Normal procurement policy is Open Competition • Annual workplan with regular updatings. • Winning GSP activites provides companies with a priviledged view of needed technology developments (under GSTP, ARTES…) and a priviledged position to play key roles in the future missions. HIGHLY WELCOME BY THE DELEGATION!!!!

8. Technology Research Programme (TRP) Top level priorities and objectives • Basic technologies development programme: TRL 1 - 3 • Usual Procurement Policy: Open Competition Possible participation of companies as well as research institutes. • Programme charged to the general budget (around 40 m€ in 2006) • Three years workplan with regular updatings. Current workplan ends in 2007. It is internally prepared by ESA, taking into account several inputs. Among them : • Harmonisation process Collaboration of industries is welcome • TRP is the natural entry door to other ESA programmes ( mainly GSTP for continuing technolgy developments)!!!!
