COMPETITIVE AND SUSTAINABLE GROWTH Science, research and development European Commission Søren Bøwadt, M&T,I Workshop on Virtual Institutes 28th of Sept Virtual Institutes First Experiences from Evaluations of Expressions of Interest and Proposals Søren Bøwadt Measurement & Testing, Infrastructure

COMPETITIVE AND SUSTAINABLE GROWTH Science, research and development European Commission Søren Bøwadt, M&T,I Workshop on Virtual Institutes 28th of Sept What should a Virtual Institute achieve? Rapid transfer and exploitation of research results Yield support to industry (including SME’s) Link geographically scattered complementary research facilities and industrial elements to form a unity Create strong marked oriented networks between academia, industry, research centers and institutes (Disseminate RTD results to standardisation bodies)

COMPETITIVE AND SUSTAINABLE GROWTH Science, research and development European Commission Søren Bøwadt, M&T,I Workshop on Virtual Institutes 28th of Sept What could a Virtual Institute do? Provide services on a commercial basis to industry, governmental and international bodies Connect industries to the most appropriate and efficient research facility (research broker) Establish the “state of the art” within the specific area of the VI Identify future research needs (e.g. long-term projections) Act as information center for research results Facilitate mobility among researchers between universities, research centers and industry (Note! Funding for mobility is not provided through the Thematic Network contract) Facilitate the connection of partners for future research activities/proposals (partner search facility)

COMPETITIVE AND SUSTAINABLE GROWTH Science, research and development European Commission Søren Bøwadt, M&T,I Workshop on Virtual Institutes 28th of Sept Re-iteration of the Key Elements of a Virtual Institute Strong knowledge and technology based network Sound business plan Strong management Sound legal structure Wide European coverage and accessibility (global reach)

COMPETITIVE AND SUSTAINABLE GROWTH Science, research and development European Commission Søren Bøwadt, M&T,I Workshop on Virtual Institutes 28th of Sept Expression of Interest - Time Table

COMPETITIVE AND SUSTAINABLE GROWTH Science, research and development European Commission Søren Bøwadt, M&T,I Workshop on Virtual Institutes 28th of Sept Steps of Evaluation Procedure for Expressions of Interest (EoI) Expert collects Supporting Document + Evaluation Form  Assessment Moderator collates these views  Discussion by the Experts + Moderator if necessary (Changes and merging of EoI’s are performed if recommended by the experts) Moderator prepares Consensus Report Consensus Report is agreed upon and signed by the Experts Verification by Head of Unit  Task completed

COMPETITIVE AND SUSTAINABLE GROWTH Science, research and development European Commission Søren Bøwadt, M&T,I Workshop on Virtual Institutes 28th of Sept Evaluation of EoI’s Within the scope of the Growth programme Priority of the need and relation to the workprogramme (very high/high/medium/low) Quality of the supporting documents: - Suitable as received/minor revisions - Suitable with improvements/clarifications - Not suitable

COMPETITIVE AND SUSTAINABLE GROWTH Science, research and development European Commission Søren Bøwadt, M&T,I Workshop on Virtual Institutes 28th of Sept Evaluation of EoI’s - Common Selection Criteria Evaluation by 3-4 independent experts: (Scientific & technical excellence, innovation) Community added value Answering to the needs of society Economic development and S&T perspectives (Resources, partnership, management)
