  2. THE SIXTH FRAMEWORK PROGRAMME The Sixth Framework Programme covers Community activities in the field of research, technological development and demonstration (RTD) for the period 2002 to 2006 Work Programme for the specific programme for research, technological development and demonstration: "Integrating and strengthening the European Research Area" PRIORITY 1: Life Sciences, Genomics and Biotechnology for Health 10 June 2004 Commission Decision C(2004)2002

  3. The European Research Area What makes a good proposal ? FP6-2004-LIFESCIHEALTH-5 FP6-2004-LIFESCIHEALTH-4 Overview of the presentation

  4. A legal and political obligation resulting from the Treaty of Amsterdam Competitiveness of companies and the employment they create depends on RTD Support of other policies such as consumer protection or protection of the environment Why European Research?

  5. Research is: Increasingly complex and interdisciplinary Increasingly costly Requires a constantly increasing “critical mass” Why European Research?

  6. 1950s - European Coal and Steel Community 1957 - European Atomic Energy Community 1984 - First Framework Programme 2000 - European Research Area 2002 - Sixth Framework Programme Historical Background

  7. First true European research policy Creating a “single market” for research at the European level Addresses fragmentation of Europe’s research efforts European Research Area

  8. Making a reality of ERA: Framework Programme 6 Member States’ research efforts Other European co-operative research activities European Research Area

  9. Key Principles of FP6Types of projects/modalities Integrated Projects (IP) aims at generating knowledge to increase Europe’s competitiveness or solving major societal needs (average: 3-5 years, 5-20 million €) Network of Excellence (NoE) durable integration of research capacities / restructuring and reshaping the way research is carried out in Europe (average: 3-7 years, 5-20 million €) Specific Targeted Research Projects (STREP) research, demo, or innovation projects, same objectives as for IP, (average: 2-4 years, 1-4 million €) Co-ordination Action (CA) co-ordination of research and innovation (average: 2-4 years, 1-3 million €) Specific Support Actions (SSA) activities complementing the funded research such as workshops, conferences, studies, etc. (average: 6 months-3 years, 0.1-2 million €) In addition fellowships, infrastructures, co-operative research, ERA-net, ……... funded by other parts of FP6

  10. Ethical aspects, science-society dialogue Training RTD 4 RTD 5 Management RTD 1 RTD 3 RTD 2 Demonstration Technology transfer, exploitation Integrated Projects Objectives • The objectives should aim at increasing Europe’s competitiveness or at addressing major societal needs. Must bring together a critical mass of resources and competencies • project scale: 3-5 year, 5-20 M€ • What does integration mean??? Stakeholders involved, multidisciplinary teams, activities (from basic research to exploitation), public and private actors (especially academy- SMEs) and public and private funding

  11. Integrated Projects activities • Project Management (100% funding but max 7% of EC contribution to the project) • RTD - Research and Technological Development activities + innovation related activities (50% funding) creation of new knowledge, IPR management, dissemination and exploitation • Demonstration activities (35% funding) proving the technical and economic viability under realistic conditions, e.g. testing of product like prototypes • Training activities (100% funding) training of researchers and other key staff, research managers, industrial executives (in particular for SMEs), and potential users, the training should contribute to the professional development of the persons concerned

  12. NoE - Networks of Excellence objectives and activities • The main deliverable is a durable structuring and shaping of how research is carried out in Europe • project scale: 3-7 years, 5-20 M€ • Joint programme of activities: sharing of research platforms/tools/facilities, joint management of the knowledge portfolio,staff mobility and exchange, development of new research tools and platforms for common use, training researchers and other key staff, dissemination and communication activities, networking activities to help transfer knowledge to teams external to the network, where appropriate innovation-related activities such as exploitation of the results generated within the network • Grant for integration based on number of researchers,

  13. STREP - Specific Targeted Research Projects objectives and activities • The objectives should aim at increasing Europe’s competitiveness or at addressing major societal needs. The STREPS should be sharply focussed on RTD and/or demonstration activities. • project scale: 3-5 years, 5-20 M€ • Project Management (100 % funding but max 7% of EC contribution to the project) • RTD - Research and Technological Development activities (50 % funding) creation of new knowledge and/or • Demonstration activities (35 % funding) proving the technical and economic viability under realistic conditions, e.g. testing of product like prototypes • Innovation related activities (50 % funding) in particular IPR management and dissemination

  14. SSA - Specific Support Actions objectives and activities • Aims at supporting activities complementing the funded research • project scale: 6 months-3 years, 0.1-2 M € • eligible with ONE single legal entity • Project Management (100% funding but max 7% of EC contribution to the project) • Activities (up to 100% funding) conferences, studies, training courses, partnering events, etc. etc.

  15. Individual Evaluation/Review Consensus meeting(s) Ethical review Panel evaluation Commission decision Reserve List Negotiation Rejection Different steps of the evaluation process Submission of proposals Eligibility check eligible not eligible/Exclusion CR above thresholds below a threshold ESR ESR Priority List Commission decision report
