Workprogram in FP6Workprogram in FP6
Provides further details on …the Scientific and technical content of the calls
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– every year for IST

The strategic objectives: what The strategic objectives: what do they describe?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: ObjectivesIST 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: StrategyIST 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

Designed to generate the knowledge required to implement the priority thematic areas of FP6– by integrating the critical mass of activities and resources
needed
– to achieve ambitious, clearly defined scientific and technological objectives
Essentially an instrument for supporting objective-driven research of a European dimension
Purpose of Integrated Projects (IP)Purpose of Integrated Projects (IP)
11
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)
Meaning of integration in IPsMeaning of integration in IPs
12
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. dissemination, patents, … )
– take-up measures can be included
– societal impact studies possible
– the whole carried out in a coherent management framework

13
Network of Excellence (NoE): ObjectivesNetwork of Excellence (NoE): Objectives
Strengthen Europe’s excellence on a particular research topic– 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
14
NoE: The joint program of activities (1)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
15
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
NoE: The joint program of activities (2)NoE: The joint program of activities (2)
16
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
NoE: The joint program of activities (3)NoE: The joint program of activities (3)
17
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

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’
