Instruments: Rationale Higher integration and building critical mass Higher integration and building critical mass –Realising ERA Simplifications of procedures Simplifications of procedures Larger autonomy Larger autonomy –higher responsibility for the consortium Higher flexibility Higher flexibility

FP6: 3 (+1+1) instruments for “priority areas” Integrated Projects Integrated Projects –Objective driven Networks of Excellence Networks of Excellence –Exploratory research Article 169 Article 169 –Member states initiative + Targeted research projects... + Targeted research projects... –Address specific issues + Co-ordination activities + Co-ordination activities Speaking notes + feedback: Introduction to the instruments available for implementing the FP6 priority thematic areas

Integrated projects: characteristics Integration Integration –All elements of technology chain to attain high-impact goals –Different type of activities: RTD, technology transfer, training, dissemination, demonstration…RTD, technology transfer, training, dissemination, demonstration… –Global funding involving public & private funds Size Size –The necessary size to attain its goals Participation Participation –3 legal entities at least (2 from MSs) – minimum can be changed in the WP –supports industry-academia collaboration including SMEs

IPs: implementation Selection on a call for proposal basis Selection on a call for proposal basis –possible call for expression of interests, to select themes Large degree of autonomy Large degree of autonomy –Allocations of budgets –P ossibility to launch calls for participation Subsequent calls for additional “tasks” and funding by the Commission Subsequent calls for additional “tasks” and funding by the Commission Funding Funding –Grant to the budget up to 50% –Different ceilings depending on the activity

IPs : Three possible implementations “Monolithic” Partners known at outset Tasks identified budget known “Incremental” participation Tasks identified budget known not all participants are in “Incremental” funding objectives known technology roadmap known tasks to be completed budget to be changed Participants as well Working document + feedback: Provisions for implementing Integrated Projects

Networks of Excellence (NoEs): characteristics “Virtual” centre of excellence “Virtual” centre of excellence –brings together the research effort on a particular topic –a clearly identified “joint programme of activity” –established or emerging fields Size Size –Several MEuro funding per year for the “Integrated effort” –Support to different types of activities: RTD, training, transfer, mobility...RTD, training, transfer, mobility... Participants Participants –Minimum 3: Universities, Research Labs, Industrial Labs Special Measures planned for SME’s

NoEs: Implementation Selection on the basis of calls for proposals Selection on the basis of calls for proposals Large degree of autonomy Large degree of autonomy –Possibility to modify plans and allocation of work –possibility to launch a call for participation Funding Funding –Grant for integration –Up to 25% of total effort that is put together Working document + feedback: Provisions for implementing Networks of Excellence
