ELIKO
Smart Space Solutions - SSS (human/machine interactive support systems) is an interdisciplinary R&D topic to create environments for telemedicine, (robotics supported) comfort living and urban services, energy saving, safety services.
SSS R&D area is extremely wide. The ELIKO's research is contributing in SSS advancement in following subtopics:
1. Sensing and communication in embedded Smart Space Networks:
1.1 Sensors and wideband processing of sensor signals
1.2 Embedded smart space network components
2. Smart Space Services:
2.1 Contextual information and semantic profiles
2.2 Test, verification and diagnosis of distributed and embedded systems

Impact to the Estonian economy
• Help to restructure Estonian IT and Electronic industry from subcontracting based services to more value-added and knowledge intensive products;
• Creation the new jobs in ELIKO and partners companies (at least 500 new jobs); • Added-value per employee increase at least 50% in the partners companies; • The increasing adaption of the environment friendly technologies (lighting control,
etc);• The creation of spin-off companies (as the result of the first period two companies
could be founded: RFID applications and street lighting regulation and control). During next period, at least three are estimated.
• The increasing popularity of technology development as highly motivated employment (average salary in CC program 32000 EEK, in Smartmuseum 58000 EEK).
• Involvement at least 25 PhD and 40 MSc students to the research program (during the period 2005-2009 respectively 14 and 21 was involved);
• In co-operation with other CCs creating new business areas and applications (cluster initiatives “Bio & IT” together with Cancer Research CC);
• The improvement of the quality and availability of the patient health monitoring at
home and in hospital (co-operation with PERH and ITK).

Projects partners
2004: Only Competence Centre Programme• 4 scientific partners• 7 industrial partners• 8 Competence Centre Programme projects• Average 2 Industrial partners and 1 scientific partner per project• Annual average budget 100000 EUR per project• Not any EU projects & commercial projects
2009: Mix of CCP, EU projects, commercial projects• 5 scientific partners• 16 industrial partners (2 are left, 3 has come and left, 9 are new)• 4 Competence Centre Programme projects• Average 6 industrial partners and 2 scientific partner per projects• Annual average budget 400000 EUR per project• 4 EU projects• 2 commercial projects

Indicators
ELIKO is moving to:• From separated projects with limited partners to large projects with more
then one scientific partners and many industrial partners• From CCP base centre to the multiple financing source Competence
Centre
Quantitative indicators:• Number of Industrial partners• Number of Scientific partners• Success rate of new EU projects, initiated by ELIKO (we have initiated 5, 2
has been successful)• Number and volume of the other R&D projects
Qualitative indicators:• Scientific value (publications, patents)• Human resources development (MSc and PhD students)• Real IPR business value

Monitoring for EAS
1. Quarterly finance report• Pos. Motivating strictly to follow the budget• Neg. Represent “normal” accounting information in “EAS shape”,
additional work
2. Activity report after every half year• Pos. General overview and summary, incl.:
• Executive summary• Human resource progress• Number of publications and patents• Projects outside Competence Centre Programme• Short overview about projects results
• Neg. Not representing changes and dynamics
3. Mid-term evaluation• Pos. Very comprehensive study• Neg. Not deep understanding local situation and background

Mid-term evaluation
After first 3,5 years, carried out by Technopolis Ltd.:
ELIKO tackles a shifting group of partners and does a mixture of research and advance engineering in quickly changing fields. It suffers from fragmentation and lack of large, stable partner but is nonetheless doing a useful job.
• Summary of the very deep and detailed analysis including all indicators (from the human resources development until the results of business usability).
• Many recommendations, findings and conclusions.
• But not analysed, are the goals achievable or not.
