Expert Group Report: Next Generation Grid(s) European Grids Research 2005-2010 • Long term visions that cannot be realised based on existing or near term Grid technologies • Areas of research that need to be addressed in the medium to long term Implementing the visions will enable Europe to become a strong competitive player in Grid technology and its applications.

European research policy context • European Research Area (Lisbon Summit, March 2000) IST-FP6 to boost the emergence of ERA! Grids: a main strategic objective! • R&D investments from 1.9% up to 3% of GDP by 2010 (Barcelona Council, March 2002) UK/FR Grid Workshop 3-4 November 2003, London Wolfgang Boch - European Commission - DG INFSO-F2 14

Investment in R&D, 3% action plan (DG RTD) • Council resolution adopted on 22/09/2003 • Making Europe a more attractive place for R&D investment requires a determined and sustained efforts of public and private sectors… • Improving framework conditions for private investment in research – IPRs, Regulation of products and standardisation, Competition rules, Financial markets, Fiscal environment, Corporate research strategy & financial reporting • Progressing jointly – OMC, ETP, mutual learning for regions... • Improving public support to research and innovation – HR, link public /private R&D, enhance public financing instruments (direct measures, fiscal measures, guarantee…) • Redirecting public spending towards research and innovation – Modernise State aid rules, Use better public procurement to support research and innovation... UK/FR Grid Workshop 3-4 November 2003, London Wolfgang Boch - European Commission - DG INFSO-F2 15

European Research Area: opportunities & challenges • Realising ERA requires ….. – Focusing on strategic research topics – Cooperation, concentration, critical mass & flexibility • FP6 provides a key opportunity to shape and improve the impact of research in Europe – Europe is well positioned to shape the future and compete – Coordination of public and private R&D funding • Efforts are needed ..... – to mobilise the constituency – to establish priorities within a long term vision European Technology Platform for Grid Research UK/FR Grid Workshop 3-4 November 2003, London Wolfgang Boch - European Commission - DG INFSO-F2 16

What is a European Technology Platform? • Strong mobilisation of actors fostering effective public- private partnerships – between research, industry and regulatory and finance stakeholders, public and private bodies – for sharing an European long-term vision on high impact sectors or leading technologies • Primary output – European Strategic Research Agenda for the next decade(s) – Recommendations for its implementation (strategy & action plan) • Final goal to achieve EU industrial leadership and meet society’s needs through optimisation of the benefits for all parties • ETP can lead to a new form of governance UK/FR Grid Workshop 3-4 November 2003, London Wolfgang Boch - European Commission - DG INFSO-F2 17
