4. Poznan 19 April 2005 European Research Area (ERA) This is a general concept proposed by the Commission and endorsed by the European Parliament and Council to overcome the present fragmentation of Europe efforts in the area of research and innovation. The concept comprises: organising co-operation at different levels, co-ordinating national or European policies, networking teams and increasing the mobility of individuals and ideas.

5. Poznan 19 April 2005 Framework Programme Since 1984, research and innovation activities of the EU are grouped in one big programme, the Framework Programme. Framework Programmes are conceived for a period of 4 years. The Sixth Framework Programme is the European Community Framework Programme for Research, Technological Development and Demonstration 2002-2006. FP6 is the main instrument of the European Communities for the realisation of the European Research Area (ERA).

8. Poznan 19 April 2005 Co-operative research projects are projects whereby a number of Small or Medium-Sized Enterprises (SME) assign scientific and technological research activities to RTD performers (e.g. to research centres or universities). These activities may also be carried out by innovative and high-tech SMEs in co-operation with research centres and universities. The SMEs retain ownership of the results. Continuing Instrument Co-operative Research (CRAFT)

9. Poznan 19 April 2005 Collective Research They are carried out by RTD performers (research institutes, universities etc.) on behalf of business associations or industry groupings in order to expand the knowledge base of large communities of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs). Ownership and exploitation of the results lie with the industrial associations. Continuing Instruments

10. Poznan 19 April 2005 STREPs are multi partner research or demonstration projects with the purpose of supporting research, technological development and demonstration activities. They are projects of a more limited scope and ambition than Integrated Projects (IPs). The Community contribution is paid as a grant to the budget (percentage of total costs of the project). STREPs are used in implementing the priority thematic areas, in other areas supporting Community policies and anticipating scientific and technological needs, in specific international co-operation research activities, and in research activities developing harmonious relations between science and society Specific Targeted Research Projects (STREP) - Shared-cost research projects or Demonstration projects from FP5 New Instruments

11. Poznan 19 April 2005 They are intended to promote and support the networking and coordination of research and innovation activities. They will cover:  the definition, organisation and management of joint or common initiatives  organisation of conferences and meetings,  the performance of studies,  exchange of personnel,  the exchange and dissemination of good practices,  setting up common information systems and expert groups. Coordination Action (CA) – Concerted actions and Thematic Networks in FP5 New Instruments

12. Poznan 19 April 2005 SSA are an instrument of FP6 aiming to contribute actively to the implementation of activities of the work programme, the analysis and dissemination of results or the preparation of future activities. Specific Support Actions (SSA) - Accompanying Measures from V FP conferences, seminars, studies and analysis, working and expert groups, operational support and dissemination of information and communication, or combinations thereof. SSA can include: The activities of a specific support action will be supported through a grant to the budget of up to 100% of the budget. New Instruments

13. Poznan 19 April 2005 Integrated Projects (IP) are one of the new instruments of FP6. An IP is a trans-national multi-partner project with the main aim to generate knowledge in the priority thematic areas of FP6. Integrated projects have to include research and technological development activities and can in addition have demonstration, training and innovation-related activities. Integrated Projects (IP) New Instruments

14. Poznan 19 April 2005 Network of Excellences are an instrument to overcome the fragmentation of the European research landscape with the objective to strengthen European excellence in a given area. Their purpose is to reach a durable restructuring/shaping and integration of efforts and institutions or part of institutions (laboratories, departments, units, teams …) in areas where this is necessary. Networks of excellence (NoE) New Instruments
