1. VO JointCall 2 6 th May 04 1 IST Priority - National Contact Point meeting Brussels, 6 th May 2004 2nd Joint Call IST/NMP Evangelos OUZOUNIS European Commission – DG Information Society Directorate C

2. VO JointCall 2 6 th May 04 2 Presentation outline Why a joint call? What is under the 2nd joint call? Nanoelectronics, nanophotonics Biosensors Manufacturing Conclusions – on joint call IMS - Intelligent Manufacturing Systems

3. VO JointCall 2 6 th May 04 3 Why a Joint Call?  Synergies –Areas of relevance to both, IST & NMP –Bundle resources for inter-disciplinary R&D, avoid gaps, overlaps, duplications of effort –Joint Call involves several IST and NMP units in common domains –Need to fulfil int’l commitments (e.g. launch IMS projects)  In particular in the 2nd Joint Call –Three areas of complementarity between IST & NMP (nano-, biosensors, manufacturing/IMS) –Joint Call areas identified in IST and NMP WP2004 A tradition... –Continuation of good collaboration between IST & GROWTH programmes of FP5 (IMS) –Both IST and NMP value the importance of ICTs in developing further and maintaining a “knowledge-driven industrial base” for Europe

VO JointCall 2 6 th May 04 6 Joint Call - Area 1 R&D focus: –Advanced control and networking of embedded systems for dynamic reconfiguration of complex manufacturing processes –Multidisciplinary and dynamic work environments facilitating multi-stakeholder involvement and life cycle management of manufacturing systems, products and services –Innovative approaches to customisation fulfilment, logistics and maintenance via mobile miniature and wireless devices or smart tags Funding: 60 M€ Instruments: IP, STREP (radical innovation, international cooperation, IMS), SSA Integrating Technologies for Fast & Flexible Manufacturing IST Strategic Objective: “Products & Services Engineering 2010” int’l R&D collaboration (IMS) Objective To support European leadership in engineering & manufacturing

7. VO JointCall 2 6 th May 04 7 Joint Call: other details Call identifier: FP6-2004-IST-NMP-2 Publication: beginning of June 2004 Deadline: 14 October 2004 at 17h00 Submission in a single stage (+ hearings for IP) See all relevant call documents, when published, in: http://fp6.cordis.lu/fp6/calls_open.cfm

8. VO JointCall 2 6 th May 04 8 Joint Call: Conclusions  The rationale for the Joint Call is manifold: –an opportunity to create synergies within FP6 –at the initiative of IST and NMP priorities in FP6 (WP2004) –a need to launch international activities  New focus areas (2 and 3): –nano-electronics & nano-photonics –bio-sensors for diagnosis and healthcare Manufacturing area: –need to put emphasis on IMS-relevant projects (mainly STREPs – or IP) –need to support ICT competence in manufacturing
