Defines the evaluation and selection criteria
– –
common set derived from the rules for participation additional criteria depending on objectives
Defines the terms of the calls for proposals
– –
objectives to be called for distribution of budget between old and new instruments
Updated as appropriate

The strategic objectives: what do they describe?
=> Topics addressed by Strategic Objectives !
For each objective, the WP:
Defines the goals to be achieved with RTD in Europe
Focuses on the parts that need to be addressed with the EU effort Provides guidance on the types of instruments that need to be supported
Identifies the links with member-states activities Identifies links with policies, e.g. eEurope,..

IST in FP6: Objectives
Strengthening Europe’s competitiveness & technology base
Building the information and knowledge society for ALL Establishing Europe’s leadership in the technologies at the heart of the knowledge economy and society
IST in FP6: Strategy
Concentration and focus, building critical mass
Visionary, forward looking research
Strong articulation between research and policy objectives
Flexibility and greater speed in implementation 8

Framework Program: Instruments
Integrated Projects (IP)
Networks of Excellence (NoE)
Targeted research projects (STREP)
Co-ordination actions (CA)
Specific Support Actions (SSA)
Article 169 9
Purpose of Integrated Projects (IP)
Designed to generate the knowledge the priority thematic areas of FP6 required to implement
–
by integrating the needed critical mass
–
to achieve ambitious, technological objectives clearly of activities and defined resources scientific and
Essentially an instrument for supporting research of a European dimension objective-driven 10
Meaning of integration in IPs
Each IP should comprise a coherent set of component parts
Internal architecture may vary depending on topic, scope and managerial approach of each IP
Forms of integration:
– – – –
“vertical” - full value chain of stakeholders “horizontal” - multidisciplinarity “sectoral” - private/public “financial” - synergy with other schemes (EIB, Eurêka) 11
Activities
Activities integrated by a project may cover the full research spectrum
– – – –
objective-driven research (long term & risky allowed) technological development and demonstration as appropriate may contain training effective management of knowledge is essential (e.g.
patents, … ) dissemination,
– – –
take-up measures can be included societal impact studies possible the whole carried out in a coherent management framework 12
Network of Excellence (NoE): Objectives
Strengthen Europe’s excellence topic
–
on a particular research by integrating the critical mass of expertise needed to provide European leadership and be a world force
–
around a joint programme of activities
Tackling the fragmentation of European research
–
where the main deliverable is a durable structuring and shaping of how research is carried out in Europe
Spreading excellence beyond its partners 13
NoE: The joint program of activities (1)
Integrating activities
– – – – – –
coordinated programming of the partners’ activities sharing of research platforms/tools/facilities joint management of the knowledge portfolio staff mobility and exchanges relocation of staff, teams, equipment reinforced electronic communication systems 14
NoE: The joint program of activities (2)
Joint research activities: a programme of joint research to support the network’s goals
–
development of new research tools and platforms for common use
–
generating new knowledge to fill gaps in or to extend the collective knowledge portfolio 15
NoE: The joint program of activities (3)
Activities to spread excellence
– – –
training researchers and other key staff dissemination and communication activities networking activities to help transfer knowledge to teams external to the network
–
where appropriate, promoting the exploitation of the results generated within the network
–
where appropriate, innovation-related activities 16
NoE: The joint program of activities (4)
Network management
– – –
overall coordination of the joint activities communication with the Commission, reporting activities linked to consortium-level financing and accounting management and legal issues
–
coordination of the knowledge management activities, if appropriate, other innovation-related activities
– – –
promotion of gender equality science and society issues supporting the governing board and other network bodies 17
Traditional Instrument: STREP
“ Specific Targeted Research Project ”
Targeted, well defined and precisely focused research and technological development
Demonstration component(s) as appropriate
Project management equivalent to the projects in FP5 18
Traditional Instrument: CA
“ Co-ordination Action ”
Organisation of conferences;
Performance of studies, analysis;
Exchanges of personnel;
Exchange and dissemination of good practice;
Setting up of common information systems;
Setting up of expert groups;

Traditional Instrument: SSA
“ Specific Support Action ”
Conferences, seminars, working groups and expert groups;
Studies, analysis;
Fact findings and monitoring;
Trans-national technology transfer and take-up related services;
Development of research or innovation strategies;
High level scientific awards and competitions;
Operational support and dissemination, information and communication activities.

VI
Future & Emerging Technologies (FET)
Visionary and exploratory research
Longer-term or high-risk research ‘Nursery’ of novel ideas - trend-setting
Interdisciplinary
Helping new IST-related S&T fields and communities to emerge
Complementary to
– –
other IST strategic objectives other FP6 ‘Anticipating S&T needs / frontier research’ (new fields / multidisciplinary work) 21
VII
Future & Emerging Technologies
Open scheme: openness to unforeseeable ideas
– – –
reflects research trends continuos submission STREP & CA/SSA only
Proactive initiatives : critical mass where focus is needed
– – – – –
strategic vision, common objective fixed deadline calls call topics defined every year IP & NoE only e.g. ‘quantum information processing & communications’ (QIPC), ‘emerging nanoelectronics’ (NID), ‘global computing’ (GC), ‘bio inspired intelligent information systems’ 22
