Las ideas no duran mucho. Hay que hacer algo con ellas.Santiago Ramón y Cajal

Turning Client Vision into Results2

Objectives of the presentation

• Why am I here? Role of ATOS ORIGIN in ETPs• What is an ETP (European Technology Platform)?

– Rational and objectives of an ETP (the “WHAT”)

– Steps to be taken (the “HOW”)• Current situation on ETPs with synergies with

“Collaborative Working Environments”– The PRESENT: eMobility, ENIAC, ARTEMIS– The FUTURE: S3, NEM

• Collaborative Working Environments. Is it a challenge for a potential ETP?

What is an ETP?

• When is an ETP created?– An ETP (industry-driven) is created when industry observes:

• (+) an industry need/challenge

• (-) an industry concern

What is an ETP?

• ETP is an autonomous entity, industry-led, and industry-driven. Contribution from public partners and academia are welcome

• ETP is made for agreeing on research agenda that will drive to business (company’s target) and EU target (growth, jobs, competitiveness)

• ETP is *NOT* an instrument of the European Commission• Several contributors may support the existence of

platforms: (EC, MS, private banks, companies)• Ways of contribution by EC:

– Joint undertaking (art. 171)– Assisted presence in IP, NoEs, STREPs

• Ways of contribution by MS:– National research programmes– Art 169 (uncertainty)

STEPS for an ETP

1. STAKEHOLDERS GETTING TOGETHER1. Governance structure: roles and responsibilities2. Identification of the core group3. Identification of extended group of partners

• Industry• Public Authorities (mirror groups)• Research Institutes and Academia• Financial community• Civil society, including users

2. DEFINITION OF AN RTD AGENDA in accordance with Lisbon Agenda and providing great IMPACT.– Vision Document– SRA: Strategic Research Agenda

• RTD priorities• Timeframes• Budgets

3. RESEARCH IMPLEMENTATION– Article 171– Joint Technology Initiative– Search for other Financial sources

CWE, potential ETP?

• Current platforms are based on two different approaches:– (1) Technology-driven (centered on a specific technology or group of

technologies without any specific application domain)– (2) Sector-based (main driver is the application domain, addressing an

area of great IMPACT for Europe from a concrete point of view)

• Examples of both kinds:– (1) eMobility (mobile and wireless), ENIAC (nanoelectronics); ARTEMIS

(embedded systems)...– (2) Global animal health, Rail research, road transport, photovoltaics,

steel, future textiles, future manufacturing technologies, construction..

• Collaborative working environments have not been addressed as such, but: IS THERE A REAL POTENTIAL FOR AN ETP?

– In terms of technologies?– In terms of sectors?

Thank you!
