Fast Track to Innovation - FTI: cosa è?

Il FTI pilot (2015-2016) è l’unica misura pienamente “bottom-up” in Horizon 2020 finalizzato a promuovere le c.d. “azioni/innovazioni vicine al mercato” ed aperto a qualsiasi tipo di partecipante

General Annexes

TECHNOLOGY READINESS LEVEL

Idee progettuali: esempi

11

1. Development of a new drug: should have already been tested in Phase 1 -> Phase 2 clinical studies will be funded

2. Medical devices: Class III device safety has been demonstrated -> final

product design validation and final prototype production and testing will be funded

3. Scale-up and initiate validation of GMP manufacturing process 4. Validation of assays for manufacturing quality control and

immunogenicity

Attività progettuali: esempi

12

• Advanced and specific research and development

• Advanced performance testing

• Piloting

• Demonstration activities

• Final validation of a system in the operational environment

• Business model validation

• Marketing activities (not purely commercial)

• Activities for strategic commercial and technical relevance

Il processo di valutazione (1)

15

• Solo da remoto

• Panel di 4 valutatori (expertise commerciale e finanziaria)

• No consensus meetings

• ESR molto sintetici media aritmetica delle 4 valutazioni

• Brevi feedback ai proponenti

• Soglia minima:

• Totale = 12/15

• Sul Criterio dell’Impatto = 4/5

16

Il processo di valutazione (2)

• Le proposte che non raggiungono la soglia di 12/15 non sono finanziabili

• Le proposte che non raggiungono la soglia di 4/5 sull’Impatto non sono finanziabili

• In caso di parità di punteggio sarà data preferenza ad una proposta sulla base dei seguenti indicatori:

– Value of 'Impact' criterion

– Size of budget allocated to SMEs

– Number of first-time industry applicants

– Number of industry participants

– Gender balance of consortium staff performing the proposed action
