12. Support measures for the implementation of FP6 in Hungary • Reinforcing the NCP network • New structure of representation in the Programme Committees • Establishing of Working Groups • New challenges for the liason offices in the regions • The Hungarian R&D office in Brussels • Projects for the promotion of participation in FP6 • Information days, training of advisors – • Launching of FP6 in Hungary: November 5th

13. JRC in FP6 „The Joint Research Centre (JRC) will provide independent customer-driven support for the formulation and implementation of Community policies, including the monitoring of implementation of such policies, within its areas of specific competence.” Hungary would like to play an active role in the formulation of the Community policy (2004-), Seek for financing for development of the regions – use of financial support for R&D

14. JRC in FP6 Research will be concentrated on two core areas related to two of the priority thematic areas:  (a) Food, chemical products and health, Combat BSE, genetically modified organisms, genetically modified organisms. (b) Environment and sustainability.  Climate change, renewable energy sources, protection of the European environment. Hungary: Fundamental policy issues at the level of national economy – cooperation with JRC

15. JRC - ERA JRC’s role in the implementation of ERA: • Networking • Cooperation between JRC institutes – networks of excellences in the candidate countries

16. European Parliament Committee on Industry, External Trade, Research and Energy (29. July 2002) • „…encourages the JRC to continue its enlargement-related activities, which address both the transfer of S&T component of the acquis and the development of a pan-European research Area, welcomes the integration of enlargement objectives in the JRC Work Programme…”

17. JRC vs. Hungary – at present Cooperation at different levels: • Individual level – fellowships, jobs offered Hungarian staff at JRC – 11 persons • Project level – participation in shared cost actions in FP5 with JRC – 9 projects with Hungarian actors • Institutonal level – research agreement between JRC and Hungarian institutes – need for improvement - Participation in projects of the institutions ~40 institutes have cooperation at some level with JRC • JRC Enlargement Action – Workshops, Conferences and Job Opportunities

18. JRC - Hungary 2004: Hungary expected to become EU member New challenges are expected: • Active participation in the formulation of the EU Community policy • Further attention should be given to cooperation with the then new Member States • Explore the fields where special assistance is required for the EU integration of the new members –participation in the Workprogramme of JRC • Role of Technology Foresight

19. Examples for JRC-Hungarian cooperation • ICAROS NET - KFKI AEKI (Atomic Energy Research Institute) – IHCP • IMEP-6 - VITUKI (Institute for Water Pollution Control)– IRMM • Microdistribution reference material – KFKI MFA (Research Institute of Technological Physics and Materials Science) - IRMM • HYSENS-2002 – DLR Flight Campaign – MÁFI (Geological Institute of Hungary) –IES • Agricultural Biotechnology Center Gödöllő - IHCP

20. ICAROS NET - Integrated Computational Assessment of urban air quality via Remote Observation Systems network • 'ICAROS-NET' detects fine particulate matter from space. Fine particular matter is now one of the biggest threats to human health from air pollution. The results should help improve environmental policy making in the EU and the effectiveness of international environmental treaties. Test areas to validate the system are Athens (Greece), Budapest (Hungary), Munich (Germany), and the region of Lombardy (Italy)

21. ICAROS NET (cont.)- Aerosol optical thickness over the greatest part of Lombardy

22. IMEP -6 • IMEP demonstrates the degree of equivalence of results of chemical measurements for individual laboratories on the international scene. For this purpose, participating laboratories receive well characterized samples (certified test samples - CTS); • IMEP provides a reference value, independent of the participants' results; • Individual measurement results of participants are compared against these reference values; • IMEP is organized and coordinated by Institute for Reference Materials and Measurements (IRMM). The establishment of reference values is done in collaboration with measurement laboratories around the world; • VITUKI participated in IMEP-6 concerning trace elements in water. Li, B, Ni, Cu, Zn, Rb, Sr, Mo, Ag, Cd, Ba, Tl, Pb, Fe were analysed in water samples. The evaluation programme contributed to the analytical quality improvement.

23. Microdistribution reference material JRC Institute for Reference Materials and Measurements, Geel, Belgium Res. Institute of Technical Physics & Materials Science Budapest 1997-2001 • Target: Development of metal line pattern material for microbeam spotsize determination • Microelectronic processing of Ni and permalloy strip patterns on oxidised silicon wafers of certified geometry at MFA. • Characterisation of the etalon chip by PIXE, RBS, Scanning Proton Microprobe by IRMM in collboration with University of Oxford. • Distribution of the reference material to the particle-beam analysis community by IRMM.
