  1. SIS-2013 Calls Opportunities for Research Projects’ Financing Presented by: Laila Kamal ENSTINET

  2. SIS Work Program’s Goal • The SIS program is under the Capacities category in the FP7 and has the following objectives: • Tackling society’s challenges • Ensuring the responsibility of the conducted research towards society. • Making R & I more attractive for developing careers • Enabling citizens to increase their participation in R & I

  3. Background and Role of SIS Work Program • SIS 2013 is a stepping stone towards encouraging Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) that Horizon 2020 (2014-2020) is based on and calls for.

  4. RRI Aspects • Engagement of all societal actors in R & I • Developing scientific literacy, responsibility and creativity in society through providing: • Appropriate science education methods at school • Basic and life-long training programs for researchers in ethical, legal and economical concerns related to their own research context • Regular public exchanges on research and innovation concerns • Gender equality is promoted and integrated in research and innovation content • Publicly-funded research results are freely accessible and available on the Internet for all components of society • Ethics dimension is built in from the inception of process and products • Governance rules are tuned to favor the take-off of the above elements.

  5. Tracks of SIS Calls • Action Lines ↓ • Activity ↓ • Area ↓ • Topic

  6. Action Lines of SIS Calls • First Action Line: A more dynamic governance of the science and society relationship • Second Action Line: Strengthening potential, broadening horizons • Third Action Line: Science and society communicate • Fourth Action Line: Strategic activities

  7. First Action Line: A more dynamic governance of the science and society relationship • Example of the track of calls: • Activity 5.1.1: Better understanding of the place of science and technology in society • Area 5.1.1.1 Relationships between science, democracy and law • Example of topics: • SIS.2013.1.1.-1: Production and use of a Training and Dissemination Toolkit on Responsible research and innovation • SIS.2013.1.1.1-2: Responsible Research and Innovation in industrial context

  8. Second Action Line: Strengthening potential, broadening horizons • Example of the track of calls: • Activity 5.2.1. Gender and research • Area 5.2.1.1: Strengthening the role of women in scientific research and in scientific decision-making bodies • Examples of topics: - SIS.2013.2.1.1-1: Supporting changes in the organisation of research institutions to promote gender equality - SIS.2013.2.1.1-2: ERA-NET on the promotion of gender equality in research institutions

  9. Third Action Line: Science and Society Communicate • Example of the track of calls: • Area 5.3.0.5: Promoting excellent trans-national research and science communication by the means of popular prizes • Example of topics: - SIS.2013.3.0.5-1: European Union Contest for Young Scientists (EUCYS) 2013 - SIS.2013.3.0.6-1: Conference under the Irish Presidency (1st semester 2013) “The role of the media in Responsible research and innovation”

  10. Fourth Action Line: Strategic Activities • Example of the track of calls: • Area 5.4.0.0 Monitoring, evaluation and assessment of Responsible Research and Innovation • Example of topics: - SIS-2013.4.0.0-1: Monitoring the evolution of economic benefits of responsible research and innovation - SIS.2013.4.0.0-2: Stock taking and Meta analysis of SIS projects throughout FP6 and FP7

  11. Types of projects a- Collaborative projects b- Coordination and Support Actions (coordination action) c- Coordination and Support Actions (supporting action)

  12. Types of projects (cont’d) A- Collaborative Projects: • Collaborative projects are objective driven research projects aiming at developing new knowledge, new technology, products, and that may include scientific coordination, demonstration activities or sharing of common resources for research in order to improve European competitiveness or to address major societal needs.

  13. Types of projects (cont’d) B & C- Coordination/Supporting projects: The two different types of actions to be financed here are: • Co-ordination (or networking) actions aimed at coordinating research activities and policies. • Support actions aimed at contributing to the implementation of the Framework Programmes and the preparation of future EU research and technological development policy or the development of synergies with other policies, or to stimulate, encourage and facilitate the participation of SMEs, civil society organisations and their networks, or small research teams and newly developed or remote research centres in the activities of the thematic areas of the Cooperation programme. Support actions normally focus on one specific activity and often one specific event.
