  1. Overview of ICT-PSP and Funding Instruments Natasa Radovic NCP for ICT PSP *information from the EC presentations (Info day, Brussels, January 15, 2013) and related call documents

  2. Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme– CIP (1/2) • 2007 -2013: 3,621 B€ Information Communication Technologies Policy Support Programme (ICTPSP) ~730 M€ Intelligent Energy Europe Programme(IEE) ~730 M€ Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme (EIP) ~2,170 B€

  3. ICT PSP • Funding programme that supports ICT Policy and Digital Agenda for Europe • To drive forward innovation through the wider uptake and best use of ICTs • Three main goals: • Develop the digital single market • Support innovation – wide adoption and investments in ICT • Improve quality of services and enable an inclusive information society

  4. ICT PSP – budget allocations • ~ 730 M€

  5. Who can participate? (1/2) All legal entities established in EU Member States or associated countries (Iceland, Lichtenstein, Norway, Croatia, Turkey, Serbia, Montenegro and FYROM) • National authorities (drivers in Pilot A and in PPI pilot, key users in Pilot B and TN) • Ministries, local and regional authorities • Public organisations – hospitals, schools, libraries

  6. Who can participate? (2/2) • Private companies including SMEs (mainly in Pilot B and TN as main actors) • As suppliers of innovation • Academia and public research • As experts and possible suppliers of innovations

  7. Annual work programme • Themes and objectives to be reached • Budget allocations per year • Funding instruments to be used • Rules for participation • Evaluation criteria • Calls for tenders and other measures

  8. Call 7 • Five themes: 19 objectives • Budget: 125,7 M€ (plus 10,8 M€ for call for tenders and other measures) • Launch: 21 December 2012 • Close: 14 May 2013 • Detailed information: http://ec.europa.eu/digital-agenda/en/ict-policy-support-programme

  9. Overview of Funding Instruments

  10. Funding Instruments • Pilot A - Building on initiatives in member states / associated countries • Pilot B - Stimulating innovative use of ICT in public & private sector • Thematic Networks – mobilization/exchange between practitioners and policy makers • Best Practice Networks – Combining consensus building / awareness raising / large scale implementation • PPI Pilot – supporting public procurement as a driver for the deployment of innovative solutions

  11. Pilot A (1/2) • Building on initiatives in member states / associated countries • Focus on interoperability • Lead actors – Member States / Associated countries (Industry key roles in implementation) • Outcome – open, common interoperable solution disseminated and available to all MS and AC – 1 project per objective • Minimum – 6 MS or AC (national administrations or competence centers acting on their behalf) • Duration – up to 36 months – pilot service to operate 12 months • EU contribution – costs for achieving interoperability – 5-10 M€ • 50% of direct and indirect costs (indirect cost is calculated as 30% flat rate of personnel cost)

  12. Pilot A (2/2) Specificities: • Intellectual property – publication and free accessibility of results • Possibility to subcontract co-ordination task • Reservation of budget for extension of consortium at application stage (budget to be set aside in the budget of the co-ordinator -should typically not exceed 15% of the total budget of the pilot)Possibility for launching competitive calls for participation • At contracting stage a consortium agreement needs to be concluded

  13. Pilot B (1/2) • Carry out an implementation of an ICT based innovative service under realistic conditions. • Emphasis on fostering innovation in services – e.g. take-up completed R&D work, extend already tested prototype services or combine / integrate several partial solutions to realise a new innovative approach • Particular attention to communicate and disseminate the pilot experience and outcomes in view of exploitation, replication or scaling up of piloted services • Minimum of 4 legal entities from different MS or AC • Consortia are expected to engage the complete service value chain, including relevant public authorities, service providers, industrial stakeholders and users

  14. Pilot B (2/2) • Duration – 24-36 months –operation of a pilot service min 6 months • EU contribution 2-3 M€ • 50% of direct and indirect costs (indirect cost is calculated as 30% flat rate of personnel cost)

  15. Thematic Networks (1/5) • Bring together stakeholders – explore new ways of implementing ICT based solutions • Working groups, workshops, exchanges of good practices in view of action plans, standards and specifications • Clearly defined and measurable results • Min 7 legal entities from 7 different MS or AC • Duration between 18-36 months • EC contribution 300-500 K€/network funded through lump sums (default) or actual cost (if specified in the workprogramme objective)

  16. Thematic Networks (2/5) • For Thematic Networks specified as actual cost funding in WP – funding up to 100% of eligible cost, but »“The financial contribution of the Union shall not finance the entire costs of the project. It shall be limited to the additional costs of coordinating and implementing the network”. » direct cost “… for beneficiaries other than the coordinator shall be limited to travel and subsistence expenses as well as personnel costs incurred for the elaboration of any of the deliverables described in Annex I” » indirect cost calculated as 7% of direct cost excluding subcontracting

  17. Thematic Networks (3/5) Lump sum Funding / Thematic Networks • Use of lump sums • Coordinator – lump sum for coordination (dependent on number of beneficiaries) • Other beneficiaries – lump sum for implementing the network • All – lump sum for attendance of meeting cost

  18. Thematic Networks (4/5) • Thematic network – lump sum Community financial contribution

  19. Thematic Networks (5/5) Thematic Network – lump sum Simplifications • No definition of eligible cost • No actual cost reporting • No justification of costs • No budget transfers • Only coordinator financially validated

  20. Best Practice Networks • Only for digital libraries theme • Promote the adoption of respective standards and specifications by combining the “consensus building and awareness raising” function of a network with large-scale implementation on a sufficient mass of content • The commission can organise “clustering meetings” in order to achieve broad consensus and create the conditions for the widest possible uptake of the recommendations of the BPNs • Min 7 legal entities from 7 different MS or AC • EU contribution 3-5 M€ per BPN • 80% of direct cost • No funding of indirect cost

  21. PPI Pilot (Public Procurement of innovative solutions) • Reinforces early deployment of innovative ICT solutions • Supports transnational groups of public (and possibly private) procurers to adopt innovative solutions • Results in first application of innovative ICT solutions • Min 3 mutually independent procurers from 3 different MS or AC, of which at least 2 are public procurers that are established as public bodies • Duration – 36 months • EU contribution – up to 5 M€ • 100% of direct coordination cost (up to 30% of total and max 1M€) • 20% of procurement price • Indirect cost is calculated as 7% flat rate of personnel cost

  22. Re-imbursement based on actual cost (Pilots, BPNs, actual cost TNs ) Eligible and non-eligible costs • Eligibility conditions include necessity, actually incurred during the duration of the project, recorded in the accounts Direct cost • Personnel directly hired by the beneficiary, under sole technical supervision, remunerated in accordance with normal practices • Subcontracting To be awarded according to the principle of best value for money under conditions of transparency and equal treatment • Other specific direct costs Indirect costs • Costs which cannot be identified as directly attributed to the project but incurred in direct relationship with the eligible costs • calculated on the basis of flat rates

  23. Actual Cost Funding For Pilot Type A and B • 50% of direct and indirect cost • Indirect cost is calculated as 30% flat rate of personnel cost For Best practice Networks • 80% of direct cost • No funding of indirect cost For PPI pilot • 100% of direct coordination cost (up to 30% of total and max 1M€) • 20% of procurement price • Indirect cost is calculated as 7% flat rate of personnel cost For Thematic Networks specified as actual cost funding in WP • – funding up to 100% of eligible cost, but »“The financial contribution of the Union shall not finance the entire costs of the project. It shall be limited to the additional costs of coordinating and implementing the network”. » direct cost “… for beneficiaries other than the coordinator shall be limited to travel and subsistence expenses as well as personnel costs incurred for the elaboration of any of the deliverables described in Annex I” » indirect cost calculated as 7% of direct cost excluding subcontracting

  24. Reporting and Payment conditions The consortium has 60 days after the end of reporting period to submit reports and the Commission has 90 days to pay Payment • Pre-financing – typically to cover 18 months • Interim • Final -payment of the balance Payments upon approval of reports and deliverables
