H. Rajbenbach
Nano-photonic and nanoelectronic (joint call)
R&D focus:- Nano-electronic and Nano-photonic materials, related
fabrication processes and their functional validation inmanufacturable integrated devices;
- Non-conventional nano-MOS logic and memory devices, photonics/nano-electronics integration technologies for functional devices, and production technologies;
Materials, equipment & processes for productionof nano-photonics & nano-electronics devices
Objective To master nanoelectronics & nanophotonicsat industrial scale
H. Rajbenbach
Progress towards the ERA (call 3)
Activities include:- Roadmapping of technologies- Benchmarking of national, regional and European
research- Development of long-term shared visions...
Objective: Improved networking and co-ordination of National, Regional and European Research
policies

Call 5 on Photonics (2005) - Trends
H. Rajbenbach
More integration:“photonic system on a chip”“Nanoelectronics / Nanophotonics integration”
More emphasize on new sectors (in preparation of FP7):- Bio-photonics functional components / subassemblies- Environment- Security
In more “traditional sectors”:- IP on low-cost communication components (access)- Sources (compactness, brightness, tunability, spectral purity)
Plus:- STREPs with medium- to long-term exploitation- Encouraging new member/candidate states and SMEs- Specific Support Actions for roadmaps, dissemination, coordination

Experience from previous calls
• Clearly defined and well focused objectives ?
• Progress beyond state-of-the-art ?
- No quantified specs for the proposed device/component !- No intermediate targets !- Hey, too easy, some key parameters are missing !
- Can’t assess: no commitment for some key parameters !- State-of the art is not described !- Naïve specs !- It is more development than research !- Nice, but not scalable !
Example: S&T Excellence
H. Rajbenbach
• Exploitation and/or dissemination plans adequate ?- Too vague - Starts too late- No dissemination plan, besides “they will publish” !- All deliverables are confidential !

WP + Calls
Communication “Building our common future: Policy challenges and Budgetary means of the Enlarged Union 2007-2013" (10/02/04)
Beyond FP6: FP7 (2007 - 2010)
• Research (as never before) is high on the political agenda – Commission’s proposal in the Financial Perspectives is to increase
research budget by at least x2
• First communications on FP7 should reinforce the Commission’s proposal in the New Financial Perspectives
• The decision on the New Financial perspectives will progress in parallel to the FP7 decision process
FP7 context
• The Union Priorities for 2007-2013: Achieving the Lisbon goals
– Sustainable development (competitiveness, cohesion and sustainable management and protection of natural resources)
– European citizenship (freedom, justice, security, access to basic public goods)– Europe as a global partner (role on the international scene)
• ICT has an essential role in achieving these priorities
– ICT for sustainable growth / productivity– ICT for security– ICT for solidarity …
ICT context
5 major themes:- Research grants to individual teams (basic research)- Collaborative Research (Business as usual)- Private/Public partnership (Technology Platforms)- Strengthening Research capacities
(infrastructures + human capital)- Co-ordination of national/regional programmes
Budget: Significant increase:FP4 (1994-1998): 13 B€FP5 (1998-2002): 15 B€FP6 (2002-2006): 17 B€FP7 (2007-2010): 34 B€

x 2(“mini-Moore’s law”)
• Support to Basic Research through Individual Grants– Stimulating competition
• Excellence as a major criterion for selection– No “juste retour” !
• Light administration needed – Outsourcing to an executive agency, potential ERC ?
Research grants to individual teams
• Implemented through “European Technology Platforms (ETPs)”
– bring together the main stakeholders in a research and development field
– develop a strategic research agenda and a roadmap to achieve these goals
– stakeholders include industry, academia and the investors in research (public or private)
• Issues to clarify :
– Criteria for selecting ETPs– Legal and financial mechanisms that can be used to support an ETP– Constituency to be involved and openness of an ETP– How to launch an ETP– How many ETPs can we realistically support
Private/Public partnership
• ICT is a main tool to support Community policy priorities:– Sustainable growth:
• ICT provides 50% of productivity growth in Europe and all main OECD countries– Cohesion and Citizenship:
• Better services of general interest, Better participation in democracy and public life– Europe’s role on the international scene:
• Key for ensuring citizens security
• ICT is not sufficient, ICT research is essential
• We should also realise that ICT has evolved – It is increasingly combined with other fields– To develop solutions that integrate ICT with other technologies– To address new fields: e.g. Bio-nano-cogno..
Conclusion: ICT is evolving...
