  1. YUINFO Conference Kopaonik - March 8th - 12th, 2003 Information Society 6th Framework Programme on RTD Georg Melzer

  2. Outline • FP6 What does that mean? • An introduction to IST • The IST Work Programme • What has happened so far? • How can I participate? • Where can I get further information?

  3. FP6 Strategic Goal • Strengthen the scientific and technological bases of EU industry  competitiveness • Support other EU policies • consumer protection, environment, transport, energy, etc. • European Research Area (ERA) : “internal market” in research  free movement of knowledge, researchers and technology

  4. National Programmes in MS European Organisations National Programmes in NAS ERA Framework Programme Why a “European Research Area “?

  5. FP6 - a way towards ERA • Strengthening and integrating Community RTD • Structuring ERA • Strengthening the foundations of ERA • building integrated and structured R&D capacities • Improving the impact of EU RTD activities • Improving the human resource base • More co-ordination and coherence of national and EU RTD activities

  6. FP6 Structure

  7. FP6 - Instruments • Integrated Projects (IP) • Networks of Excellence (NoE) • Specific Targeted Research Projects (STREP) • Co-ordination Actions (CA) • Specific Support Actions (SSA)

  8. FP6 - International Dimension 32 fully participating countries : • The 15 EU Member States • Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Israel, Turkey • The 12 accession & candidate countries: Lithuania Poland Bulgaria Slovak Republic Czech Republic Hungary Latvia Slovenia Estonia Cyprus Malta Romania

  9. Definition of third countries • ‘Third country‘ means a State that is • neither a Member State • nor a State associated to the Framework programme • Associated Candidate Countries: Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Turkey • other Associated States: Iceland, Norway, Liechtenstein, Israel, Switzerland

  10. FP6 - SMEs • Special focus  at least 15% of thematic priorities’ budget • Specific research projects • Co-operative research projects (CRAFT) - minimum 3 SMEs from 2 countries (1 must be MS or ACC) • Collective research projects - by RTD performers on behalf of industrial associations or SME groupings

  11. - the Political Umbrella Key objectives: • Accelerating Europe’s transition into the digital age • Ensuring greater coherence amongst EU Member States • Harvesting the benefits of the knowledge society in terms of jobs and growth • Moving the knowledge society to the top of the political agenda of the EU and its Member States

  12. IST Objectives & Strategy • Main objectives - Strengthening Europe’s competitiveness & technology base - Building the information and knowledge society for ALL • Strategy - Concentration and focus, building critical mass - Capitalise on Europe’s strengths - Visionary, forward looking (longer term / high risk) - Combine flexibility with greater speed in implementation - Scope of activities: Core technologies & “pull-through” applications

  13. Towards “Ambient Intelligence” • IST today • PC based ………………………………… • “Typing and reading” ….…………….…. • “Word” based information search ….…… • Low bandwidth, separate networks …..…. • Mobile telephony (voice) ……………….. • Micro scale ……………………………… • Silicon based ….………………………… • eServices just emerging ………………… • Only 5% of global population on-line …. “Ambient Intelligence” tomorrow “Our surrounding” is the interface Use all senses, intuitive Context-based knowledge handling Infinite bandwidth, convergence, .. Mobile/Wireless full multimedia Nano-scale + new materials Wide adoption (eHealth, eLearning, …) >70% of world-wide population on line

  14. Workprogramme Approach • Limited number of calls (3 over 2 years) • Concentration on a limited set of ‘Strategic Objectives’ • 23 Strategic Objectives for 2003-2004 • Instruments • ~2/3 of budget targeted to new instruments • Indications of money expected to be devoted to each Strategic Objective

  15. Year 2003 2004 2005 2006 Indicative Budget 835 M Euro 891 M Euro 935 M Euro 964 M Euro Calls Call 3 drawing on 2005 budget Calls 1 & 2drawing on 2003 and 2004 budgets TBD TBD WP 2005-6 WP 2003-4 Budget and Calls

  17. Strategic Objectives • Pushing the limits of CMOS, preparing for post-CMOS • Micro & nano-systems • Broadband access for All • Mobile & wireless systems beyond 3G • Towards a global dependability & security framework • Multimodal interfaces • Semantic-based knowledge systems • Networked audiovisual systems & home platforms • Networked business & government • eSafety for road and air transport • eHealth • Technology-enhanced learning & access to cultural heritage + FET proactive + Accompanying actions WP 2003-4: Call 2(closed on 15.10.03) Technology components Integrated systems Sectorial Applications

  18. Strategic Objectives • Advanced displays • Optical, opto-electronic, photonic functional components • Open development platforms for software and services • Cognitive systems • Embedded systems • Applications & services for the mobile user & worker • Cross-media content for leisure and entertainment • GRID-based Systems & solving complex problems • Improving Risk management • eInclusion • Product design & manufacturing 2010 + FET proactive + Research Networking + Accompanying actions WP 2003-4: Call 2(closed on 15.10.03) Technology components Integrated systems Sectorial Applications

  19. Call 2 IST : Statistics I Total proposals 1.079 100% IP 195 18,1% NOE 58 5,4% STREP 632 58,6% CA 51 4,7% SSA 143 13,3%

  20. Call 2 IST : Statistics II Total proposals 1079 100% Ineligible 15 1,4% Below threshold 788 73% Prioritised 276 25,6% Total funding requested € 4,098m Funding requested by prioritised proposals€ 1,054m Funding available in call 1 € 525m

  21. Why proposals failed! • Too ambitious, too complex to be believable • Unclear, chaotic • Not relevant for the Call and the Work Programme • Not innovative, not going beyond the state of the art • Objectives, methods, approach unclear • Results neither clear nor quantified, no exploitation • All results at project end, no intermediate results • Unrealistic cost estimates • Unbalanced project consortium, “alibi” partners • Management structure & processes not appropriate

  23. Proposal Checklist • Does your idea fit in the IST Workprogramme? • Yes? Identify the Strategic Objective! • Is there an open Call? • Which type of project is called for in the Strategic Objective? (IP, STREP, ...) • Check Call Text … & check deadline! • Contact EC Contact Person: be sure idea is in scope of call

  24. Necessary Documents • IST Workprogramme • Call for Proposals (Call Text : Official Journal) • Guide for Proposers • Evaluation Manual (General FP6 + IST Specific Annex)

  25. Advantages of EU projects • Financial support • European contacts and networking • Access to new markets • Personal contacts and new cultures • Excellent and competent partners • Prestige • Good PR • Fun
