Editing Lisbon Strategy (section)

===Strategy===
The main fields were economic, social, and environmental renewal and [[sustainability]]. The Lisbon Strategy was heavily based on the economic concepts of:

* [[Innovation]] as the motor for economic change (based on the writings of [[Joseph Schumpeter]])
* The "[[learning economy]]"
* Social and environmental renewal

Under the strategy, a stronger economy would create employment in the EU, alongside inclusive social and environmental policies, which would themselves drive economic growth even further.

An EU research group found in 2005 that current progress had been judged "unconvincing", so a reform process was introduced wherein all goals would be reviewed every three years, with assistance provided on failing items.

Translation of the '''Lisbon Strategy''' goals into concrete measures led to the extension of the [[Framework Programmes for Research and Technological Development]] (FPs) into [[Seventh Framework Programme|FP7]]<ref>[http://cordis.europa.eu/fp7/understand_en.html Europa.eu], European Commission - Publications Office: Understand FP7</ref> and the [[Joint Technology Initiative]]s (JTI).<ref>[ftp://ftp.cordis.europa.eu/pub/fp7/docs/jtis-brochure_en.pdf Europa.eu]{{dead link|date=May 2025|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}, European Commission brocure on JTIs</ref>
