Translation of "recherche sur l’utilisation " (French → English) :

Animals used for the production and maintenance of infectious agents, vectors and neoplasms, animals used for other biological material and animals used for the production of polyclonal antibodies for the purposes of translational/applied research, but excluding production of monoclonal antibodies by ascites method (which is covered under category "Regulatory use and routine production by type") should be reported in the respective fields of categories "Basic research studies" or "Translational and applied research".

ACTIONS The Commission will: Key action 9: Leverage more private investment through the strategic use of pre-commercial procurement[36] and public-private partnerships[37], by using structural funds for research and innovation and by maintaining a pace of 20% yearly increase of the ICT RD budget at least for the duration of FP7; Other actions: Reinforce the coordination and pooling of resources with Member States and industry[38], and put greater focus on demand- and user-driven partnerships in EU support to ICT research and innovation; Starting in 2011 propose measures for ‘light and fast’ access to EU research funds in ICT, making th ...[+++]em more attractive notably to SMEs and young researchers in view of a wider implementation within the revision of the EU RTD Framework; [39] Ensure sufficient financial support to joint ICT research infrastructures and innovation clusters, develop further eInfrastructures and establish an EU strategy for cloud computing notably for government and science; Work with stakeholders to develop a new generation of web-based applications and services, including for multilingual content and services, by supporting standards and open platforms through EU-funded programmes.

Research activities should also take into account the Protocol on the Protection and Welfare of Animals and reduce the use of animals in research and testing, with a view ultimately to replacing animal use.

- the use, as appropriate, of consistent methods and tools to promote innovation through research and to reconcile better research with the concerns of society, as well as consistent frameworks for the implementation of actions on human resources, infrastructure support and ensuring the ethical conduct of research, which may be implemented, inter alia, within the context of integrated projects and networks of excellence.

To increase the productivity of European research while helping to structure collaboration on a continental scale action will have to be taken in this context to encourage the use of electronic networks in the various fields of research in European as well as national research programmes: development of databases and access to advanced Internet services; promotion of the production of multimedia content and interactive uses; support for new forms of electronic collaboration of researchers ahead of the emergence of real "virtual research institutes".
