Community Research Programmes
• Objectives (Article 163 Amsterdam Treaty)– to strengthen the European research potential– to promote the competitiveness of European industry– to support Community policies
• From FP V (1998-2002) to ERA and FP VI (2002-2006)

SME definition
An SME is an enterprise which:
• has fewer than 250 employees
• has either, an annual turnover not exceeding 50 M€ or an annual balance sheet total not exceeding 43 M€
• conforms to the criteria of independence. An independent SME is not owned for 25 % or more of the capital or the voting rights by one enterprise or jointly by several enterprises falling outside the definition of an SME. (some exceptions: VC funds; research institutions)
• full definition on: http://europa.eu.int/comm/enterprise/enterprise_policy/sme_definition/index_en.htm
FP6 provides SMEs with:
Simplification: 10 model-contracts (currently 33), Same rules applicable to all
Flexibility: Participation (from the start of project or inclusion at a later stage)
Autonomy for participants: within the framework of the rules, organisation of relations within the consortium is a matter for participants themselves

Tips for Proposers
Proposal Phase•Read and digest the Guide for Proposers and the Workprogramme
•Ask questions: Help desk, Scientific Officers
•Learn from model proposals
•Choose carefully your partners
•Plan Realistic (not optimistic) budget
•Respect call deadline
Evaluation: SME & Innovation
1) RelevanceProjects needs to “address the objectives of the workprogramme” (e.g. specific relevance for SMEs, competitiveness, etc)
2) Potential impact“..project is suitably ambitious in terms of strategic impact on reinforcing competitiveness (including that of SMEs) …”“the innovation-related activities and exploitation and/or dissemination plans are adequate to ensure optimal use of the project results”
Evaluation: SME & Innovation
3) Scientific&technological excellence“the proposed S&T approach is likely to enable the project to achieve its objectives in research and innovation”
4) Quality of the consortium“the real involvement of SMEs has been adequately addressed”
5) Quality of the management“ ..satisfactory plan for the management of knowledge, of intellectual property and of other innovation related activities”
