system
 Giving information and advice about FP5/6
 In every country - partners can ask for
information in their own country!
 Building bridges between Brussels and the
research society
 Giving support with finding partners

Size Integrated Project
24 Million Euro for 4 years
20 Million Euro for personnel
1 researcher = 80000 Euro per year
20 Million Euro = 250 research years
Project 4 year: 62,5 researchers per year!!!!

Relevance to the objectives of the
programme
 addressing the scientific, technical, socioeconomic and policy objectives
-
Objective “Lisbon”:
to allow the Union becoming the most dynamic and most
competitive knowledge-based economy within 10 years
-
Objective “Göteborg”:
sustainable development
(environment, economy, employment)
-
ERA: …Integrating, reinforcing, structuring

Example topic from priority 3 NMP
 Mastering chemistry and creating new processing
pathways for multifunctional materials - IP; NE; STREP;
CA
 The overall objective is to maintain and extend
Europe’s lead in chemical technologies, building on
skills and respecting the environment, and also to
provide benefits in other intermediary and end-user
sectors. RTD objectives should include, among
others, new strategies and optimisation of chemical
reactivity and catalysis, development of supramolecular and macromolecular engineering, product
formulation, new solvent routes, chemistry and new
synthesis routes for eco-materials

Integration is key in Priority 3 for...
Structuring ERA:
RTD organisations,
Industry, Services, Users
& funding sources
Strategic objectives:
leadership, cost-effectiveness, added
value, sustainable growth, health &
safety, cleaner environment, etc.
Complementary activities:
demos, education, training,
information exchange with users,
dissemination, legal & financial
environment, IPR, etc
Innovation
Research:
on enabling & hybrid
technologies, i.e. design &
engineering, clean
technologies, materials
science, social sciences,
nanotechnology, etc

Potential Impact
 Suitably ambitious in terms of its strategic impact
on reinforcing competitiveness or on solving
societal problems
 Optimal use of the project results
 Clear added value in carrying out the work at
European level

Scientific and Technological
excellence
 Clearly defined objectives
 the objective represent clear progress beyond the
current state-of-the-art
 The proposed S&T approach is likely to enable
the project to achieve its objectives in research
and innovation

Quality of the consortium
 The participants collectively constitute a
consortium of high quality
 Participants well suited and committed to the
tasks assigned to them
 Good complementarity
 Profiles of partners clearly described
 Opportunity of involving SME’s has been
adequately addressed
- YOU NEED MOTIVATED PARTNERS

Quality of the management
 The organisational structure is well-matched to
the complexity of the project and to the degree of
integration required
 Project management is demonstrably of high
quality
 Satisfactory plan for the management of
knowledge,of intellectual property and of other
innovation related activities

Mobilisation of resources
 Consortium mobilises the critical mass of
resources (personnel, equipment, finance….)
 Resources are convincingly integrated to form a
coherent project
 The overall financing plan for the project is
adequate.
