2. Private Public Partnerships from 2010-2013 Industry • €2.2billion has been committed to a new EU R&D initiative towards some of the most traditional EU sectors in response to the recession • €1.2bn – Factories of the Future (Manufacturing industry) • €1.0bn – Energy Efficient Buildings • www.fp7ireland.com

3. European Funding for R&D  Framework Programme 7 • FP7 is the EU mechanism to fund collaborative ‘Research and Development’ work among entities in EU member states. • FP7 runs from 2007 – 2013 • Universities, SMEs, MCNs and Individuals can participate in the different areas of the programme. • Funding rates for FP7 vary but, all in all, are the most generous R&D programme in the world. • http://cordis.europa.eu/home_en.html

4. Framework Programme 7 • Budget is over €50 Billion • Covers Four Specific Research Programme. Cooperation (€32.202 Billion); Ideas (€7.460 Billion); People (€4.577 Billion); Capacities (€4.193 Billion). • €2.2billion has been committed from FP7 to a new EU initiative in response to the recession on some of the most traditional EU sectors – Private Public Partnerships from 2010-2013 • €1.2bn – Factories of the Future (Manufacturing) • €1.0bn – Energy Efficient Buildings • €1.0bn – Green Cars • Collaborative projects run for 2-4 years depending of the programme. • Typical funding for an SME varies from €100-400k, number of partners 7-10. • SMEs and MNCs are an essential part of a consortium

6. Industry participating in FP7: Taste for the NMP programme [sub-sub-section of FP7]

7. Steps to participate • Contact your FP7 National Contact Point in your area: www.fp7ireland.com • Identify a topic you would like to work on • Identify your partners/coordinator in a consortium • Prepare your proposal – avail of National funding for proposal preparation (http://www.fp7ireland.com/Page.aspx?SP=225) • Submit – Project evaluation, project kick off ~ 4-5 months

8. Jan-Oct year 1-3 results (Ireland) ICT, health and NMP account for 65% of the funding (EU leverage €152,681M) 1. Information & Communication Technologies (€35,364,774); 2. Marie Curie (€27,701,053); 3. Health (€16,387,087); and 4. Nanoscience, Nanotechnology, Materials & Production Processes (€12,271,610).

9. Benefits for a Company/Academic to get in Specific technological opportunities to participate in a growing community which will benefit Industry through networking, give access to European supply chain (ie. ACCIONA, DRAGADOS), be a “magnet” to attract and retain the best staff (salaries for people on the ground paid), provide access to research expertise in multimillion euro activities, provide access to new customers e.g. European Technology Platforms, leverage of scale for networking, expertise, access to markets, potential to collaborate and potentially do business with some of the worlds best organisations across 27 EU countries. Provide opportunities to collaborate on new ICT technologies, business opportunities and to work on research and development of highly innovative cutting edge technologies and applications (e.g. Small companies can have access to networking, innovation, leading-edge expertise and knowledge otherwise unavailable), acquire new technical knowledge and expertise, build on and enhance your project management expertise, strengthen investment in “in company” Research and Development, challenging and exciting projects, potential for Intellectual Property development
