digitală, a declarat: „În prezent, tehnologia și instrumentele digitale ne oferă posibilitatea unor noi transformări, îmbunătățind calitatea cercetării și inovării și făcându-le mai utile pentru cetățeni și societate. Ne îndreptăm către o activitate științifică deschisă și digitală — o tendință graduală, dar de neoprit. Această tendință și dorința de a o pune în practică nu vin din partea politicienilor, ci din partea comunităților științifice și academice, iar eu sunt hotărâtă să-i acord întregul meu sprijin.”
Comisia Europeană a inclus deja unele aspecte legate de „Science 2.0” în politicile sale. În special, accesul deschis la publicațiile științifice este obligatoriu pentru cercetarea efectuată în cadrul programului Orizont 2020, noul program de cercetare și inovare al UE. De asemenea, a fost lansat un proiect-pilot privind datele de cercetare deschise. Prin intermediul programelor sale de cercetare, UE finanțează, de asemenea, un număr de proiecte științifice pentru cetățeni și sprijină o parte a infrastructurii electronice care stă la baza Science 2.0.
