Istituto Esperto Nazionale Distaccato
♦ Cosa sono gli Esperti Nazionali Distaccati (END)?
scambio reciproco fra amministrazioni pubbliche degli Stati Membri e le Istituzioni dell’ Unione
Europea (UE).
Il distacco da un minimo di 6 mesi ad un massimo di 2 anni, rinnovabile fino a 4 (ora 6)
Durante il distacco, l’END resta alle dipendenze della propria amministrazione, che deve garantirne
la retribuzione economica, le prestazioni di sicurezza sociale e lo svolgimento della carriera
professionale, mentre la Commissione si fa carico dell’assicurazione per infortuni sul lavoro e
dell’indennità di soggiorno.
La selezione degli END è a discrezione delle singole Unità operative della Commissione Europea
che pubblicano periodicamente i relativi bandi aperti a tutti i 27 Stati membri con la descrizione delle
mansioni professionali e dei requisiti di competenze richiesti.
♦ La strategia del CNR per promuovere gli END
A partire dal 13 Gennaio 2012, il CNR ha istituito una Task Force END per:
• Promuovere e sostenere le candidature
• Creare una rete di collaborazione tra END rientrati in servizio, END distaccati e END in partenza
• Valorizzare la presenza dell’END all’interno delle Istituzioni Europee
• Utilizzare al meglio le competenze professionali acquisite dall’ END al rientro
• Lettera Presidente per promuovere e incrementare le candidature END dei ricercatori CNR (prot.
20700 del 26/03/2012)

implementation
JPI,
and EIP. of
a research and innovation programme or activities
• Through “ERA-Nets” for topping up individual calls/ actions (replacing current ERA-Net,
ERA-Net Plus, Inco-Net, Inno-net)
• Through participation in joint programmes between Member States (Art. 185)
• Only when criteria met, e.g. financial commitments of participating countries
• Supporting agendas of Joint Programming Initiatives when in line with Horizon 2020
Executive Agencies in H2020 implementation:
• Increased externalised management proposed
European Innovation Partnerships
• Not funding instruments, but for coordination with broader policies and programmes
“two-thirds of budget to be managed by externalised bodies”
Public-private partnerships in Horizon 2020
(Art.19 Commission Proposal)
Horizon 2020 may be implemented through public-private partnerships where all the
partners concerned commit to support the development and implementation of
research and innovation activities of strategic importance to the Union's
competitiveness and industrial leadership or to address specific societal
challenges:
–
financial contributions from the Union to JTU
–
financial contributions from the Union to new public-private partnerships
–
financial contributions from the Union to other funding
–
contractual agreement between the partners above
Criteria for identifying JTIs (art 187)
• the added value of action at Union level;
• the scale of impact on industrial competitiveness,
sustainable growth and socio-economic issues;
• the long-term commitment from all partners based on a
shared vision and clearly defined objectives;
• the scale of the resources involved and the ability to
leverage additional investments in research and
innovation;
• a clear definition of roles for each of the partners and
agreed key performance indicators over the period
chosen.
JTIs established under FP7
• First experience with setting up long-term public-private
partnerships in research at EU level
• Coordinate research efforts responding to industry needs
• Focus on fields of high industrial relevance, on key areas
where research could contribute to Europe's competitiveness'
goals
• Built on European Technology Platforms
• Implemented through new legal entities - Joint Undertakings

Joint Undertakings established as Community bodies under Article
171 of the EC Treaty (now Article 187 of the TFUE)
Existing JTIs with funding from FP7
Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI) – RTD
Aeronautics and Air Transport (CLEAN SKY)- RTD
Hydrogen and Fuel Cells (FCH) – RTD

Public-public partnerships in Horizon 2020
(Art.20 Commission Proposal)
1. Horizon 2020 shall contribute to the strengthening of public-public partnerships
where actions at regional, national or international level are jointly implemented
within the Union. Particular attention shall be paid to Joint Programming
Initiatives between Member States.
2. Public-public partnerships may be supported either within, or across, the
priorities set out in Article 5(2), in particular through:
(a) an ERA-NET instrument ….
(b) Union participation in programmes undertaken by several Member
States in accordance with Article 185 TFEU.
…
ERA-NET Horizon 2020
(Art.20 Commission Proposal)
Public-public partnerships may be supported either within, or across, the priorities set
out in Article 5(2), in particular through
(a) an ERA-NET instrument using grants to support public-public partnerships in
their preparation, establishment of networking structures, design,
implementation and coordination of joint activities as well as topping up of
individual joint calls and of actions of a transnational nature;
For the purposes of point (a), top-up funding shall be conditional on a significant
level of prior financial commitments of the participating entities to the joint calls
and actions. The ERA-NET instrument may include an objective to harmonise
rules and implementation modalities of the joint calls and actions. It may also
be used in order to prepare for an initiative pursuant to Article 185 TFEU.
Flexible use of the ERA-NET
1. Only call with top-up funding
As in the simplified ERA-NET Plus in FP7, Member States implement only the joint
call including call preparation, implementation and follow-up.
2. Call and additional activities
Member States implement a single call with Commission top-up funding and develop
other joint activities including calls without
top-up funding under their own responsibility.
3. Multiple calls in an variable geometry
Large initiatives with major strategic research agendas might propose a series of call
topics for which Commission top-up could be provided. Topics to be inserted in the
yearly Work Programme of a Challenge or in successive years of a given Challenge
and allow research funders to work in a variable geometry on selected topics.
Scenarios for ERA-NET implementation
1. Real costs for call funding and networking
2. Only output based (ERA-NET Plus FP7)
Reference for the EU contribution the total public funding (only eligible cost) of the
call that receives top-up funding,
3. Output based for the call & scale of unit for networking
Reference for the EU contribution the total public funding of the call that receives
top-up funding.
In addition a fixed amount per partner per year as a contribution to the costs of other
activities
Example: financing of the action
Implementation &
other activities: 5 Mio Euro
(outside grant agreement)
Call budget:
100 Mio Euro
(grant agreement)
Option 1:
67 Mio public funds and
5 Mio in kind or
operational budget
MS contribution:
72 Mio Euro
Total resources needed:
105 Mio Euro
Option 3:
any combination
EU contribution:
33 Mio Euro
Option 2:

funds
Participation and coordination in FP6 ERA-NETs
Joint Programming Process (Definition)
• Member States engaging
voluntarily and on a variable geometry basis
in the definition, development and implementation of common
strategic research agendas
based on a common vision on how to address major societal
challenges.
• It may involve collaboration between existing national programmes
or the setting up of entirely new ones.
• It entails putting resources together,
selecting or developing the most appropriate instrument(s), and
collectively monitoring and reviewing progress.

Joint Programming Process (Definition)
What Joint Programming is not

Not about asking for more money from the Framework
Programme



Not about asking for more power at EU level
Not a new instrument for Community research
Not involving Community funding a priori
Joint Programming (Why)
• Science and Technology must contribute to solving major
societal challenges
• Public Research Programmes have solved societal
challenges in the past … :



Urbanisation (First world conference of 1898 aborted)
Quality of Life (Green revolution stopped famine in India)
Quality of Health (Penicillin cured syphilis & osteomyelitis)
• … but there are benefits not optimised due to the
compartmentalisation of public research funding in the
European Union (27 + 1 Research Areas)


national research programmes have their place…
… but cannot tackle alone some major societal challenges

Art. 185 Horizon 2020
(Art.20 Commission Proposal)
Public-public partnerships may be supported either within, or across, the priorities set
out in Article 5(2), in particular through
(b) Union participation in programmes undertaken by several Member States in
accordance with Article 185 TFEU.
For the purposes of point (b) such initiatives shall only be proposed in cases where
there is a need for a dedicated implementation structure and where there is a
high level of commitment of the participating countries to integration at
scientific, management and financial levels.
Criteria for identifying 185 Initiatives
•
a clear definition of the objective to be pursued and its relevance to
the objectives of Horizon 2020 and broader Union policy objectives;
•
clear financial commitments of the participating countries, including
prior commitments to pool national and/or regional investments for
transnational research and innovation;
•
the added value of action at Union level;
•
the critical mass, with regard to the size and the number of
programmes involved, the similarity of activities and the share of
relevant research the cover;
•
the efficiency of Article 185 TFEU as the most appropriate means for
achieving the objectives.
5 existing Art. 185 initiatives (FP6 and FP7)
FP 6 EDCTP (EU & Developing countries Clinical Trials Partnership) in 2003:
EU contribution of 200 Mio. € matches MS contribution by 50%
FP 7 AAL (Ambient Assisted Living) in 2008:
EU contribution of 150 Mio. € matches MS contribution by 50%
FP 7 Eurostars (Research-intensive SMEs) in 2008:
EU contribution of 100 Mio. € is max. 25% of MS contribution
FP 7 EMRP (European Metrology Research Programme) in 2009:
EU contribution of 200 Mio. € matches MS contribution by 50%
FP 7 BONUS (Joint Baltic Sea R&D Programme) in 2010:
EU contribution of 50 Mio. € matches MS contribution by 50%
5 existing Art. 185 initiatives: approach for H2020
• All 5 will go for a new Art. 185 with expanded scope (programme, budget,
participating states) under H2020
• All 5 initiatives have to do an impact assessment for H2020
• Timing for adoption of proposals for successors of current initiatives:
- only after common position for H2020 is reached with Council
- before June 2014 election of EP
- in 2 waves - 1st: EDCTP, AAL, Eurostars, EMRP in 2014
- 2nd: BONUS towards second half of H2020
Potential new Art. 185 initiatives under Horizon 2020
In a 3rd wave:
- Geoscience
-
based on EuroGeoSurveys-Secretariat with national institutionalised research
programmes (similar to EMRP model)
- Euro-Mediterranean cooperation
-
with focus on a few societal challenges important for both the EU and Southern
Mediterranean region
- Certain Joint Programming Initiatives
- interest announced f. ex. by JPI on Neurodegenerative Diseases
