  1. FTP – EU-Russia co-operation Claes-Göran Beckeman Project Director, FTP

  2. FTP activities 2007 • Support in connection to first and second FP7 Calls. • Promote FTP and its SRA within FP7. • Mobilize and encourage National Support Groups (NSGs) and their stakeholders. • Establish FTP database. • Coordinate with other Technology Platforms. • Communication.

  3. Forestry Pulp&Paper Wood Bioenergy Specialities FP7: Structure Specific Programme „Cooperation“ Seventh Framework Programme (2007-20013) Theme 2 „Food, agriculture and biotechnology“ Work Programme 2007 How do topics address FTP value chains ? Activity 2.3: Life Sciences, biotechnology and biochemistry for sustainable non-food products and processes Calls for proposals Area 2.3.1: Improved biomass and plant based renewables Topic: KBBE-2007-3-1-04: FOREST PRODUCTS – New forest based products and processes

  4. First 2007 call for proposals FP7 Theme 2 - Food, Agriculture, Fisheries and Biotechnology • Call identifier: FP7-KBBE-2007-1 • Publication: 22. December 2006 • Deadline: 2. May 2007; 17:00 h Brussels local time • Single stage submission process • Funding Schemes: • Small or medium-scale collaborative projects (< 3 million € EC funding) • Large-scale collaborative projects ( 3 - 6 million € EC funding) • Coordination and Support Actions (< 1 million € EC funding)

  5. KBBE-2007-1-2-07: Novel forest tree breeding FP7 Theme 2 - Food, Agriculture, Fisheries and Biotechnology Forestry • Activity 1: Sustainable production and management of biological resources from land, forest and aquatic environments • Area 1.2: Increased sustainability of all production systems (agriculture, fisheries and aquaculture); Plant health and crop protection • Keywords: improved/novel breeding strategies (e.g. resistance breeding, marker assistant breeding, genetically designing trees with enhanced physiological characteristics), reduce the vulnerability of trees towards the impact of biotic hazards, pests, diseases and improve adaptation to changing environmental conditions due to climate change. • Funding scheme: Large collaborative project • Expected impact: adapt production strategies to more rapidly changing market and environmental conditions.

  6. KBBE-2007-1-2-08: Developing new methods for valuing and marketing of currently non-marketable forest goods and services FP7 Theme 2 - Food, Agriculture, Fisheries and Biotechnology Forestry • Activity 1: Sustainable production and management of biological resources from land, forest and aquatic environments • Area 1.2: Increased sustainability of all production systems (agriculture, fisheries and aquaculture); Plant health and crop protection • Keywords: new valuation methods to assess the socio-economic impact of a wide range of forest externalities, develop new or improved marketing concepts and integrated production methods for non-wood forest products. […] goods, benefits and services such as clean water and air, recreation, hazard protection and prevention, landscape, etc.. • Funding scheme: Small collaborative project • Expected impact: viable income for forest owners, future stability of European forests, sustainable rural development

  7. KBBE-2007-3-1-04: Forest products – new forest based products and processes FP7 Theme 2 - Food, Agriculture, Fisheries and Biotechnology Forestry • Activity 3: Life Sciences and Biotechnology for sustainable non-food products and processes • Area 3.1 Improved biomass and plant renewables • Key-words: […] high added value productsmade ofwood based fibreswithhigh durability and usability[…] replacement of “unsustainable products” […] and hazardous components […]environmentally friendly biobased products • Funding scheme: Large collaborative project • Expected impact: diversification of the forest industries and opportunity to apply post-genomic knowledge in theproduction of derived forest products Pulp&Paper Wood Bioenergy Specialities

  8. NMP-2007- 4.0-1: Advanced wood-based composites and their production FP7 Theme 4 - Nanosciences, etc. – NMP • Activity 4.4: Integration of technologies for industrial applications • Key-words: […] improving production efficiency is not alone sufficient for maintaining the competitiveness of the European forest-based industry. […] develop new high added value products produced by new resource efficient production concepts. […] intelligent recombination of specific physical properties […] for example replacing lignin with silicon or ceramics in the wood nanostructure can yield radically new product properties. • Funding scheme: Large-scale integrating projects • Specific features: […] a significant SME participation is expected • Expected impact: placing sustainability at the forefront of cost control and competitive advantage as well as emphasising its role in industry's social responsibility […] develop several new product families based on new production concepts that exploit the potential of wood-based composites across a variety of applications in the health, electronics and food sectors, as well as in the fields of construction, furniture, packaging, speciality papers, vehicles and textiles.

  9. ENERGY.2007.3.3.1 : Forest-based biorefinery FP7 Theme 5 - Energy • ACTIVITY ENERGY 3: Renewable Fuel Production • AREA ENERGY 3.3: Biorefinery • The biorefinery concept aims at maximising the value derived fromer biomass feedstock by using all of its components. • Key-words: Development of advanced fractionation and conversion technologies to be integrated in a pulp mill for the combined production of new bioproducts and biofuels • Funding scheme: Large collaborative project with predominant R&D component • Expected impact:Maximise renewable energy output from pulp mills, optimising economics of total process Pulp&Paper Bioenergy Specialities

  10. Biorefinery Task Force • Peter Axegard, STFI • Markku Karlsson, UPM-Kymmene • Paterson McKeough, VTT • Annita Westenbroek, KCPK • Michel Petit-Conil, Afocel/CTP • Ludger Eltrop, IER University Stuttgart • Klaus Niemelä, KCL • Marco Mensink, CEPI (chairman)

  11. How to promote FTP within FP7 • How to work for Programs and Calls. • Prepare FTP’s priorities based on its SRA • In Brussels • Commission • Advisory Group members • EU Parliament • Through countries (NSGs) • Program Committee members • Advisory Group members • Permanent representation in Brussels • Members of the EU Parliament • Encourage more from the sector to become evaluators.

  12. RA 1-6 Commercialisering soft forest values Openings in 1st call Forest-based sector specific: Cross-sectoral: Preliminary gap analysis (major topics to propose for next calls) Well covered content-wise, but one small project is far from sufficient.

  13. RA 4-2 Advancing knowledge on forest ecosystems Openings in 1st call Forest-based sector specific: Cross-sectoral: Preliminary gap analysis (major topics to propose for next calls) Questionable whether this RA is sufficiently covered

  14. Task of a National Support Group • Integration of stakeholders • Industries, forest owners, SMEs • Scientific community • National agencies • Prioritisation of research themes from a national perspective (National Research Agenda) and coordination with the European SRA. • Facilitate funding activities. • Contact and networking on national level with other technology platforms or similar initiatives (e.g. regional clusters). • Support project development and consortia buildung • Introduce, inform about and promote FTP and its SRA in your country, e.g. contacts with politicians, high level authorities, public financiers etc. • Promote FTP database.

  15. Sweden Private/public funding (“BFP”) of joint research during 5 years of total 500 MSEK. (Not forestry and bio-energy)

  16. FTP’s project database • Keep track of European FTP projects. • Keep track of national FTP projects as an option. • Web-based open tool both for input of projects and queries. • Possible to introduce a project in max. 15 minutes. • Every project, which follows the FTP criteria, gets an unique identification number. • Possible to list and follow projects after country, value chain, research area and key words. • The software will have a minor one time cost.

  17. Cooperation with other Technology Platforms • Knowledge-based bio-economy (KBBE) • Food for life • Suschem • Biofuel • Plant for the future • Animal health • Animal breeding • FTP • Construction • European construction • Suschem • Steel • Photo voltaic • FTP • Manufuture • Water

  18. Lead Markets of the Forest-Based Sector: The Challenge - Innovation Based on Research - Next FTP Conference in Hannover, Germany, 15./16. May 2007
