Why specifically Sweden, the Netherlands and the UK?<br><br>Is there any correlating factor that may tell us we face one single problem?<br><br><br>Antonio<br><br><br><div><div id="SkyDrivePlaceholder"></div>> Date: Fri, 27 Jul 2012 21:12:46 +0300<br>> From: teirdes@gmail.com<br>> To: pp.international.general@lists.pirateweb.net<br>> Subject: [pp.int.general] research funding<br>> <br>> Politically, the most interesting issue to deal with at this time at a <br>> European level is how to deal with public-private partnerships (PPPs) <br>> and joint undertakings (JUs). Which financial instruments do we use to <br>> incentivise particular kinds of development and through which agents? <br>> How do we make goal formulation?<br>> <br>> It's been one of the bigger discussions around the Horizon 2020 package <br>> (EU research funding budget, framework program 8) and will continue to <br>> be an evolving debate in the coming six months.<br>> <br>> The line that I have been pushing in Brussels together with my <br>> colleague, Christian Engström, is the need to adapt particularly results <br>> management to different industry sectors in cases of PPPs, the need for <br>> an open access by default policy in the fields of research results, <br>> analysis and data, and an increased need for transparency and <br>> accountability in the funding calls for especially projects co-financed <br>> by the private sector.<br>> <br>> Also, with private educational facilities playing an increasingly <br>> important role in many MS frameworks, it is reasonable to not limit a <br>> public-private partnership to collaborations between public institutions <br>> and private sectors, but, say, public entities.<br>> <br>> We also call for a separation between funds going into SMEs (COSME) and <br>> fundamental research (Horizon 2020), so as to not create the illusion of <br>> the Union spending money on research when in fact we're using the money <br>> for marketization support to small market players. Unfortunately member <br>> states have been very unwilling to listen to these calls, and therefore <br>> support actions at a MS level would be highly appreciated. Especially in <br>> Sweden, the Netherlands and the UK.<br>> <br>> best regards,<br>> <br>> Amelia Andersdotter<br>> <br>> Pe 27.07.2012 20:38, Jack Allnutt et al au scris:<br>> <br>> research funding<br>> ____________________________________________________<br>> Pirate Parties International - General Talk<br>> pp.international.general@lists.pirateweb.net<br>> http://lists.pirateweb.net/mailman/listinfo/pp.international.general<br></div> </div></body>
