The 7th Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development (FP7) ends in 2013. Now is the time to start a process on how to set priorities for future activities. The Conference 'New Worlds – New Solutions. Research and Innovation as basis for developing Europe in a global context' organised by the Swedish Research Council in Lund, July 2009, attempted to lay the ground for considerations about future directions for research, development and innovation in Europe. The conference gathered 350 researchers, researh organisations, entrepreneurs and politicians from all over Europe to discuss how European research ought to develope. More focus, less territorial thinking in the research community and more both cross-faculty and cross-border cooperation. That is how the vision for research and innovation presented to the Swedish EU Presidency at a conference in Lund can be summarised. The ‘Lund Declaration´ now calls on the EU and academia to more clearly identify the major challenges facing the world, areas where there is an urgent need for more research. |
