  1. RISKMAN 6FP Analysis and CommentsK. Holmberg VTT Industrial Systems, Finland

  2. CONTENT 1. Analysis of 6FP in relation to Risks & Safety 2. RISKMAN EC Conf. Participant Forum in Brussels, 11.11.2002 3. Conformity with EU general policy 4. Comments on the proposal from EC representatives 5. Information about the IP preparation

  3. Analysis of 6FP in relation to Risks & Safety • In the 6FP / “Integrating and strengthening the European Research Area” text with description of the seven priority thematic areas are the words “safety”, “risks”, “security” and “reliability” mentioned in total about 50times • It shows that the programme as a whole includes a remarkable concern about societal and technological matters related to risks and safety

  4. Analysis of 6FP in relation to Risks & Safety 1.1.2 Information Society Technologies • “basic security mechanisms” • “safeguarding infrastructures” • “integrated safety” 1.1.6.1 Sustainable Energy Systems • “security of energy supply” • “reliability of energy sources”

  5. Analysis of 6FP in relation to Risks & Safety 1.1.3.iii New Production Processes and Devices • “safe production concepts” • “reliable manufacturing processes” • “hazard control” • “safe production” • “hazard reduction” • “product safety”

  6. Analysis of 6FP in relation to Risks & Safety 1.1.4 Aeronautics and Space • “systematic safety models” • “safety systems” • “safety in air transport systems” 1.1.6.2 Sustainable Surface Transport • “safety of surface transport” • “safe train and maritime transport”

  7. Analysis of 6FP in relation to Risks & Safety 1.1.6.3 Global Change and Ecosystems • “risk assessment of ecosystems” • “risk assessment of natural disasters” • “hydro-geological hazards” • “natural hazard monitoring” • “risk evaluation of out- and indoor exposure”

  8. 6FP / Information Society Technologies 2003-2004 Workprogramme Draft 3.2.9 Improving Risk Management (2004 budget) • “Objective to develop platforms, integrated systems and components for improved risk management” • “Improve civil security applications and environmental management” • “Foster emergence of info-structure and service platforms, use of interoperable components and sub-systems”

  9. 6FP / Nanotechnology … new production processes and devices, Draft Workprogramme 3.4.3.2 Systems Research and Hazard Control(2003) • “Object to support life-cycle safety,..improved integrated approaches,..” • “Sound and human-friendly working conditions and safety aspects for prevention of accidents should be ensured” • Focus on: Industry, Competitiveness, SME:s, New Added Value Products, Real Break-Through, Road-Maps, Sensors, Diagnostics, Sustainability

  10. 6FP / Science and Society Action Plan • “The Commission will set up networks on risk issues, and will draw up guidelines for dealing with risk communication, particularly when faced with scientific uncertainty” • Smallest budgetary resources (80 Me) no IP/NoE

  11. 6FP / Sustainable Development, Global Change and Ecosystems Workprogramme 6.3 Global Change and Ecosystems • “VII.1 Development of advanced technologies for risk assessment. Integrated risk assessment (2003). Development of risk assessment methodologies (IP,NoE). Methods of risk assessment of pharmaceuticals in the environment (STREP, CA) • Focus on natural disasters

  12. RISKMAN Participant Forum 11.11.2002 • More than 50 attendees • 16 gave card and wanted further information • Yves Paindaveine (EC/IST) said “500 people die every day due to medical errors” - what can you offer? • M.Rossi, interest in project on digital communication techniques and standards for fire brigades

  13. Conformity with EU general policy EU Drivers today: • Enlargement - 2-3 candidate countries needed • Competitiveness of EU - OK • Reform the EU institutions - ? Constrains: • Financial rules, competition law, public accountability - OK Fears: • EU funding dependency - OK • Duplication - OK / should be checked

  14. Conformity with EU research policy Integrated Projects are tools for • increasing impetus to competitiveness - OK • address major societal needs - OK • mobilising critical mass of R&D - OK From fragmented to integrated research - OK • brings together major players • duplication avoided RISKMAN is filling a gap existing today - OK • safety culture to SME:s • safety culture to societal organisations

  15. Comments from EC / TP3: NMP, H.Pedersen • General positive attitude to the RISKMAN idea & approach • RISKMAN fits well into TP3, e.g. 3.4.3.2 & 3.4.4.3 & 3.4 Introduction (products, processes, services) • Most important argumentation for TP3 is improving industrial competitiveness, new business opportunities, long-term availability control, integrate service in products • RISKMAN enables better use of new technology developed in 6FP in future • SRMG concept good, show the advantages to companies: improved market & improved hazard/accident prevention • Need to show strong links/support from application areas, e.g. construction, chemical, IT, manufacturing, occupational health (Bilbao) • Show links to other existing networks, EP3, SAFERELNET,... • Include deliverables from other ongoing EC projects: SYSTEST, RIMAP,…. • Are there links to other funding programmes: COST, EUREKA….? • European Investment Bank, could add risk capital for companies with new business models from RA4 Business models

  16. Comments from EC / TP3: NMP, H.Pedersen • IP application Activity = RISKMAN Research Area, specify: running dates, duration, effort (person/months), partners involved, role of partners, objectives, description of work, deliverables, milestones and criteria, interrelation between components) • RISKMAN evaluation projects = IP Demonstration • RISKMAN implementation projects = IP Training • Good! Include in the application: subproject and deliverables + schematic overheads showing interactions • Fix in application some key pilots (3-5) and leave some (2-3) to be defined and fixed later such that they are cases from other accepted IP:s • In stage 1 general budget + person resources for the activities • In stage 2 detailed plan and budget for the first 18 months

  17. Comments from EC / TP2: ICT, A.Servida • Not so clear how to link RISKMAN to TP2 • RISKMAN topics are related to TP2: 2.3.1.5 Towards a global dependability and security framework (Servida) and 2.3.2.9 Improving risk management • 2.3.1.5 addresses: e-commerce, electronic voting, reliability of IT systems, power GRID, interdependencies of critical infrastructures - related to dependability of information and communication systems and infrastructures, to ensure trust and confidence in IT • 2.3.2.9 addresses: - open platforms, integrated systems, components for risk management, low cost smart sensors, decision support, - related to management of emergencies, civil security (e.g. industrial and terrorist threats), crisis and environmental management • Needs good arguing for why it makes sense to link TP2 and TP3 • Credible only if strong focus on integration and advantage reached by it • Apply the whole RISKMAN to TP3 according to its schedule, then TP3 will consult TP2 for the ICT related part • Big interest in medical applications

  18. 6FP Integrated projects • Nano TPA call in two steps for IP and NoE: 6.12. Final work programme, 17.12. Call for IP & NoE, 1st stage DL 6.3., 2nd stage DL 24.6. • Other instrument one step, DL 10.4., dedicated call for IP SME, 1 stage DL 10.4. & 2 st. DL 3.9. • 60-70 % of budget used for IP & NoE • IP: objective driven research, generate knowledge, ambitious, generate critical mass • detailed plan for 18 months, 12 months reporting • 1 stage / 3 evaluators, panel hearings - answer questions, 2 stage / 5 evaluators • no cost categories required by EC - but recording
