Short presentation from the Research Council of Norway on Research for Public Sector Innovation and Renewal, given at National Science Foundation, Washington DC, USA, March 18th, 2010.
The document discusses why European research and education policies should include open access. It argues that open access maximizes access to and impact of scientific research, fosters innovation, and drives economic growth. Open access improves research quality and enables knowledge sharing, international collaboration, and the fulfillment of institutions' goals to disseminate and advance knowledge. The European Union supports open access through various policies and projects aimed at creating a European Research Area with free circulation of knowledge.

The importance of content-mining in the EC policy on open accessJean-François Dechamp
The document summarizes the European Commission's policy on open access and text and data mining (TDM). It discusses two Commissioner's support for open access to boost innovation. The Commission aims to optimize the impact of publicly funded research by making it openly accessible. It developed a strategy including open access mandates in FP7 and Horizon 2020. The Commission sees efficient TDM as a way to maximize research impact, and that existing legal and technical barriers to TDM must be removed so that publicly funded content can be mined. The Commission understands stakeholders' concerns and wants to ensure any TDM policy solutions are coherent with its broader open access and open science policies.
This document discusses knowledge sharing and open access in the European Union. It notes that open access to publications and data from publicly funded research will help realize the vision of a unified European research area. The document outlines goals for open access, including having open access strategies in all EU countries by 2014 and 100% open access to publications by 2020. It also discusses barriers to open access and knowledge transfer between universities, public research organizations, and businesses. It proposes several actions to address these issues and foster scientific excellence and innovation in the EU.
The document provides an overview of Framework Programme 7 (FP7), the main European Union research and technological development funding programme from 2007-2013. It discusses the various specific programmes, funding schemes, and instruments within FP7. The total budget for FP7 is €32 billion, aimed at supporting trans-national collaboration on research and innovation projects across both private and public sectors.

This document outlines the key steps involved in developing an EU-funded project from idea to completion, including developing the project idea, building a consortium, writing the proposal, evaluation, contract negotiations, project start, and completion. The main stages are: 1) developing the innovative project idea and checking its fit with funding priorities; 2) building a balanced international consortium; 3) writing the detailed proposal; 4) undergoing rigorous evaluation; 5) negotiating contracts if successful; 6) starting the funded project work; and 7) completing the project objectives over several years. Attention to eligibility rules, evaluation criteria, and management structures is essential to success.
The document summarizes key elements of the European Commission's 2018 Data Package, which outlines measures to create a common European data space by making different types of data more accessible and reusable across borders and sectors. It discusses proposals to recast the Public Sector Information Directive to require member states to make high-value public and research data available through APIs for free reuse. It also covers principles for business-to-business data sharing and facilitating data delivery from companies to the public sector while respecting commercial interests. Finally, it outlines revisions to the Commission Recommendation on access to scientific information to update open science policies and practices.
The document discusses the Open Data Pilot in Horizon 2020, which aims to improve access to and reuse of research data generated by projects. Participants will be required to deposit data and enable access for third parties. The creation of Data Management Plans is integral. The pilot applies to projects in specified areas that must deposit research data in repositories and enable third party access and reuse. Costs for implementing open data requirements are eligible.

It discusses the Research and Innovation Center Pro-Akademia, defines what a cluster is, describes the activities and target groups of the Bioenergy for the Region Cluster, and gives examples of networking projects and ways the cluster supports science and industry cooperation. The overall purpose of the Bioenergy for the Region Cluster is to promote sustainable development of bioenergy in the Lodz region through collaboration between businesses, researchers, and local authorities.
The document outlines the Chakra Food Pyramid, which recommends eating a variety of fruits and vegetables grouped by color to promote total well-being and good health. Each color group provides unique health benefits: purple foods support heart and mental health; green foods promote detoxification and cell regeneration; yellow/gold foods support eye and immune health; orange foods support brain, eye and immune function; and red foods support heart health and metabolism. Specific fruits and vegetables are listed for each color group, along with "filler foods" like potatoes, rice and starches that provide nutrition but are not always essential.

1) The document discusses the opportunity for technology to improve organizational efficiency and transition economies into a "smart and clean world."
2) It argues that aggregate efficiency has stalled at around 22% for 30 years due to limitations of the Second Industrial Revolution, but that digitizing transport, energy, and communication through technologies like blockchain can help manage resources and increase efficiency.
3) Technologies like precision agriculture, cloud computing, robotics, and autonomous vehicles may allow for "dematerialization" and do more with fewer physical resources through effects like reduced waste and need for transportation/logistics infrastructure.

eGovernment research in the EU member statesosimod
The document provides an overview of eGovernment research in the EU. It finds that while eGovernment is declared an important policy priority, actual funding for research is small and fragmented across different programs and countries. Thematic research priorities also vary between countries and are not always aligned with identified future needs, such as understanding user needs. It recommends moving towards a more integrated, cross-boundary approach to eGovernment research in Europe.

Editor's Notes
Vi ser her hvordan Forskningsrådet fordeler midler til både U&H-sektoren og instituttene, men at statlige, fylkeskommunal og kommunale organ gir mer til anvendt forskning. Dette er mye FoU for offentlig sektor fordelt fra mange bevilgere.
Denne figuren sier noe om kapasiteten i kunnskapssystemet og noe om innretningen av aktivitetene. Figuren bekrefter instituttsektorens store betydning i norsk forskning, selv om mye av skjevfordelingen skyldes ulike nivåer på basisbevilgninger mellom UH og institutter. Næringslivets relativt svake innsats skyldes næringslivsstrukturen og det faktum at Skattefunn ikke er med. Figuren viser likevel at næringslivet er aktive på IKT-sektoren, tross mangelen på et NOKIA og at vi har en aktiv industriell sektor innenfor energisektoren. Det er for så vidt forutsigbart at bioteknologi og medisin er dominert av UH-sektoren. MATERIALER Instituttsektorens sterke rolle skyldes blant annet SINTEF og IFE. Økningen i næringslivskategorien skyldes et proaktivt arbeid fra Nanomats side og aktiviteter under BIA. Andre er avsetninger på Nanomatprogrammet (Forskningsrådet).
