  11. An overview of IST in FP6 • Context • Content • Tools

  12. Security, privacy IPRs, dependabilty Smart cards,... Health, eInclusion, mobility, environment safety, cultural heritage GRIDS for science, engineering business and society E and m business, e and m work, learning Trust & Confidence IST for societal challenges IST for economic challenges Demanding applications Applied IST for major societal and economic challenges Pervasive, mobile, wireless, trustful infrastructures Miniaturised, low cost low power components & µsytems Natural interactions with ‘ knowledge ’  Communication & networking Software µ, nano & opto electronics µ and nano systems Knowledge technologies interfaces • Mobile: beyond 3G • Fixed:All optical • Integrated (IPv6) • Adaptive • Reliable • Embedded • Distributed • Adaptable • CMOS : the limit • System-on-Chip • Nano-scale • New materials • Multidiscplines • New Sensing • Networked • New materials • Nano-scale • Context based • Semantic based • Agent based • Scaleable • All senses • Multilingual • Intuitive • ‘Surrounding’ Specific integration Anywhere anytime natural and enjoyable access to IST services for ALL Building blocks Generic

  13. Context • Content • Instruments An overview of IST in FP6

  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: 3 (+1+1) 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 activities Speaking notes + feedback: Introduction to the instruments available for implementing the FP6 priority thematic areas http://europa.eu.int/comm/research/nfp/pdf/instruments_280202final.pdf

  16. Integrated projects: characteristics • Integration • All elements of technology chain to attain high-impact goals • Different type of activities: • RTD, technology transfer, training, dissemination, demonstration… • Global funding involving public & private funds • Size • The necessary size to attain its goals • Participation • 3 legal entities at least (2 from MSs) • minimum can be changed in the WP • supports industry-academia collaboration including SMEs

  17. IPs: implementation • Selection on a call for proposal basis • possible call for expression of interests, to select themes • Large degree of autonomy • Allocations of budgets • Possibility to launch calls for participation • Subsequent calls for additional “tasks” and funding by the Commission • Funding • Grant to the budget up to 50% • Different ceilings depending on the activity

  18. IPs : Three possible implementations • “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 • “Monolithic” • Partners known at outset • Tasks identified • budget known Working document + feedback: Provisions for implementing Integrated Projects http://europa.eu.int/comm/research/nfp/pdf/provisionsimplementingip-28022002.pdf

  19. Networks of Excellence (NoEs): characteristics • “Virtual” centre of excellence • brings together the research effort on a particular topic • a clearly identified “joint programme of activity” • established or emerging fields • Size • Several MEuro funding per year for the “Integrated effort” • Support to different types of activities: • RTD, training, transfer, mobility... • Participants • Minimum 3: Universities, Research Labs, Industrial LabsSpecial Measures planned for SME’s

  20. NoEs: Implementation • Selection on the basis of calls for proposals • Large degree of autonomy • Possibility to modify plans and allocation of work • possibility to launch a call for participation • Funding • Grant for integration • Up to 25% of total effort that is put together Working document + feedback: Provisions for implementing Networks of Excellence http://europa.eu.int/comm/research/nfp/pdf/provisions-implement-net-excel.pdf

  21. Article 169 • At the initiative of the member states • Support to “national” programmes jointly executed according to article 169 • EC funding used to support the jointly executed programmes • Lukewarm reception by Council & Parliament • No precedents, no rules (yet) for FP6 participation • 5 pilots under development in DG_R (end-Jan 02)(DG Information Society not currently involved in pilots) • Bio-diversity (MS=3+3) • Clinical Trials (MS=13) • Ocean Drilling (MS=3+10) • Sustainable impact assessment (MS=7) • Air Traffic Management (MS=?) • Global Change (?)

  22. Targeted RTD projects • Principle: Similar to current RTD contracts • Funding: Grant to budget up to 50 % • Launching: Calls for proposals • Participation: At least two MSs

  23. Coordination activities • Similar to current thematic networks • Support to logistics, .. • can cover up to 100% of additional costs

  24. FP6: Instruments for “anticipating & strengthening” • RTD supporting policiesRTD supporting new S&T areas • Targeted RTD Projects, similar to current shared cost contracts • Networking of Member State research activities • Focused Calls with annual workprogrammes • “Strengthening…” • Grants : to co-ordination of RTD • Grants : for development of a coherent policy • Support to SMEs • Collective.. (SMEs’ Associations + Research Centers) • Cooperative..(>2 SMEs + research centers) • Support to specific International Cooperation activities • EU’s foreign policy & development aid policy

  25. Participation 3rd Countries • IN ‘Integrating’ part • All countries • Funding possible for INCO countries • OUTSIDE ‘Integrating’ part • Countries with co-operationagreement under specified conditions • Other countries if necessary Who? • Member States AND Associated candidate Countries, same rights & obligations • European scientific cooperation organisations (ESA etc) • Minimum nbr of legal entities - IP and NoE: 3 (2 from MS) - Other instruments: 2 (1 from MS). - Fellowships & support actions: 1 possible (Nbr can be adjusted by WP)

  26. Financing Grant for integration Grant to the budget Grant as a lump sum Networks of Excellence  Integrated Projects  Targeted projects  Specific Research activities for SMEs  Integrated initiatives for Infrastructure  Actions to promote human resources and mobility   Coordination actions  Specific support actions  

  27. IPR • As in FP5 • Knowledge fully funded by Community: property by Community • Knowledge partly funded by Community: property by participants • Simplification & flexibility added • All rules can be fixed within the consortium agreement • principles provided: participants may agree additional rights • rules identical for all participants
