ERA-NET scheme
The ERA-NET scheme was introduced under FP6
to support the networking of research funding organisations (programme owners and
managers e.g. government ministries and
research councils) to develop and strengthen
the coordination of national research
programmes.

Animal Health ERA-NET
• This ERA-NET will help to coordinate national
research activities and identify common research
programmes and will, thus, fight fragmentation and
exploit synergies between such programmes.
12
12
Scope of EMIDA
The scope of the project will include emerging and
major infectious diseases of production animals,
including fish and bees and including those
conditions which pose a threat to human health
but excluding food safety issues relating to
livestock products and diseases of wildlife,
except where they act as a reservoir of infection
for humans and animals.

22
22
WP4 - b
• To develop a common strategic research agenda
based on shared priorities to be taken forward by a
sustainable coordination network (SCAR CWG) in
the longer term by means of jointly funded
programmes

Models for project funding:Common Pot
Each country provides funds into a real ‘pot’ in a single bank account; the
best projects resulting from a call are funded regardless of the nationality of
the researchers involved. There is a trans-national flow of funds.

Models for project funding:
Non-competitive consortia
A topic is divided between research groups; research
suppliers are selected by each partner according to their expertise. Each country pays its own researchers; results
are pooled together by mutual agreement. Such projects are
non-competitive. No trans-national flow of funds.

European Technology Platforms -
background • Introduced under FP6 as a way of trying to lever more
industry funding into research and towards achieving the Lisbon Agenda/Barcelona Objective of 3% EU GDP into research by 2010.
• ETPs are, therefore, led by industry to define the
research agenda on “strategically important issues with high societal relevance, where achieving Europe’s future growth, competitiveness and sustainability objectives is dependant upon major research and technological
advances in the medium to long term”.
32
32
ETPs – background (continued)
Novel instrument of the ERA policy in areas of high technological potential to
• Strengthen European research and innovation and
ensure European competitiveness
• Articulate coherent long term research policiesrepresenting a consensus between all stakeholders
• Mobilise a critical mass of European, national and
regional resources comprising both public and private financing

ETP Global Animal HealthThe Vision: Aim
To facilitate and accelerate the development and distribution of the most effective tools for controlling animal diseases of major importance to Europe and the rest of the world,thereby improving human and animal health, food safety and quality, animal welfare, and market access, contributing to achieving the Millennium Development Goals.”
35
35
ETP Global Animal HealthThe Strategic Research Agenda
The SRA defines, in a very broad sense,
the research necessary to deliver the Vision.
SRA has 2 overarching objectives:-
• to deliver new and improved tools for the control of major diseases and
• to deliver the recommendations in the SRA which in turn will facilitate the development and delivery of new tools

Action Plan
1. Identify and prioritise the diseases of importance.
2. Assess the gaps in the knowledge and understanding of these diseases
3. Evaluate the gaps in the availability of products
4. Identify where research needs to be targeted
5. Select priority diseases
6. Identify the research needed to fill the gaps in knowledge
7. Actions needed to develop new and improved tools for control of those diseases.
38

ETP Global Animal HealthAction plan
The Action plan serves to provide an input for:-
• Future EC Framework Programmes which will involve close cooperation with EC, Member States and European Parliament representatives.
• Future national research programmes where it will provide better opportunities to align and coordinate national programmes
• Public/private research partnerships exploring ways to develop an integrated approach to developing new tools to control animal diseases.
• Industry which has an important role working in partnership to develop new products, which can be delivered in the field.

DISCONTOOLS (Development of the most effective tools to control infectious
diseases in animals)
Is a continuation of the ETPGAH• To carry out work on Disease Prioritisation, Gap Analysis and
the use of New Technologies in the field of animal health research.
• The project is anticipated to last for 4 years.
• A start date of 1 January 2008 is most likely
• IFAH-Europe has put in a bid for € 978,660
• Contributes to the primary objective: enable research to be
optimised by public and private funders in a more effective manner
to enable new and improved tools to be developed and delivered
for the control of the major infectious diseases of animals including
zoonoses.
40
40
DISCONTOOLS
• ERA-Net, DISCONTOOLS & the ETPGAH should co-ordinate closely to achieve the common objectives of increasing the efficiency of the research effort
• A coherent EU wide funding policy will ensure the best use of limited resources
• The Prioritisation model being developed must be stakeholder
driven to ensure support
