"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, research and development are a crucial prerequisite for our prosperity, since we in Europe now have to live off producing knowledge and ideas. The Framework Programme for Research is therefore an important tool for enabling the EU to cope successfully with international competition in the future. No EU country can by itself mobilise the critical mass needed for competing with China or the United States but, together, the EU countries can mobilise the resources for entering into competition with them.

We are thus adapting research to what is actually happening globally. I hope that this prioritisation will also be reflected in the number of international projects.
Europe’s peripheral areas are currently undergoing depopulation, and it is imperative for us to maintain research in the outermost regions by creating attractive working conditions for researchers. I am therefore pleased, too, that it is now possible to coordinate efforts made under the Seventh Framework Programme and in the context of the Regional Fund. This makes it possible to build regional partnerships between research institutions, the public authorities and enterprises, so giving a powerful shot in the arm to regional development.
The time is past when researchers could sit in their ivory towers. It is more important than ever before that the dissemination aspect be integrated into research. If society is to reap as many of the benefits of European research as possible, we must ensure that the results of research make a difference to individuals, authorities and trade and industry. High-quality research dissemination helps people see society’s investment in research as something legitimate.
Energy research has become a thematic priority of its own within ‘cooperation’. There is a great need for research in energy technologies, which can help Europe achieve its objectives in terms of energy policy within ..."@en1
