  1. Assessment of Expressions of Interest Attributed to Priority 3 NCP, 23rd October 2002

  2. Data and statistical results

  3. Data and statistical results Of the 1670 EoIs received, 3 groups: • 396 (24%)are clearly relevant for Priority 3; • Demonstrate clear or potential breakthrough; • Instrument is adequate and well understood • 882 EoIs (52.5%) are considered “not mature” • The final group of 392 EoIs (23.5%) contains proposals which were not relevant for Priority 3 (out of scope) or EoI exercise was not understood

  4. Data and statistical results The 396 relevant EoIs (24%) may be considered “mature and promising”, but... • Weak participation of Industry (11 %) as co-ordinator • The number of IP is almost the same as NoE (51 % IP, 49 % NoE) • As far the country of origin of the EoIs, Germany scored the highest value (20%), followed by UK (15%), France (13%), Italy (8%), Spain (7%), …, Poland (3%). • SME participation (mentioned in EoIs): 51% • INCO participation (mentioned in EoIs): 27%

  5. General comments on statistical results • There is a high level of dispersion among research topics • The opportunities of the new IP and NoE instruments were not well exploited, especially: • the integrating aspect of IP (SME technology transfer, Spin-off, benchmarking, risk analysis, policy awareness, market studies…) • the structuring necessity of NoE (lasting integration of researchers for joint research programs…) • Only 1/4 of EoIs refer to overall costs. The average costs are: 25 M€ for IP (range from 8 to 80 M€); 34 M€ for NoE (range from 15 to 60 M€)

  6. Technological Clustering

  7. Qualitative approach • All research topics should address the following: • knowledge-based economy (competitiveness) • sustainable development • stimulating of paradigm shift • We can use the criteria of Policy awareness (Societal/Economic needs) in order to regroup research topics. • In this case, 6 families of strategic topics can be found: • Health • Security, safety, quality of Life • New concepts of production: factory of the future. • Sustainable development • Nano-science/technology and new materials might be considered as generic technology areas.

  8. Societal/Economic needs Societal Clustering Competitiveness Eco-Design / sustainable processes Towards Nano-world Safety / Security Quality of life Factory of the future Health Enabling Material Technology Structuring ERA

  9. Large response, good coverage of research topics Fragmentation of research topics Lack of industry leadership Long-term and breakthrough research quite well understood (for IPs) Objectives for “lasting integration” in NoEs often lacking Conclusions (I)

  10. Conclusions (II) • Technical (“vertical”) integration well covered, but issues on standardisation, environmental impact, science-society often lacking • Co-ordination with other funding sources appears not to have been taken up by proposers yet • Societal problems and gender issues are very rarely addressed • Need to better target research objectives: the “societal approach” seems a good way to focus on strategic R & D topics
