JOINT PROGRAMMING TWO YEARS ON: FIRST RESULTS AND THE WAY FORWARD - Organisation of a Conference on Joint Programming under Belgian Presidency (BE2010-CONFERENCE_JP)

Framework: FP7 — Cooperation
Programme: General Activities
Destination: ERANET
Action type: Coordination and support actions
Partnership: BE2010-CONFERENCE_JP (ERA-NET)
Countries involved: Belgium,Belgium
Call:  (FP7-ERANET-2010-RTD, 2010)
Start date: 2010-04-01
End date: 2011-02-28

The context and purpose of the Conference are relevant to the topics addressed by the call for the three following reasons. First, the conference’s starting point is in line with the Competitiveness Council conclusions concerning Joint Programming, mentioned in the work programme as rationale of the topic “Actions in support of the European Union's initiative on Joint Programming in Research”. Then, the conference aims at analysing success and problems encountered by the first four JPIs that will be in progress at the end of 2010. And last, the scope of the topic is “Exploring, supporting and analyzing the “Framework Conditions” considered necessary for an effective implementation of Joint Programming”. Five workshops focused on these framework conditions will be organised during the Conference. The objectives of the conference are: - to clarify the notion of Joint Programming: despite GPC’s activities and conferences and communications from numerous actors on the topic, joint programming is a recent concept. Misconceptions remain today regarding the concept itself and regarding the role of various actors. Some degree of confusion exists especially between joint programming and other JPIs (ERA-NET, Art. 169, SET Plan); - to make a first evaluation or appraisal over active JPIs to this day; - to make a state of play regarding the implementation of the first initiatives and the way the different instruments have been mobilized (national, regional, and inter-governmental programmes, ERA-NET…) and also regarding the progress on the development of the Framework Conditions; - to contribute to the GPC report: the conclusions of the conference will be used to feed the report that GPC must present to the competitiveness Council in December 2010, and to formulate concrete recommendations for the development of the joint programming approach and to facilitate the implementation of JPI.

GAP2 is about making a difference to an issue of significance to the whole of society; the wellbeing of the marine environment and the sustainability of fisheries upon which society depends for food. It builds on the relationships, processes and plans arising from GAP1 by enabling Mobilisation and Mutual Learning (MML) actions that promote stakeholder participation in the debate on and development of research knowledge and structures relevant to emerging policy on fisheries and the marine environment. A broad range of stakeholders will participate, including actors from civil society organisations, research institutions, universities, national and regional ministries and media organisations. Their work will involve: participatory research actions that integrate the knowledge of stakeholders and scientists and render it useful for management and policy development, critical evaluation of the participatory processes and incorporation of the lessons learned into systems of research and decision making. Global networks will be developed to enable trans- and international cooperation on comparing and establishing good practice. The actions of the participants and the outcomes from GAP2 will provide a concrete realisation of specific Science in Society objectives for engaging the public in research, enabling effective two-way communication between scientists and other stakeholders, and helping to make policy based on scientific evidence and research knowledge. It will contribute to the aim of the Science in Society programme to enhance democratic debate with a more engaged and informed public, by providing better conditions for collective choices on scientific issues relating to sustainable management, conservation of ecosystem integrity and biodiversity of the marine environment.

The loss of biodiversity and the degradation of ecosystems are major scientific and societal challenges. Addressing them and providing scientific support to policy requires a coherent research framework, with coordinated strategies and programmes at the regional and international levels, which are the relevant scales for many biodiversity issues. By networking 21 funding agencies from 15 countries, BiodivERsA2 aims to strengthen the ERA on biodiversity. Building on the experience of the ERA-Net BiodivERsA, but with a wider, more balanced network, BiodivERsA2 will promote a strategy for biodiversity research, in partnership with other players in the field, and will organize joint funding to better integrate biodiversity science. The objectives are to: - develop an efficient agenda-setting mechanism for joint activities (including joint calls),taking into account existing research strategies and agendas at international levels along with national and institutional priorities - instate a recurrent and visible funding opportunity for transnational biodiversity research projects - play an active role in the processes and interfaces to inform policy and users - prepare the establishment of a sustainable, independent funding platform for biodiversity research The project has 6 workpackages. WP1 will promote networking and sharing of best practice, ensuring the rapid integration of new members and the adoption of a framework for joint calls. WP2 will analyse the landscape and cooperate with stakeholders identifying research needs, with science-policy interfaces and with relevant infrastructure programmes. Using outputs of WP1&2, WP3 will produce a roadmap for joint funding and implement 3 calls within the project timespan. These activities will ultimately create the conditions for the network to become a sustainable funding platform for European biodiversity research, which will be fostered by WP4. WP5 will develop and implement a communication strategy and enhance project web-products. WP6 deals with coordination and management.

This project applies a socio-cognitive lens to examine how high-technology firms negotiate the criteria journalists use to evaluate their products and how the balance between appreciation for both technological and aesthetic product dimensions is created and maintained. In many high-technology markets, firms offer goods that are at the technological forefront and are also aesthetically appealing (e.g., iMacs and iPods). This focus on aesthetics is puzzling because in high-technology industries, firms and their goods are appreciated for their technological functionality and utility and the scientific and mechanic principles that underlie this functionality. When firms invest resources in product aesthetics, they expect their constituents (journalists, customers, suppliers, stakeholders, etc.) to appreciate these non-utilitarian product dimensions and the way they operate as meaningful symbols that can express users’ identities. To study the aesthetic focus, this inductive multi-case study uses both qualitative and quantitative content analysis approaches. I will collect press releases for Apple, Dell, Nokia, and Ericsson as well as product reviews for the entire personal computer and mobile phone industries from the past two decades. I will use these texts to compare the ways in which both firms and journalists describe their products and how they construct the criteria they apply to evaluate these products. I will also be able to examine how firms’ evaluations influence and/or are influenced by those of journalists. Analyses will include both a deep qualitative reading of the texts as well as an innovative computerized approach. Using a computer program, I will develop a coding scheme allowing me to analyze this vast amount of text with great reliability. Previous research, especially past experience with developing three computerized coding schemes, has helped me develop the theoretical and methodological skills required to successfully execute the project.

The overall objective of this proposal is enhancing research cooperation on gender and science between the European Union and the Mediterranean countries. Research cooperation is aimed at better understand the roots of gender inequality in science in the area, taking into account cultural diversities and traditions, and analyse how the Mediterranean countries are addressing this issue. It will deal with gender equality from a twofold perspective: the representation of women in scientific research and technological development and the integration of the gender dimension in research policy. The project will provide state of the art description, data collection and relevant comparative analysis on gender and science in all the Mediterranean countries, focusing on three key themes: statistics on women in science, gender equality policies and research on gender inequalities in science careers. These results will be made accessible to the research community and policy makers via an online database, publishable reports and workshops. With the overall purpose of enhancing networking and steering policy-making on gender and science in the years to come, the project will finally develop recommendations for policy-makers aimed at enhancing the presence of women in scientific research and technological development at all levels and ensuring a better integration of the gender dimension in research policy. The Mediterranean countries included in the proposal are the Mediterranean Partner Countries (MPCs), i.e. the Mediterranean countries included in the list of International Co-operation Partner Countries: Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Palestinian-administered areas, Syrian Arab Republic, Tunisia.

This ambitious SiS CATALYST project seeks to identify how children can be change agents in the Science and Society relationship, and from this starting point, to indicate how they can be catalysts in the longer term solutions to the grand challenges faced by society - their future. It will contextual this in Global, European, national, regional and local arenas. The Action Plan involves refining Case Studies of replicable and scalable SiS activities for children with an associated pan European benchmarking and mutual agreement process, which will provide vehicles for strategic and political alignment, as well as shared assessment tools. These core WPs will be enriched by WPs which systematically engage three critical groups: young people, students and Key Players. The focus will be on children with ability, who are currently least likely to progress to study science in post secondary education. It will also combine the science and society agenda with the social inclusion agenda through entrepreneurship as well as considering the ethics of activities. The capturing the mutual learning will be priortised and robustly disseminating and communicating this in regional, national, European arenas and beyond, specifically targeting newcomers. The totality of the activities of the consortium will be externally evaluated and all actors will be assisted to reflect on the ‘Partnership Learning’ that has occurred. This will be captured as an example of mobilising mutual learning for future European initiatives. Key to the project will be the active participation of young people, exploring their perceptions and understanding of science. Learning from them as the scientists of the future. The Action Plan will be systematically promoted in Europe and beyond, with the goal of having at least 20 Ministers for Education presenting the same certificates to children in 20 countries in the final year and a Children’s Gateway to the website of every University in the World
