  1. Integrated Projects & Networks of Excellence Examples Khalil Rouhana Head of sector European Commission, IST programme Workprogramme coordination and cross programme themes

  2. Integrated Projects Current Industrial strength / presence « Monolitihic » Incremental Integrated Projects Targeted Research Projects Networks of Excellence Industrial exploitation Fundamental research Basicresearch Industry-driven research Example of implementation in IST

  3. Integrated Projects - purpose • Designed to support research that is …..objective and result driven • clearly defined objectives and results • Each IP should • integrate the types of activities needed to obtain the goals • integrate the critical mass of resources needed to obtain the goals • integrate all elements of technology / value chain ….to attain high-impact goals • support industry (large & SME) collaboration with academia

  4. Integrated project Current projects IPs: addressing all needed elements of the value chain (1) Ex: Multi-sensorial interfaces

  5. Integrated Project Industry Other sources (EIB) Eureka FP6 Addressing the needed elements of the value chain (2) In microsystems… process optimisation / pre-production module integration / device prototyping module development Combining funding sources advance technology options & roadmaps MSs Time to market

  6. All needed elements of the value chain (3): Technology-applications MST and M@NT based applications / systems nano-microsystems as components IP (nano- micro-) Packaging, Interconnect & Assembly nano & micro Actuating Devices nano & micro Passive Structures nano & micro Sensing Devices nano & micro Processing Devices nano-micro-optics Techniques, nano- micro-magnetic & nano-micro-mechanics Materials, nano-micro-electronics & nano- micro-fluids Effects. nano-micro-biomedical nano-micro-chemical nano- .........................

  7. Best practice IP Take-up, trials Industry driven research Basic research Integration along the innovation cycle Adoption Time

  8. ApplicationVision2008-2010 technology / application RTD project – roadmap + single objective Workpackage Workpackage Workpackage – Workpackage RTD + demonstration + take-up Workpackage – Workpackage Spin-off resultsCall for trials Add partners e.g. SMES Call for trials Add partners e.g. SMEs Call for IP’s in application domain Call to extend and complete Call for integration of results Potential evolution of an Integrated Project Proposed project roadmap

  9. “Monolithic” • partners known at outset • tasks identified • budget known • “Incremental” participation • tasks identified • budget known • not all participants are in • “Incremental” funding • objectives known • technology roadmap known • tasks to be completed • budget to be changed • participants as well Integrated Projects - possible implementations

  10. Networks of Excellence - objectives • To reinforce or strengthen ….scientific and technological excellenceon a given research topic • by integrating the critical mass of expertise needed to provide European leadership and be a world force • around a Joint programme of activity (JPA) • Structuring European research by …integrating research capacities across Europe. • Durable integration • To progress knowledge on a particular theme • Overcome the fragmentation of European research • To act as a “Virtual Centre of Excellence” • To spread excellence beyond the partners

  11. The JPA Partner 2 Partner 1 Partner 2 Partner 2 Partner1 Integrating activities “Binding” Partner1 Partner 4 Partner 4 Partner 4 Partner 3 Partner 3 Partner 3 with the NoE Coordinated NoE - aims at integrating & shaping research The NoE field RTD activities in Europe before the NoE(today)

  12. Example • Situation before the network: • good isolated research teams in Europe • fragmented effort, redundancy of work, multiplication of effort on basic research tools such as software libraries etc… • a huge gap with US, Japan in terms of quality of deliverables and impact • links to industry very sparse • The network: • Brings together between 8 to 15 the best teams in Europe • Between 50 and 150 researchers per year • EU funds are a small part of the total effort • Helps emerge common research work between ALL team members • Fosters exchange of knowledge, coordination of activities, • buillds links with the US, Japan,… • Common deliverables, co-written papers and common research tools

  13. Example • Main outcomes • Solid research community with coordinated activities • common software libraries incorporating all advances brought by all teams • agreement on common open standards, methodologies for data representations, for visualisation , for problems handling.... • From coordination to common programmes.. • Wider dissemination of activities to SMEs, etc..
