Call 5 - Topical coverage

H. Rajbenbach InfoDay Madrid 17-May-05

Call 5 – Photonics - Focus

Manufacturing technologies and device concepts

Photonic systems on chip - communications (signal processing, wavelength manipulation) - Healthcare (bio-photonic sensors

Advanced components for optical networksLow-cost components for broadband access

Advance sources (SC, organic, fiber sources):- Compactness, tunability and spectral purity- Solid-state lighting for ICT aplications

H. Rajbenbach

Hybrid and monolithic integration for:- greater device functionality- Reduced cost and size- Reduced power consumption


Call 5 - Photonics - Instruments

Integrated Projects (65 % of budget):- Biophotonics functional components and subassemblies- Low cost communication components- Advance source technologies for multiple aplications

Application-driven and medium-term exploitation

STREPS (35 % of budget): Medium- to long-term exploitation

CAs/SSAs- Roadmaps, coordination- Access to components for education, validation, standardization

And … encouraging new member/candidate states and SMEs

Resources

Experience from previous callsInfoDay Madrid 17-May-05

• Clearly defined and well focused objectives ?

• Progress beyond state-of-the-art ?

- No quantified specs for the proposed device/component !- No intermediate targets at mid-term !- Hey, too easy, some key parameters are missing !

- Can’t assess: no commitment for some key parameters !- State-of the art is not described, neither starting point !…

S&T Excellence


• S&T approach to achieve the objectives ?

- Nice, but is the technology scalable ?

- Interesting, but not manufacturable in a foreseeable future !

- No risk assessment and back-up options !

…

S&T Excellence (cont’)


• Exploitation and/or dissemination plans adequate ?

• Clear added value to carry out work at European level ?

- Too vague - Starts too late- No dissemination plan, besides “they will publish” !- All deliverables are confidential !- Vague industrial & academic exploitation routes/plans!

- No demonstrated complementarity beyond one country !- Topic already supported in Eureka/Medea…

one cannot distinguish the added value here !

Potential Impact


• Collectively a consortium of high quality ?

• Participants well suited and committed to their tasks?

- Too dominated by one partner, and they can do it alone !- Individually very good,

but WPx reinvents the wheel ( done everyday at xx !)

- I do not understand what this partner is doing !- This partner is just here to observe and exploit the IP !- This partner intends to exploit,

but no continuous role to guide/specify !

H. Rajbenbach

Quality of the Consortium


• Project management of high quality ?

- Management will have no authority to enforce decisions !

Anyway, the decisions come too late !

- No procedure to resolve conflicts or make choice !!

(if no consensus, how will they decide ?)

- Too many non-converging parallel activities !

- No Gantt chart

- No links between workpackages with decision points !

- No feedback between WPs to improve device performance!
