For the 2nd call, the following applications topics are opencommon theme: focus on public benefits and public sector participation
Topics share some common elements* • Common elements • Similar requirements for overall project objectives • Minimum set of tasks • Minimum set of deliverables • Requirements for the content of the proposal • General requirements are slightly adapted depending on the topic • Aviation and SAR: specific, more focussed objectives • SME topic: lighter requirements for tasks and deliverables • Science: lighter requirements for commercialisation * With the exception of SAR service and aviation that have a very specific scope
Topics have similar requirements for overall project objectives • The application shall be targeted to the specific scope of the topic. The emphasis is on applications with a social and public dimension or with a high level of innovation. • The project should result in the development of an application or a part of an application that can be integrated rapidly in an existing application. GNSS should be used as the primary positioning technology in the application and positioning should be a key enabler of the application. • The consortium should have a clear intention to commercialise the project results as demonstrated by a realistic business plan. This can include commercialisation towards public authorities and governmental users. • The application should be innovative. The project should conduct research that goes beyond the current state of the art or apply available technology in an innovative way. The latter could mean the application of technologies such as EGNOS or EDAS to new markets for these technologies, to new applications within existing markets or in support of new business models. • The project should contribute to the adoption of Galileo, EGNOS or EDAS e.g., early Galileo signals are used, EGNOS or EDAS technologies are applied in new ways, the application facilitates wide adoption of EGNOS, the application leads to an increased understanding of the market or user requirements in fields that are particularly relevant for Galileo, the project contributes to the identification and resolution of obstacles for the adoption of Galileo and EGNOS. • Note on terminology: • Shall: mandatory requirement • Should: recommended • May: is permitted
A minimum set of tasks is requested for all projects • Project management • Core tasks • Technical feasibility • Commercial feasibility • Application development • User trial • Analyses • Benefits of Galileo, EGNOS • Obstacles to Galileo, EGNOS adoption • Legal, regulatory and standardisation aspects • R&D coordination • Coordination with other FP7 projects • Dissemination of results • Contribution to GSA managed user fora
A minimum set of deliverables is requested • Project plan • Quarterly progress reports • Technical feasibility study • Commercial feasibility study • Dissemination material and website* • Report on market trial • Business and exploitation plan • Analyses * To be made public, other deliverables can remain confidential
Requirements for the content of the proposal • Preliminary business plan that includes: • brief concept description • assessment of market potential • analysis of competing offers and technologies • high-level business model and economics plan • Measurable and verifiable project objectives e.g., develop application prototype delivering specified functionality, verification: trial. • Table of compliance with topic objectives
Specific points of attention • Applications with an emphasis on generating public benefits are preferred. This includes applications that e.g., increase the safety of citizens, reduce pollution, protect the environment, promote inclusion and social welfare, increase the efficiency of public services, and support the implementation of public policies. • Clear focus on GNSS programme related objectives: stimulate adoption of EGNOS and EDAS and prepare markets for Galileo introduction • More flexible approach to budget. There is no indicative budget or budget cap other than the overall cap for collaborative projects of €27.8m • SME call: coordinator has to be SME or R&D institution. In some cases (duly justified) other participants can be non SMEs/R&D institutions • Specifically for SAR and aviation: coordination with existing projects important

Detailed topic descriptions • Road telematics • Innovative applications targeted to SMEs • professional applications • scientific applications • Social LBS
Road telematics • TOPIC GALILEO.2008.1.1.1 (b) Use of EGNOS Services for Mass Market: Road Telematics • Scope: road telematics applications, i.e., applications for road vehicles that combine technologies like mobile telecommunications, information technology, positioning, possibly GIS and on-board sensors including ADAS. Avoid Road User Charging. • Emphasis on applications generating public benefits e.g., • increase the safety of citizens, • reduce pollution, • protect the environment, • promote inclusion and social welfare • increase the efficiency of public services • support the implementation of public policies. Note: some confusion in the topic description document, high precision use is not a requirement
Road telematics • Background • Road currently largest GNSS market and strategic market for Galileo and EGNOS • While navigation market is showing signs of saturation, many opportunities in other areas e.g., road safety • 1st call focussed on Road User Charging • Changes versus 1st call • Focus on applications generating public benefits • More flexibility in budget

Professional applications: fleet management and logistics applications • TOPIC GALILEO – 2008- 1.2.1. Use of EGNOS for professional applications: fleet management and logistics applications • Scope: fleet management and logistics applications • Example areas: • Asset tracking e.g. tracking of vehicles, containers, livestock, dangerous goods • Multi-modal transport e.g., containers and parcel tracking • Fleet management e.g., dynamic routing, remote vehicle diagnostics • Background • Topic not addressed in 1st call • Opportunity to prove EGNOS in fast evolving regulated and unregulated markets: fleet management growing rapidly, new legislation on dangerous goods/livestock leading to GNSS related efforts in these markets, public concern on bus passenger safety • Building on FP6 results (MENTORE) • Capturing EGNOS benefits in logistics may require further technology developments
Professional applications: High precision applications including agriculture • TOPIC GALILEO – 2008- 1.2.1. Use of EGNOS for professional applications: High precision applications including agriculture • Scope: high precision applications • Example areas: • Agriculture applications such as: CAP reporting, yield management, vehicle guidance, seeding • Other high precision applications in the fields of surveying and mapping, construction and engineering, oil and gas • Background • Topic not addressed in 1st call • High precision in general is a key market for both EGNOS and Galileo. It has significant commercial potential and high visibility and symbolic importance. EGNOS OS, EDAS and Galileo OS, CS are all expected to play an important role in this market. • Despite its potential EGNOS still under-used and requires some technological developments and demonstrations to take off in this sector. • We expect innovations that will make high precision more affordable based on EGNOS/Galileo OS and/or applications that increase performance based on EDAS/Galileo CS. • We expect applications to use EGNOS and/or early Galileo signals
