Challenges for Architecture and the Built Environment

Track Record: previous projectsyou have to be able to show that you are a trustworthy academic person to invest a large sum of money in!!

Build:-Academic publication list-Track record of working in academic consortia (use academic conferences to initiate seeds of academic cooperation (co-publication)

-Track record of working in public private consortia

Keep Eye on long term goalDo not expect:

-Instant succes normal succesrate between 5% - 40%

-Call for projects that exactly fits your ideal research proposal

180 ° turnaroundEvery application for funding requires fine-tuning towards the goals of that specific funding instrument

-Funding based on idea developed outside of societal context

Working alongside industry will be requiredThink from building sector persepctive

Research Themes for BK

Currently not that many grant programs especially on architecture/building/city planning that fit existing research ideas.

Use it or lose it !!

1.Use of existing programs by TUD research can be optimized!2. Put new ‘coat’ on current research

Simultaneously:TUD is making an effort to stress the scientific and societal value of this type of research -> In future more dedicated grant schemes could become available. Example: Current crisis-measures EU: emphasis on built environment

Intelligent Energy Europe• Consisting of several sub programs of which:

• Energy efficiency and rational use of resources (SAVE), including:

improving energy efficiency and the rational use of energy, in particular in the building and industry sectors;

supporting the preparation and application of legislative measures.

INTERREGIONAL COOPERATIONThe INTERREG IV C programme enables EU regions to work together and is

structured around two priorities, which address: innovation and the knowledge economy, and environment and risk prevention. 3 networking programmes:

• The URBACT II programme brings together actors at local and regional level to exchange experience and to facilitate learning on urban policy themes. The programme supports thematic networks and working groups between cities, conferences and the development of tools.

• The "European Spatial Planning Observation Network" (ESPON) provides scientific information for the development of regions and larger territories through applied research, analysis and tools.

• The INTERACT II programme provides training, services and tools to programme managers and administrators of co-operation programmes in order to improve the management of these programmes.

Jointly with the URBACT II programme, the INTERREG IVC programme is the main vehicle for the EU initiative ‘Regions for Economic Change’ which is designed to support regional and urban networks in developing and spreading best practice in economic modernisation. The most innovative projects can compete for the annual RegioStars award.

What does it take to get EU funding?

• Does your research idea FITS the call or needs of the EU? Apply to the right program and the right call!

• An excellent European network, partnership or consortium

• A track record in international research• Help from Faculty/university support staff• Don’t be afraid to fail, try again, become

partner first or a reviewer, to learn
