43

To boost competitiveness or to address major societal needs To generate knowledge applicable to products, processes or

services Clearly defined technical objectives Research activities may be complemented by demonstration,

innovation & training activities High level of management autonomy Implemented through overall financing plans Integrated :

“vertical” - full value chain of stakeholders “horizontal” – multi-disciplinary “sectorial” - private/public “financial” - synergy with other schemes (EIB, Eureka) “activities” – research, demonstration, training, take-up, …

euro but no minimum threshold

Duration typically 3 to 5 years

Partnership minimum of 3 participants from 3 different Member or

Associated States at least 2 Member States or Associated candidate countries

The average annual grant to a network could vary with the number of researchers as follows:

50 researchers € 1 million/year 100 researchers € 2 million/year 150 researchers € 3 million/year 250 researchers € 4 million/year 500 researchers € 5 million/year 1000 researchers and above € 6 million/year

(for intermediate numbers, the grant would be calculated by linear interpolation)

A network of 200 researchers supported over 5 yearswould therefore receive a fixed grant of € 17,5 million(plus 4 k€/yr bonus for registered doctoral students)


49

Stairway to Excellence

Specific targeted research projects To improve competitiveness Need to be sharply focussed

organizations for a specific purpose - no requirement for durable integration of all activities

A networking instrument for research funded from e.g. EC, national or regional sources


52

Rules for participation

'Grant for integration' for NoE & 'Grant to overall budget’ for IP & Stairway

= use your own national accounting rules, instead of 'eligible costs'
