  1. Information Society TechnologiesIn the 6th Framework Programme Hermes workshop Ankara June 2002

  2. Outline of presentation • Context and content • Policy objectives, eEurope2005 • Timetable • FP6 structure & budget • IST in FP6 content • FP6 instruments • Integrated Projects • Specific Targeted Research projects • Networks of Excellence • Coordination actions & support measures • The next steps of preparation

  3. Vision Europe’s challenge: • Single Market ... • Single Currency … • Strong European e-Economy in the global economy... Breaking the traditional boundaries, becoming all - inclusive, accessible, personalized, mobile, multi-cultural,…

  4. Policy context • In Lisbon Summit, the Union has set an objective for the next decade: • “To become the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economy in the world, capable of sustainable economic growth with more and better jobs and greater social cohesion.” • In addition the heads of States have endorsed • the concept of the European Research Area

  5. Policy Making - Interplay Legal & Self-regulatory Economy & Society Infrastructure & Technology Technology  e-Policy

  6. Action in support of the Information Society eEurope Action Plans (2002, 2002+ and 2005) 1. Cheaper, faster, secure Internet 2. Investing in people and skills 3. Stimulating the use of the Internet - eContent Programme, eCommerce, eHealth - Public services and public information - Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) eEurope 2005 to be decided in June 2002 Research: 6th Framework Programme for RTD (2002- 2006)

  7. eEurope Contribution • First time true integration of actions actions undertaken by the Union and the Member States - avoidance of digital divide • Common goals implemented at national level with limited EU intervention • GoDigital, eGovernment • Commission to benchmark the progress

  8. e-Europe 2005 • In preparation for Seville ministerial conference, see http://europa.eu.int/information_society/eeurope/news_library/eeurope2005/index_en.htm • Builds on the e-Europe 2002 • Some topics suggested: • broadband • e-health • e-government • e-business

  9. The timetable for FP6 • October 2001 ……….. Parliament ’s first reading of FP6 • 10/12/2001 ………….. Council agreement on FP • January 2002 ……….. Council formal common position • 10/01/02……………… Modified proposal on Rules for participation • 31/01/02 ……………… Modified proposal on Specific programmes • Feb - May 2002 ……... Parliament second reading of FP • Sept-Oct 2002 ………. Conciliation procedure on FP (if necessary) • October/Nov 2002 ….. Final adoption of FP, SP & participation rules • ~December 2002 …… First FP6 call

  10. Commission proposal for FP6

  11. Towards an “all inclusive knowledge society” • IST today • PC based …………………………… • “Writing and reading”…………….…. • “Word” based information search…… • Low bandwidth, separate networks…. • Mobile telephony (voice)………….. • Micro scale………………………… • Silicon based………………………… • eServices just emerging…………… • Only 5% of global population on-line.. “Ambient Intelligence” tomorrow “Our surrounding” is the interface Use all senses, intuitive Context-based knowledge handling Infinite bandwidth, convergence, .. Mobile/Wireless full multimedia Nano-scale + new materials Wide adoption (eHealth, eLearning, …) >70% of world-wide population on line

  12. FP6 Budget breakdown • Integrating & strengthening • Genomics 2200 M€ • IST 3600 M€ • Nanotechnologies, int.. 1300 M€ • Aeronautics and space 1075 M€ • Food quality and safety 685 M€ • Sustainable development 2120 M€ • Citizens and governance .. 225 M€ • Anticipation of S&T needs • SMEs 450 M€ • Specific INCO 300 M€ • Anticipating needs570 M€ • Strengthening ERA foundations 330 M€ • Structuring ERA • Research and Innovation 300 M€ • Human resources 1630 M€ • Research Infrastructures 665 M€ • Science/Society 50 M€ • Joint Research Centre 760 M€ Of which 100M€for GEANT/GRID Of which 350 M€ in the initial phase Of which 200M€ for GEANT/GRID 16,270 M€

  13. FP6 is not business as usual! • From “Project”-thinking to “Initiative”-thinking • new instruments: “Integrated Projects” & “Networks of Excellence” • more strategic thinking • Develop Europe-wide approaches • making sure that Community funding helpsaggregate EU, Member State & private funded effort(s) • it is not just supporting a particular RTD work… • Different way of describing content and calls • a lighter workprogramme, different sequencing of calls, ...

  14. Instruments: Rationale • Higher integration and building critical mass • Realising ERA • Simplifications of procedures • Larger autonomy • higher responsibility for the consortium • Higher flexibility

  15. FP6: Six instruments for “Priority Areas” • Integrated Projects • Objective driven • Networks of Excellence • Exploratory research • Article 169 • Member states initiative • Targeted research projects • (address specific issues) • Co-ordination actions • Support Actions No longer available ….. - Individual Take-up Actions - SME Exploratory Awards

  16. Integrated Projects - purpose • Designed to support research that is …..objective and result driven • clearly defined objectives and results • Each IP should • integrate the types of activities needed to obtain the goals • integrate the critical mass of resources needed to obtain the goals • integrate all elements of technology chain to attain high-impact goals • support industry-academia collaboration including SME’s

  17. Integrated Project - what is critical mass? • Resource wise: • will have the necessary size to achieve its ambitious objectives • budget may range up to several tens of millions of € (no minimum threshold, provided necessary ambition & critical mass is achieved) • Partnership wise: • minimum 3 participants from three different countries (but in practice likely to be substantially more) • Duration wise: • typically three to five years (more if necessary to deliver the objectives)

  18. Integrated Projects - three possible implementations • “Monolithic” • Partners known at outset • Tasks identified • budget known • “Incremental” participation • Tasks identified • budget known • not all participants are in • “Incremental” funding • objectives known • technology roadmap known • tasks to be completed • budget to be changed • Participants as well

  19. Networks of Excellence (NoE) - objectives • To reinforce scientific and technological excellence • By integrating research capacities across Europe. • To progress knowledge on a particular theme • To act as a “Virtual Centre of Excellence”

  20. NoE - main features • “Virtual” centre of excellence • a clearly identified “Joint Programme of Activity” (JPA) (RTD, training, transfer, mobility... ) • established or emerging fields • Size • Several M€ per year • Participants • minimum of 3: Universities, Research Labs, Industrial Labs • bringing together a “critical mass” of universities, research centres, enterprises (SMEs & large companies),... • Funding • grant for integration • should be less than 25% of total effort of the JPA • funding is NOT a ratio of the total cost

  21. Partner 2 Partner 1 Partner 2 Partner 2 Partner1 Integrating activities “Binding” Partner1 Partner 4 Partner 4 Partner 4 Partner 3 Partner 3 Partner 3 RTD activities in Europe with the NoE (the JPA) Coordinated NoE - the JPA for integrating/shaping research The NoE field RTD activities in Europe before the NoE(today)

  22. Targeted RTD projects • Principle: focused on one specific activity & specific results • by supporting research activities of more limited scope & ambition than Integrated Projects • Similar to current RTD contracts • research (50%) • demonstration (35%) • combined research & demonstration • Participation: at least two independent organisations • from at least two Member States or Associated States

  23. FP6 - coordination & specific support actions Coordination Actions • Similar to current thematic networks • Support to logistics, .. • can cover up to 100% of additional costs Specific Support Actions • An evolved form of the accompanying measures of FP5 • e.g. conferences, seminars, studies and analyses, expert groups, operational support, dissemination, information and communication activities

  24. Who? Member States ANDAssociated candidate Countries,same rights & obligations European scientific cooperation organisations (ESA etc) Minimum number of legal entities - IP and NoE = 3 (2 from MS) - Other instruments = 2 (1 from MS). - Fellowships & support actions = 1 (possible) (Numbers can be adjusted by WP) FP6 Participation rules 3rd Countries • IN the ‘Integrating’ part …. • All countries • Funding possible for INCO countries • OUTSIDE ‘Integrating’ part • Countries with co-operation agreement under specified conditions • Other countries if necessary

  25. IPs « Monolitihic » Incremental IPs TRPs NoEs Example of implementation in IST Current Industrial strength/presence Industrial exploitation Fundamental research Basicresearch Industry-driven research

  26. Status updates - instruments and operations • Detailed provisions and discussion papers on CORDISfor Integrated Projects & Networks of Excellence • providing details on how these instruments will be implemented, types of activities, financing, calls, evaluations,… Detailed provisions for the other instruments • April 2002 http://www.cordis.lu/rtd2002 http://www.cordis.lu/rtd2002/fp-debate/cec.htm#integrated

  27. What to do now • Build constituency • Build interesting consortia with interesting topics • Call for expressions of interest to FP 6 to be analysed during the summer, workshops, seminars etc • Be involved in the area you are interested in! • Follow regularly information available on Cordis! (www.cordis.lu)
