ECTP: The way forward • • • Define Vision 2030 Define research priorities Promote research projects Follow up of research Improve innovation ECTP & NTPs 8

Vision 2030 (Feb. 2005) 9

Strategic Research Agenda (Nov. 2005) Research priorities • Meeting client/users requirements • Becoming sustainable • Transformation the construction sector FAs SRA 10

SRA Implementation Action Plan (1) • Roadmap for the next 6 years on how ECTP wishes that these priorities will fulfilled through: • European projects (FP 7, …) • Multinational projects ( Eureka, Eranet+, …) • National projects • Research infrastructures • JTI • …. . 11

SRA Implementation Action Plan (2) A Technologies for Healthy, Safe, Accessible and Stimulating Indoor Environments for All B Innovative Use of Underground Space C New Technologies, Concepts and High-tech Materials for Efficient and Clean Buildings D Reduce Environmental and Man-made Impacts of Built Environment and Cities E Sustainable Management of Transports and Utilities Networks F A Living Cultural Heritage for an Attractive Europe G Improve Safety and Security within the Construction Sector H New Integrated Processes for the Construction Sector I High Added Value Construction Materials 2006 12
