EoI AnalysisConstituency

• Number of envisaged participants is around 10.000. The trend estimated based on a subset of the analysed EoIs is *:

LargeIndustry

SMEs University ResearchInstitution

Other (Technology Transfer Organisations,Networks, Chambers, etc. )

NAS

16% 21% 34% 14% 15% 8%

• Most EoIs in the work & business ares came from the existing constituency, but there is a significant increase in participation from large companies.

• The shift from short ‘time-to-market’ RTD projects to longer-term/more risky RTD projects seems to attract large companies to the FP.

• The SME constituency is still there.

• The participation of NAS countries has increased, particularly in the e-Government area about 20% of the participants are from the NAS countries.* the statistical figures are not based on precise statistical analysis and should therefore be regarded as

an estimation.


EoI AnalysisInstruments

• Some ‘innovative consortia’ submitting sound, rather mature proposals in relevant research fields focussing on a common “programme” vision and clear strategic objective showing the necessary ambition and critical mass as well as a sound management and scientific project approach holistically integrating the different types of actions.

• Missing link with member states activities and other funding bodies.

• NoEs do not show how the Joint Programme of Activities lead to a lasting Common Programme of RTD.

• Part of the proposers still had difficulties in perceiving the differences between IP/NoE and the traditional FP5 projects.

• For some proposers, an IP is a collection of ‘traditional’ projects or the combination of R&D projects and accompanying measures (RTD projects extended on a larger scale to build up clusters around a common interest/opportunity/problem).

• A major effort should also be devoted to explain better the concept of NoE.


Focus• Advanced sensors, communications & highly

dependable software for on-board safety • Distributed intelligent agents, secure

communications & advanced positioning & mapping technologies for location-based services
