  1. EUREKA umbrella action Surface engineering for sustainable production and products

  2. Buildupon EUREKA ENIWEP experience(2005-2010) Positiveexperiences... • firm international contacts & networking • promotion of newproductionrelatedtechnologies • launching of original project ideas • organisation of research brokeringevents • partner search via national & international networks • support in using and gearing of different funding programmes • develop project ideas in real RTDI projects • feel home in EUREKA organisation, ESE, NPCs

  3. Buildupon EUREKA ENIWEP experience ... and learningpoints: • few active partners • 'inbreeding' because of limited scope: friction, wear and lubrication • narrow scope often limited to niche application areas • scope differsfrom core activities of partners • limitedinteractionwithother (EUREKA) networks • ... • leading to rather low visibility in EU RTDI landscape

  4. Buildupon EUREKA ENIWEP experience • Butstill project generation track record: * to be taken up in the new E!-SURF action

  5. E!-SURF CHANGE ! • Drastic improvementsbasedon: • partners with a direct interest in contract research and other services: technology providers and industrial partners = key actors ! • significantly broader technological scope = surface engineering • industrial partners are offered a more attractive palette of competences to provide technological solutions for their challenges • intense interactionwithother EUREKA networks and beyond • improvedmonitoring of relevant EU, national and transnationalfundingopportunities • very relevant societal drivers: resource (materials & energy) efficiency and sustainable production

  6. E!-SURF mission to developnew, industriallyviabletechnologies in the field of surface engineering forimplementation in resource efficient, sustainableproduction and products

  7. Sustainable Production: quid ? • Process (in plant manufacturing) • profit: robust, flexible, competitivemanufacturing • people: safe & healthy jobs forskilledworkforce • planet: lessmaterial & energy resources, less waste • Product (ex plant usephase and beyond) • profit: addedvalue in valuechain • people: safe & healthy, personalbenefitslikebiomedical, food, ..... • planet: recyclable/biodegradable, durable, ... • Withemphasisonprofit, since without sustainedcompetitiveness of EU economy, opportunitiesforsocial & environmentalimprovementswillbe lost!

  8. E!-SURF target • Primary goal = technology transfer and implemention via the generation of industrial RTDI projects, through: • industry demand - technology offer matchmaking • monitoring and assistance in research funding opps • infothrough website & e-bulletins, incl. technologywatch, legislation issues, .. • partnering and networking • trainingtailored to industrydemands

  9. E!-SURF activities • E!-SURF website: www.eurekasurf.eu • E!-SURF seminar annex matchmaking event during EUROFINISH trade fair @ Ghent, 28 September 2011: • http://www.b2match.eu/eurofinish2011 • http://www.eurekasurf.eu/matchmaking/ • EUREKA partner search DB: http://www.b2match.com/profactory/ • monitoring of funding opportunities: http://www.eurekasurf.eu/funding-opportunities/ • E!-SURF summer school @ UMinho, 12-14 September 2011: http://scans.web.simplesnet.pt/Summer_school.html • …

  10. E!-SURF project generation • ActiveinvolvementbyE!-SURF partners • Makinguse of EUREKA programmes E!-RTDI & EuroStars, CleanTechbutalsootherfundingopportunities, like • ERA NETs: MATERA+, MNT, SME², CORNET, MANUNET. • EU framework programmes: NMP, Energy, Environment, Transport, ... recoverypackageFactories of the Future and EFFRA, ... • nationalcallsforproposalsseeking international collaboration, e.g. Austrian COMET programme • transnationalinitiativeslike the NordicInnovation Center (NICe) • E! and EuroStarsprojectswillbeformallyregistered, 'other' projectswillberegistered in own database

  11. E!-SURF members & project data • NPCs/partners: • 26 partners from 11 countries: ES, DK, BE, AT, UK, PT, FR, SI, IT, TR, PL + ... ? • Contact NPC = Robert Verbruggen (BE Belspo) • Chair: sharedbyTekniker (ES) & DTI (DK), and open forotherenthusiasticcandidates • Secretariat: vito (BE) • Formalstart date: 14/12/2010 • Duration: 3 + 2 years(go/no go orrevision at midterm) • Budget to beconcluded in CollaborationAgreement

  12. E!-SURF commitment ! • Commitment is a must, by the E!-SURF: • contact NPC • NPC group • chairs • secretariat • steering group • network partners and theirNPC's (alsowhenjoining at later stage) • EUREKA secretariat ESE

  13. E!-SURF financing of the network • Chairs and secretariat: financial support of NPC and/or in kind fromorganisation • SG members= WP leaders: sometimes NPC financial support, butmostly in kind from the organisationsfordedicatedWPs & actions: events, TW, ... • Network partners: mainlyad-hoc in kind contributions • ESE support to website, promotion materials, meetings, attendance at events, ... • Maindrivers: • contract research and services for the technology providers • innovativeprocesses, products & services for the industrial user partners

  14. E!-SURF milestones & deliverables • Milestones are decisionpointsbasedonmain performance indicators (PI): • # (submitted/granted) projects • # active partners • Deliverables are tools to achievebothPIs: • matchmakingactions • fundingguidanceactions • website & e-bulletinsactions • partnering/networkingactions • training actions • meetings/reports

  15. Whyjoin EUREKA & E!-SURF ? • NOT for: • direct funding of projects • funding of trips • conversationgroup • BUT for: • organisednetwork of active partners in surface engineering • facilitating the setting-up of projects • facilitating the finding of active partners • EUREKA is a strong brand, muchappreciatedbyindustry and governments/fundingagenciesbecause of technology transfer focus • EUREKA & EuroStarsmechanismsforsetting-upprojects

  16. Join E!-SURF ! • Seek support fromyournational project co-ordinator (NPC) • Complete sections of EUREKA applicationforms • Demonstratecommitment in verysimpleCollaborationAgreement • www.eurekasurf.eu • More info ?
