  3. Lisbon strategy (March 2000) European Research Area (2000, Commissioner Busquin) Vision: make the EU the most developed knowledge-based society by 2010, and preserve/modernise the social welfare model and reduce environmental damage. S&Thave priority (Barcelona, March 2002 investment should approach 3% of GDP) Assets: traditions,scientists,intellectual potential Hungary wants to harmonize national interests and priorities withEuropean vision and interests but also wants to cooperate with the US, Japan, China, India etc.

  10. Publication activity and performance of HAS institutes vs world average 2001-2005

  11. International cooperation • Bilateral relations • 79 scientific agreements (with academies and other partner organisations) in 52 countries • Exchange programmes (year 2005) • outbound: 708 research visitors; • total: 9250 days • inbound: 744 senior researcher visitors + 156 working visits; total 8143 days

  12. International cooperation (2) Membership: in about 120 international organisations, e.g. • UNESCO, • International Council of Scientific Unions, • International Atomic Energy Agency, • InterAcademy Panel, • European Science Fund, • Academia Europea, etc. • Partnership in research programmes of international organisations (European Union, NATO etc.)

  13. Hungarian participation in EU research Full participation with „entry ticket” International Cooperation + all scientific activities except mobilitiy Budget of Framework Programme (Billion €) 1992 , 1993, 1994 dedicated actions for Central and Eastern Europe „PECO” EU Membership 2004 FP1 FP2 FP3 FP4 FP5 FP6

  14. HAS in FP5 – a success story 6 Centres of Excellence

  15. Hungarian success rates in FP5(Retained/un-funded)

  16. EESD = Environment, Energy, Sustainable Development

  17. Framework programmes in Europe ~ 4% of EU budget ~ 6 % of overall civil expenditure of EU ~ 25 % of „free” project money

  18. Framework Programme 7: key areas

  19. NATO – Science for Peace (SfP) Support for applied research and development projects in Partner countries, with the advice and assistance of colleagues from NATO countries. Since 1999 - about 120 projects are supported in first phase Hungary is involved in 14 projects. Overall award for these projects: € 3,6 M Funding for the Hungarian partners: € 1,8 M HAS is involved in 8 projects out of 14 with 10 project participations Funding for Hungarian partners in these projects: € 1,14 M

  20. Examples of SfP projects with HAS researchers • Magnetic Nanocomposites for Transformer Cores and Magnetic Refrigeration • Laser-Based Clean Technologies for Smart Sensor Fabrication • High Beam Quality UV Lasers for Microelectronics • Li-ion Rechargeable Microbatteries Integrable on Low Power ICs • Ceramic Substrate with Controlled Piezoelectric Properties for Surface Acoustic Wave Applications • Opto-electronic Devices Based on the Protein Bacteriorhodopsin • Carbon Based Energy Storage

  21. NATO Science Fellowships

  22. NATO Collaborative Linkage Grants 1999 – 2002 Total number of research teams supported with Hungarian participation = 112 (6 % of grants awarded, all countries) Projects with HAS research teams supported = 26 ( 23% of Hungarian participation) Total amount awarded to research teams containing Hungarians = € 2.2 M (7% of grants awarded, all countries) Amount awarded to research teams containing HAS researchers= € 0.38 M (17% of all Hungarian grants)
