FAQs about Network of Excellence (1/3) In what way does a NoE differ from the Thematic Network funded in the 5FP or CA? In what way does a NoE differ from the Thematic Network funded in the 5FP or CA? TN or CA funded the coordination of the activities of specific research and development projects for a particular purpose over a pre-determined period of time. NoE is intended to fund the restructuring of a whole research sector, so that the sector works more efficiently, shares resources and eliminates duplication of activities, and it is intended it should do this on a permanent basis

FAQs about Network of Excellence (2/3) What does an NoE actually do ? What does an NoE actually do ? Coordinates and integrates the activities of the members of the network, arranging for the sharing of resources between them and the cutting out of duplication. Carries out: - specific research and development tasks defined in the Joint Programme of Activities (JPA) which it included in its proposal - activities to spread excellence, for example training of researchers and other key staff, and dissemination and technology transfer to industry - activities to spread excellence, for example training of researchers and other key staff, and dissemination and technology transfer to industry

FAQs about Network of Excellence (3/3) Is the project funding increased if a new partner joins ? No automatic increase in funding to cover new partners. Is the project funding increased if a new partner joins ? No automatic increase in funding to cover new partners. If there is no extra money, why should we want to expand the network ? One of the main goals of an NoE is to spread excellence throughout its research sector; incorporating new partners is the most obvious way to do this. Also organisations sometimes find that they have overestimated the amount of funding they can really invest in integration activities, so joining the consortia may allow you to exploit the available grant.
