EU IST - FP6 • Opportunities in the 5th call • Athens – 13 April 2005OMG TC MeetingEnterprise Interoperability Information Day • Francesco NachiraEuropean CommissionDG-INFSO - Unit D5 : ICT for Enterprise NetworkingHead of Sector “Technologies for Digital Ecosystems”
Overview • FP6 - Instruments ( IP - NoE - STREPs - CA - SSA ) • FP6 - Previous Calls - Workprogr. 2003-04 - lessons • FP6 - Call 5 - Workprogramme 2004-06 - open S.Obj • ICT for Enterprise networking • Clusters • Interoperability Cluster • Digital Ecosystem Cluster • Research trends and FP7
Instruments in IST • The IST Priority funds five sorts of project • Integrated Projects (IPs) and Specific Targeted Research Projects (STREPs) are aimed at generating, demonstrating and validating new knowledge by means of research and development • Networks of Excellence (NoEs) are aimed at the durable integration of the participants’ activities/capacities • Coordination Actions (CAs) and Specific Support Actions (SSAs) are aimed at supporting collaboration and coordination, and other activities such as conferences and studies
Instruments in IST - IPs • Integrated Projects - IPs
Integrated projects - objectives • IPs are designed to generate the knowledge required to implement the priority thematic areas of FP6 • by integrating the critical mass of activities and resources needed • to achieve ambitious, clearly defined scientific and technological objectives of a European dimension • Each IP should • integrate the types of activities needed to obtain the goals • integrate the critical mass of resources needed to obtain the goals • integrate elements of the development chain to attain high-impact goals • support industry-academia collaboration including SMEs
Integrated projects - activities • Activities in an Integrated project may cover a broad spectrum e.g. • research and technology development activities • demonstration activities • technology transfer or take-up activities • training activities • dissemination activities • knowledge management and exploitation • consortium management activities • cooperation with other programmes (e.g. Eureka)... • An Integrated Project comprises • a coherent set of activities • and an appropriate management structure
Integrated projects - experience • FP6 experience of Integrated projects: • Purpose: Ambitious objective driven research with a ‘programme approach’ • Target audience: Industry (incl. SMEs), research institutions. Universities – and in some cases potential end-users • Typical duration: 36-60 months • Optimum consortium: 10-20 participants • Total EU contribution: €4-25m (average around €10m) • Flexibility in implementation: Yearly update of workplan • Possibility for competitive calls for enlargement of consortium
Integration along the innovation cycle Best practice IP Take-up, trials Industry driven research Basic research Adoption Time
Integrated projects • • Scale of ambition is limited, reflected in limited activities, duration, size of consortium more typical of a STREP • • Goals are ambitious. The proposers include key industry players. A full range of activities covering a substantial part of the development chain is envisaged. Broad industry sector impact is foreseen. SME participation has been sought/achieved. Effective project management plans are in place
Instruments in IST - NoE • Networks of Excellence • NoEs
Networks of excellence - objectives • NoEs are an instrument to overcome the fragmentation of the European research landscape in a given area • Their purpose is to reach a durable restructuring/shaping and integration of efforts and institutions or parts of institutions • The success of an NoE is not measured in terms of scientific results but by the extent to which, NoEs remove barriers to integration; to durably "institutionalise" the links between the institutions involved, restructuring the researchers activities and organisation structure in a given field
Networks of excellence - activities • The Joint programme of activities contains a range of “additional” activities: • Integrating activities • coordinated programming of the partners’ activities • sharing of research platforms/tools/facilities • joint management of the knowledge portfolio • staff mobility and exchanges • relocation of staff, teams, equipment • reinforced electronic communication systems • Joint research activities • a programme of joint research to support the network’s goals • Development of new research tools and platforms for common use • Generating new knowledge to fill gaps in or extend the collective knowledge portfolio • Activities to spread excellence • training researchers and other key staff • dissemination and communication activities • networking activities to help transfer knowledge to trams external to the network
Networks of excellence - experience • FP6 experience of NoE projects: • Purpose: Durable integration of participants’ research activities • Target audience: research institutions, universities, Mainly indirectly: industry – trough governing boards etc • Typical duration: 48-60 months (but indefinite integration!) • Optimum consortium: 6-12 participants • Total EU contribution: €4-15m (average around €7m) • Flexibility: Yearly update of the work plan • Possibility to add participants through competitive calls
Networks of excellence • • Proposal for ad hoc co-operation between organisations for a specific purpose - no evidence of durable integration. The participants are going to continue to work as they have always done with no significant changes of structures, portfolios and organisations • • The research area is fragmented and would gain in excellence by re-structuring; and all the participants intend to undertake a major effort to re-structure and re-organise the way research in the area is carried out in Europe and establish durable integration of their research capacities
Instruments in IST - STREPs • Specific Targeted Research Projects • STREPs
Specific Targeted REsearch Projects -obj. • Designed to generate the knowledge required to improve European competitiveness and to meet the needs of society or Community policies: • by improving existing or developing new products, processes or services and/or • by proving the viability of new technologies offering potential economic advantage • May combine any of the following types of activities: • Targeted, well defined and precisely focused research and technological development • Demonstration component(s) as appropriate • Project management
Specific Targeted REsearch Proj.- experience • FP6 experience of STREP projects: • Purpose: Objective driven research more limited in scope than an IP • Target audience: Industry incl. SMEs, research institutes, universities • Typical duration: 18-36 months • Optimum consortium: 6-15 participants • Total EU contribution: €0.8-3m (average around €1.9m) • Fixed workplan and fixed partnership for duration
Specific Targeted REsearch Projects • • The work is unoriginal, not scientifically and technically excellent • • A well-focused and well-planned research project by capable partners which will extend the state-of-the-art
Instruments in IST - CAs • Co-ordination Actions • CAs
Coordination actions - objectives • Designed to promote and support the networking and co-ordination of research and innovation activities at national, regional and European level over a fixed period • by establishing in a coherent way coordinated initiatives of a range of research and innovation operators, in order to achieve improved integration of the European research • May combine the following two types of activities • Co-ordination activities • Consortium management activities • (Coordination actions do not conduct S&T research !)
Coordination actions - activitives • Each CA shall consist of a work plan, incorporating all or some of the following types of mid/long term collaborative activities: • Organisation of conferences, of meetings; • Performance of studies, analysis; • Exchanges of personnel; • Exchange and dissemination of good practice; • Setting up of common information systems • Setting up of expert groups; • Definition, organisation, management of joint or common initiatives
Coordination actions - experience • FP6 experience of CA projects: • Purpose: Co-ordination of research activities • Target Audience: Research institutions, universities, industry incl. SME • Typical duration: 18-36 months • Optimum consortium: 13-26 participants • Total EU contribution: €0.5-1.8m (average around €1m) • Fixed overall workplan and partnership for the duration
Coordination actions • • The work is “stand alone”, it doesn’t involve real cooperation and networking • The added value of coordinating the activities isn’t evident, or it isn’t to the benefit of IST • • Clear added value to the IST Priority. Projects/activities to be coordinated are ongoing, they are doing quality work and their motivation to participate is clear
