“Practical Aspects of Preparation FP6 projects Poznan - 21 November 2002 Dr. Ir. Matthijs Soede Senter/EG-Liaison The Netherlands m.soede@egl.nl
Content • From idea to the contract • How to get into a consortium • Evaluation Criteria • Questions
From idea to the contract • Define your project - fit with FP6? • Read Workprogramme and Guide for proposers carefully • Draft first pages • Finding partners • Consortium Agreement • Writing proposal • Submitting proposal before the deadline • Evaluation of proposal • Contract negotiations • Contract
National/Regional Contact Point system • Giving information and advice about FP5/6 • In every country - partners can ask for information in their own country! • Building bridges between Brussels and the research society • Giving support with finding partners
Evaluation Criteria • Relevance to the objectives of the programme • Potential Impact • Scientific and Technological excellence • Quality of the consortium • Quality of the management • Mobilisaton of resources
Size Integrated Project 24 Million Euro for 4 years 20 Million Euro for personnel 1 researcher = 80000 Euro per year 20 Million Euro = 250 research years Project 4 year: 62,5 researchers per year!!!!
Relevance to the objectives of the programme • addressing the scientific, technical, socio-economic and policy objectives • Objective “Lisbon”:to allow the Union becomingthe most dynamic and most competitive knowledge-based economy within 10 years • Objective “Göteborg”:sustainable development (environment, economy, employment) • ERA:…Integrating, reinforcing, structuring
Example topic from priority 3 NMP • Mastering chemistry and creating new processing pathways for multifunctional materials - IP; NE; STREP; CA • The overall objective is to maintain and extend Europe’s lead in chemical technologies, building on skills and respecting the environment, and also to provide benefits in other intermediary and end-user sectors. RTD objectives should include, among others, new strategies and optimisation of chemical reactivity and catalysis, development of supra-molecular and macromolecular engineering, product formulation, new solvent routes, chemistry and new synthesis routes for eco-materials
Innovation Time Integration is key in Priority 3 for... Structuring ERA: RTD organisations, Industry, Services, Users & funding sources Strategic objectives: leadership, cost-effectiveness, added value, sustainable growth, health & safety, cleaner environment, etc. Complementary activities: demos, education, training, information exchange with users, dissemination, legal & financial environment, IPR, etc Research: on enabling & hybrid technologies, i.e. design & engineering, clean technologies, materials science, social sciences, nanotechnology, etc supporting changes in production & consumption paradigms
Potential Impact • Suitably ambitious in terms of its strategic impact on reinforcing competitiveness or on solving societal problems • Optimal use of the project results • Clear added value in carrying out the work at European level
Scientific and Technological excellence • Clearly defined objectives • the objective represent clear progress beyond the current state-of-the-art • The proposed S&T approach is likely to enable the project to achieve its objectives in research and innovation
Quality of the consortium • The participants collectively constitute a consortium of high quality • Participants well suited and committed to the tasks assigned to them • Good complementarity • Profiles of partners clearly described • Opportunity of involving SME’s has been adequately addressed • YOU NEED MOTIVATED PARTNERS
Quality of the management • The organisational structure is well-matched to the complexity of the project and to the degree of integration required • Project management is demonstrably of high quality • Satisfactory plan for the management of knowledge,of intellectual property and of other innovation related activities
Ethical aspects, science-society dialogue Training strong management structure RTD 4 RTD 5 Management RTD 1 RTD 3 RTD 2 Implementation Plan Demonstration Technology transfer, exploitation Management Integrated projects • Project coordination team • Scientific board
Governing Council Funding Bodies Representatives To structure the EU research potential by integrating research capacities European Commission • Joint research activities • Integrating activities • Spreading of excellence • Common management Management Group Management Group Research team leader Partner Organisation Representative Networks of Excellence
Mobilisation of resources • Consortium mobilises the critical mass of resources (personnel, equipment, finance….) • Resources are convincingly integrated to form a coherent project • The overall financing plan for the project is adequate.
