Size Integrated Project

24 Million Euro for 4 years 20 Million Euro for personnel1 researcher = 80000 Euro per year20 Million Euro = 250 research years

Project 4 year: 62,5 researchers per year!!!!


Relevance to the objectives of the programme

addressing the scientific, technical, socio-economic 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 supra-molecular and macromolecular engineering, product formulation, new solvent routes, chemistry and new synthesis routes for eco-materials


Structuring ERA:

RTD organisations, Industry, Services, Users & funding sources

Integration is key in Priority 3 for...

Strategic objectives:

leadership, cost-effectiveness, added value, sustainable growth, health & safety, cleaner environment, etc.

Research:

on enabling & hybrid technologies, i.e. design &

engineering, clean technologies, materials

science, social sciences, nanotechnology, etc

Complementary activities:

demos, education, training, information exchange with users, dissemination, legal & financial

environment, IPR, etc

Time


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.
