Outline of presentation

FP6 Overview

• Participation

• Implementation


IST in FP6: Key elements

• Main objectives– Strengthening Europe’s competitiveness & technology base

– Building the information and knowledge society for ALL

• Strategy– Concentration and focus, building critical mass

– Capitalise on Europe’s strengths

– Visionary, forward looking (longer term / high risk)

– Combine flexibility with greater speed in implementation

– Scope of activities: Core technologies & “pull-through” applications


Instruments for “priority areas”

• “New” instruments --- “Integrated Projects” ---“Networks of Excellence”

• Characterised by capacity to …. – mobilise critical mass necessary to achieve ambitious objectives

– produce structuring & integrating effects ….on the fabric of European research

• Calls for proposals will identify ….. – which instruments are to be used,

– which have priority …. and for what


Integrated Projects - purpose

• Designed to support research that is ….. objective and result driven– clearly defined objectives and results

• Each IP should – integrate the types of activities needed to obtain the goals

– integrate the critical mass of resources needed to obtain the goals

– integrate all elements of technology chain to attain high-impact goals

– support industry-academia collaboration including SME’s *


Networks of Excellence (NoE) - objectives

• To reinforce scientific and technological excellence

• By integrating research capacities across Europe and world-wide.

• To progress knowledge on a particular theme

• To act as a “Virtual Centre of Excellence” (VL)

Calls for Proposals / Consultorias

The proposal selection follows a very specific procedure (different tools, rules for submission, identification of Calls…)

Sixth Framework Programme is subdivided in distinct Calls for Proposals.

Each Call is covering a given number of research priorities

First FP6 call December 2002 Pushing the limits of CMOS, preparing for post-CMOSMicro and nano-systemsBroadband for allMobile and wireless systems beyond 3GTowards a global dependability and security frameworkMultimodal interfaces Semantic-based knowledge systemsNetworked audiovisual systems and home platformsNetworked businesses and governments eSafety of road and air transportse Health Technology-enhanced learning and access to cultural heritage

Second Call 15 October 2003Advanced displaysOptical, opto-electronic, & photonic functional componentsOpen development platforms for software and servicesCognitive systemsEmbedded systemsApplications and services for the mobile user and workerCross-media content for leisure and entertainmentGRID-based Systems for solving complex problemsImproving Risk managementeInclusion

Identification of the Call for proposals and Careful selection of the instruments (tools) are essential Key Success Factors.


Instruments for “Priority Areas”

• Integrated Projects– Objective driven

• Networks of Excellence– Exploratory research

• Targeted research projects– (address specific issues)

• Co-ordination actions

• Support Actions

No longer available ….. - Individual Take-up Actions

- SME Exploratory Awards

Two Priorities: INTEGRATION & EXCELLENCE


Proyectos integrados (PI)• Objetivo: Movilización de recursos en torno a objetivos concretos

(productos, procesos, servicios) dirigidos a mejorar la competitividad europea o a resolver problemas de la sociedad, generando el conocimiento requerido para implementar las prioridades temáticas.

• Actividades: Actividades de demostración; transferencia de tecnología; formación; difusión de resultados; contratación de sub-proyectos específicos de complementación

• Duración: 3 a 5 años.

• Asociación: Mínimo de 3 participantes de Estados Miembros o Asociados


Integrated Project - what is critical mass?

• Resource wise (Open): – will have the necessary size to achieve its ambitious objectives

– budget may range up to millions of € (no minimum threshold, provided necessary ambition & critical mass is achieved)

• Partnership wise (Open): – minimum 3 participants from three different countries

(but in practice likely to be substantially more)

• Duration wise (Open):– typically three to five years

(more if necessary to deliver the objectives)

In a typical integrated project, more than 25 partners receive almost 10 M€ for a period of 3-4 years to which they add an equivalent amount as the Community funds only 50% of the costs.


Integrated Projects - flexibility & autonomy

• For the implementation plan, each year– consortium will propose detailed plans for the coming 18 months

– and may propose to update the overall plan

(both need approval of the Commission to enter into force)

• For the Community contribution– the contract may not specify its distribution between participants

nor between activities

• For changes in the consortium– the consortium may decide to take in new participants

(without additional funding)

– the contract will specify when the addition of new participantsmust involve a competitive call

– competitive call by Commission to add tasks and funding


• Objetivo: Integración duradera de las capacidades de los grupos de investigación, construyendo una masa crítica de recursos y conocimientos para conseguir un liderazgo europeo en un área. Se agrupan en torno a un programa conjunto de actividades.

• Actividades: Intercambio de personal; trabajo a distancia; formación; transferencia de tecnología; integración de grupos.

• Duración: Menos de 5 años.

• Asociación: Mínimo de 3 participantes de Estados Miembros o Asociados.

Redes de Excelencia (RE)


Network of Excellence - main features

• “Virtual” centre of Excellence– a clearly identified “Joint Programme of Activity” (JPA)

(RTD, training, transfer, mobility... )

– established or emerging fields

• Size– Several M€ per year (average1-2M)– Participants

• minimum of 3: Universities, Research Labs, Industrial Labs • bringing together a “critical mass” of key actors• universities, research centres, enterprises (SME’s & large companies)• Research oriented


NoE - implementation • Selection on the basis of calls for proposals• Large degree of autonomy

– possibility to modify plans and allocation of work – possibility to launch a call for participation

• Funding– grant for integration– should be essentially dedicated to the JPA (work programme) – 7% Management– funding is defined by the number of researchers involved (20 000 euro)


Proyectos Específicos de Investigación Focalizada

• Objetivo: Mejorar la competitividad y la resolución de problemas concretos, desarrollo o validación de nuevas tecnologías, procesos, productos o servicios.

• Actividades: Actividades de investigación, demostración, innovación, y formación.

• Duración: 2 a 3 años.

• Asociación: Mínimo de 3 participantes de Estados Miembros o Asociados


Targeted RTD projects

• Principle: focused on one specific activity & specific results– by supporting research activities of more limited scope & ambition than Integrated Projects

• Similar to current RTD contracts– research (50%)– demonstration (35%)– combined research & demonstration

• Participation: at least two independent organisations– from at least two Member States or Associated States– more limited than for Integrated Projects– particularly for smaller research actors, including SME’s and for participants from

candidate countries– Joint and several financial liability

Research themes


Environmental modelling

Modelling of the biosphere with more and more biotic and abiotic components will be a great challenge.

Climatic research (space weather included) with models in different scales and different resolution will require new architectures with access to distributed resources.

Branch oriented simulation systems will be the adequate software tools, allowing flexible adaptation to the special structure and data of complex environmental systems


Environmental Applications

Complexity (dimension(s), structure(s))

Scale (amount of data, distribution, heterogeneity)

Modelling for different purposes (scenario analysis, emergency response, risk management, etc…)

Need for adaptability (coupling of models, parameter adjustment, etc)

Longevity of data, applicability to different purposes


Research Priorities

» Parallel, distributed and Grid computing

» Knowledge from data, decision support

» Intelligent/adaptive user interfaces & visualisation

» Standardisation of metadata and system interfaces

» Genericity of information and simulation systems

» Workflows for automatic access to distributed resources
