New and emerging science and technologies
(NEST) is a new activity within the 6th Framework Program (2002-2006),
supporting scientific research with the potential to open new fields for
European science and technology. It will also help to consolidate European
efforts in emerging fields of research. NEST activities will also assist in
planning future activities in the European Research Area. They will help to
sustain projects that will need larger-scale support in future European
research programs. The overall budget for NEST within FP6 is €215 million. [i]
The following activities set by the FP6
will further enable research and development into AD.
The
European Commission is setting up a network called SINAPSE (Scientific
Information for Policy Support in Europe), which will put science at the
service of policy development. The network began its work in 2003, and has a
number of different functions:
§ To develop an electronic library of scientific opinions and advice
which will give public authorities seeking expert advice on scientific issues,
§ the opportunity to check whether any work has been done on the
subject;
§ enable the Commission to conduct informal scientific consultations,
§ give the scientific community and other stakeholders the chance to
initiate discussions on potentially contentious scientific issues and
§ to provide a secure network for discussions between scientists.
The European Research
Advisory Board is a high-level independent advisory committee, made up of
45 top experts from EU countries, which provides advice on the design and
implementation of EU research policy. It focuses on realizing the European
Research Area, and on using policy instruments such as the Community Research
and Development Framework Programme.
