First Class Support for Excellence in Research 11 Budget of the 3rd Call Indicative Call budget: M Demonstration and integration projects ~60% (50-70%), Capability projects, Coordination and support actions (incl. Demo phase 1) and Networks of Excellence ~40% (50-70%) Up to ~3% for international cooperation and up to ~3% for ERA-NET

First Class Support for Excellence in Research 12 Security Research specific issues: Up to 75% funding Active involvement of end-users Sensitive activities and information Ethical principles

First Class Support for Excellence in Research 13 Up to 75% funding Collaborative Project funding scheme Community funding for research activities may reach a maximum of 75%: –Very limited market size and a risk of "market failure", –and for accelerated equipment development in response to new threats. Proposers need to demonstrate this requirement in their proposal Demonstration activities are excluded.

First Class Support for Excellence in Research 14 End-users Active involvement of end users in the consortia is considered of utmost importance. Whenever possible, this should translate into a direct participation of user organisations in the consortium implementing research actions.

First Class Support for Excellence in Research 15 Collaborative projects: Capability projects (small and medium-scale projects) Integration projects (large-scale integrating projects) Demonstration projects phase 2 (large scale systems of systems demonstrations) Coordination and support actions (including Demo phase 1) Networks of Excellence Funding schemes for the 3rd Call

First Class Support for Excellence in Research 16 Carry out research aiming at large scale integration, validation and demonstration of new security systems of systems going significantly beyond the state of art. They depend upon the compatible, complementary and interoperable development of requisite system and technology building blocks of the integration projects and capability projects. They intend to promote the application of an innovative security solution, which implies a strong involvement of end users, taking into account the relevant legal and society related issues, and strong links to new standardisation. Implemented in two phases Demonstration programmes

First Class Support for Excellence in Research 17 Define the strategic roadmaps and trigger Europe wide awareness (involving strategic public and private end users and industry and research) The strategic roadmaps will take into account relevant completed, ongoing and planned work and indicate further research needs Duration: 1 – 1.5 years / Funding scheme: CSA Demonstration programmes (phase 1)

First Class Support for Excellence in Research 18 Technically implement the system of systems demonstration, taking into account steps which have to follow the research: certification and/or standardisation (if and as appropriate), development of marketable products and pre-procurement. Duration: up to 4 years / Funding scheme: CP Indicative EC funding > 20M Demonstration projects (phase 2)

First Class Support for Excellence in Research 19 Integration projects Integration projects are large-scale integrating Collaborative projects, which aim at combining mission specific individual capabilities providing a security system and to demonstrate its performance. Indicative total cost M, duration ~ 4 years Indicative EC funding > 3.5M

First Class Support for Excellence in Research 20 Capability projects CPs are small and medium scale collaborative projects aiming at building up and/or strengthening security capabilities in the required missions. This will be done by: adapting available technologies and developing security specific technology and knowledge aimed at tangible results. Indicative total cost 2-5 M, 2-4 years Indicative EC funding 3.5M

First Class Support for Excellence in Research 21 Networks of excellence Networks of excellence are designed for research institutions that wish to combine and functionally integrate in a durable way a substantial part of their activities and capacities in a given field, with a view to creating in this field a European virtual centre of research No indicative total cost or duration (very exceptional cases > 5 years)

First Class Support for Excellence in Research 22 Coordination and support actions CSA can be either supporting or coordinating: Co-ordination (or networking) actions aim at coordinating research activities and policies. Support actions aim at contributing to the implementation of the FP and to prepare future research policy or - to develop synergies with other policies or - to stimulate, encourage and facilitate the participation of SMEs, civil society organisations, small research teams, etc or - to set up research-intensive clusters across the EU regions. Support actions often focus on one specific activity and on one specific event. Indicative total cost M, years (up to 100% EC funding)
