  1. Priority 3 NMP: generalities Renzo TOMELLINI Head of Unit “Nanosciences and Nanotechnologies” Directorate “Industrial Technologies” Research Directorate-general European Commission These pages do not represent any commitment on behalf of the European Commission.

  2. A changing role for the EU’s Framework Programme • Objective “Lisbon”:to becomethe most dynamic and most competitive knowledge-based economy • Objective “Göteborg”:sustainable development (environment, economy, employment) • Objective “Barcelona”: education and training, innovation ERA:…Integrating, reinforcing, structuring

  3. This involves ... • Stimulating research activities • Need to reconsider industrial products & processes (moreknowledge-basedthan resource intensive) • Adaptation of research stakeholders tonew contexts&sustainable development(think differently) • Support to radical innovation throughbreakthroughoriented RTD

  4. A tool to support ERA and to promote competitiveness concentrationon selected priority areas structuringeffect on research activities streamlining of implementation FP6 (2002-2006)Main principles

  5. Integrating European Research13345 life sciences, genomics and biotech for health 2255 information society technologies 3625 nanotech, knowledge-based materials, production 1300 aeronautics and space 1075 food quality and safety 685 sustainable dev, global change and ecosystems 2120 citizens and governance 225 - anticipating needs (INCO, CRAFT, JRC, etc)2060 Structuring the ERA2605 research & innov., human res., infrastructures, science & society Strengthening the Foundations of ERA320 EURATOM 1230 TOTAL € million 17,500 FP6 (2002-2006)

  6. Investing in research: Towards 3% of GDP 3 Japan USA 2,5 2 Business funded R&D R&D in % of GDP 1,5 1 Public funded R&D 0,5 0 EU 2000 EU 2010 objective

  7. General activities(also in TP3:Collaborative research) At least 15% of the total budget allocated to SMEs Specific activities Co-operative research: by RTD centres for SMEs or by high-tech SMEs in collaboration with research centres and universities (CRAFT) Collective research: by RTD centres for industry groupings in entire sectors of dominated by SMEs Support to SMEs

  8. The European Research Area is open to the world Three major routes: Thematic Priorities are open to Third Countries, with some substantial Community funding (~€ 30m in TP3) Specific measures for international cooperation Activities regarding Human Resources S&T Agreements with several countries Implementing Arrangements on Materials Research with China and the United States (NSF) Cooperation with Third Countries

  9. Thematic Priority 3concentrates on: • i) Nanotechnology, as a flagship of the next industrial revolution • ii) Multi-functional knowledge-based materials, as critical drivers of innovation iii) New Production processes and devices, as the key to sustainable development

  10. Transformation of EU industry with a view to sustainable development From resource-based to knowledge-based Promote real breakthroughs not just incremental research Integration of production and consumption patterns Integration of education and skills development Thematic Priority 3Overall approach and objectives

  11. Instruments Traditional projects“Stairways of excellence” New Instruments Instruments to implement the thematic area and to ensure high European impacts on selected technical and socio-economic issues Networks of Excellence (NE) Integrated Projects (IP) Coordination Actions (CA) Specific Targeted Research Projects (STREP) Specific Support Actions (SSA)

  12. Strengthen excellence in a research domain Aim at integration Joint programme of activities Seeking continuity Autocatalytic knowledge mass for excellence EC funds: depending on “integrated” resources Society problems & competitiveness Aim at exploitation Implementation plan (pre-defined results) Limited in time Critical mass for problem solving EC funds: depending on estimated costs New instruments Networks of excellence versus Integrated projects

  13. Specific targeted research projects (STREP) Coordination actions (CA) Traditional instruments Specific support actions (SSA) • Stimulating cooperation to improve research competencies • EC funds only for coordination activities • Similar structure as traditional projects • Research at frontier of knowledge • EC funds for RTD activities • Foresight activities • Interaction with regulators and public authorities

  14. New Instruments- IP for SMEs Specific conditions • At least 50% of the partners are SME • SME budget participation is considerable, but there is no specific minimum percentage of the total budget • Duration recommended to be maximum 4 years • Size generally smaller than other IPs but still considerable with an average estimated EC funding around 7 M€
