The Joint Technology Initiatives are a novel way of forming public-private partnerships in industrial research at European level. They were set up as pilots in 2007-2008 under the Seventh Framework Programme in five strategic areas — aeronautics and air transport (the Clean Sky initiative), public health (the Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI)), fuel cell and hydrogen technologies (the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen (FCH) initiative), embedded computing systems (the ARTEMIS initiative) and nanoelectronics (the ENIAC initiative). The SESAR (Single European Sky Air Traffic Management Research) programme should also be mentioned since it is funded under the Seventh Framework Programme. Bringing together industry, the research community, regulators and the EU to define common research agendas and invest in large-scale multinational research activities, the JTIs represent an intriguing opportunity, especially in a global economic downturn, for Europe to strengthen its competitiveness based on the principles of scientific excellence, openness and innovation. An annual report on the progress achieved by the Joint Technology Initiatives Joint Undertakings (‘JTI JUs’) is required by Article 11(1) of the Council Regulations setting up the individual JTIs. This 2011 annual report follows the first interim evaluations of the Joint Undertakings carried out under Article 11(2) of the Council Regulations. It provides information to the European Parliament and the Council and outlines the progress achieved by the JTI JUs since they were set up. |
