Ireland in the ICT Programme: 91 projects
Call 1 Call 2 Call 3* Call 4 Overall
Global 17.3% 16.4% 8.5% 20.2% 15%
Ireland 20.4% 20.6% 6.8% 23.4% 19%
* Call 3 was a direct repeat of call 1 – hence very large number of proposals and poor success rate
For example: WIT, Tyndall/UCC, NUIG, UL, DCU, TCD, UCD, NUIM, RCSI, CIT, Intel, Lake, Ericsson, IBM, Google, Cyntelix, Datel, Incoras, Risaris, Symantec, Synopsys, MAC, Red Hat, Eblana, Firecomms, Biosensia
…overall funding of ~ €32m of which ~€12m to industry

ICT Call 5 - €367 million budget for Challenge 1 Global: 574 proposals – ??? funded projects Ireland: large volume of activity in this Call!!!!
Take a look at Ireland’s participation in the 2007-2008 ICT Work Programme at http://www.fp7ireland.com/Page.aspx?SP=96
Take home messages
Challenge 1 is a strong area for Ireland 32 out of 93 funded projects, €13.6 million out of ~ €32 million funding
But only 3 of the projects have >1 Irish participant Only 3 co-ordinators from Ireland
Use the full programme: fund PIs through the ERC, train mobile researchers (success rates 20-70%), build European infrastructure, act as a research provider to lower tech SMEs; fund your outreach programme
Remember: the FP7 opportunity is growing by €1 billion a year to you need to think big
National Support Network for FP7 Resourced by 12 organisations For ICT talk to Stephen O’Reilly and Gerard Kennedy

Which of these statements is true?
Mopping up local funding has displaced FP activity FP7 is very bureaucratic FP7 success rates are very low Irish companies don’t know how to do it FP7 is for researchers outside the PRTLI/SFI fold
…none of the above
