我国参与欧盟研发框架计划的总体情况

Outline of China Participation in the Framework Program of the European Community for Research and Technological Development

欧盟研发框架计划是世界上规模最大的、综合性的官方研发计划,具有研发领域广、投资规模大、延续时间长、参与的机构和人员多等特点。自欧盟第四研发框架计划正式对欧盟以外的国家开放以来,其开放的领域不断扩大,包括信息通讯技术、纳米技术、能源、环境等众多领域。从我国参与欧盟第四至第七框架计划的情况来看,参与项目的数量增长较快,但经费增长缓慢;合作领域由以传统领域为主向高技术领域扩展;参与主体以大学和科研机构为主。目前,欧盟已开始实施"地平线2020"计划,并将推行对等开放、双向合作的国际科技合作方式。我国应认真总结前期参与欧盟框架计划的经验,积极应对新的挑战。

The Framework Program of the European Community for Research and Technological Development （FP） is the largest comprehensive ofifcial program for research and technological development in the world with characteristics of broad ifelds, large funds, long period and large quantity of participants. Since FP4 opened outside EU formally, FP continues to extend the opening areas including information and communication technology, nanotechnology, energy, and environment. China has participated in the EU research program from FP4 to FP7, and the number of projects involved increased rapidly but with slow increase of funds. The cooperation between EU and China has extended from traditional areas to high-tech areas with participants mainly from higher and secondary education organizations （HES） and research organizations （REC）. EU has executed“Horizon 2020” since 2014 and will promote the reciprocal opening and bilateral cooperation. So, we should summarize the experiences of early participation in FP and take active ways to meet the new challenges.
