• Continual monitoring of global developments. The capabilities for monitoring global trends and evolution of knowledge with worldwide implications must become more efficient and improved. 22
APPENDIX 2 RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT The frame of reference for research and development activities within the European Union is provided by the Lisbon strategy and the EU Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme. Estonian and Finnish researchers and entrepreneurs have been actively involved in the EU’s scientific and technology research programmes. As a result of the Sixth Framework Programme (FP6, 2002–2006), Estonia has received, or will receive, funding to the amount of EUR 33 million and Finland EUR 365 million. Usually the projects funded by the EU are extensive involving a large number of international partners. To date, nearly 400 Estonians and over 1,400 Finns have participated in projects launched under the Sixth Framework Programme. Current activities are based on the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) initiated at the beginning of 2007. Estonia and Finland need to intensify their cooperation in the European Research Council and make efforts to develop the European Institute of Technology (EIT) and the European Research Area (ERA). While Estonia and Finland have supported each other on a reciprocal basis in the context of the EU’s research policy, both countries must actively seek to engage in cooperation with other like-minded countries in order to build up the EU’s research, development and innovation policies. Research activities undergo constant change. The requirements imposed by the changes have been evaluated by the Estonian Science and Development Council and the Finnish Science and Technology Policy Council in their joint meetings. In both countries, researchers have engaged in topical public debate and advised their respective governments. A long-term view, which gives due consideration to global developments, is of great importance in the research cooperation between the two countries. The action to develop research activities needs to be based on a thorough assessment while making use of the experiences gained internationally. Neither Estonia nor Finland has an analysis centre for research development that would collect information and prepare independent evaluations and analyses. A number of processes are under way in Estonia and Finland to promote the competitiveness of the national economies either directly or indirectly. 23
