European Technology Platforms

http://cordis.europa.eu/technology-platforms/home_en.html

What are they Industry-led public-private partnerships that bring together industry, research community and public authorities in areas of strategic economic importance for Europe

Objective World class performance in research and innovation in ICT by closing the gap with Europe’s leading competitors

Focus on user value and end-to-end solutions, on convergence, innovation, standards, interoperability, spectrum, IPRs, international cooperation

joining the future

NESSI

http://www.nessi-europe.com

Aims to develop a visionary strategy for Software and Services driven by a common Strategic Research Agenda where innovation and business strengths are reinforced.

Expected impact:• standardisation, common service platform open standards• improve EU competitiveness in S&S• reduce sector fragmentation and align R&D efforts• openness: an open initiative mobilising SMEs, academia and industry• address key R&D and policy challenges in S&S

Funding rules

• General rule– 50% for research, technology development,

and demonstration activities– 100% for management and training

• Same for SMEs (and non-profit orgs), but– 75% for research and technology development

• 60% flat rate for indirect costs• No more 7% limit of management• Guarantee Fund

http://cordis.europa.eu/fp7/participation.htm

Evaluations and selection

• Evaluation procedure similar to FP6• Number of criteria reduced to 3

– S/T quality• Clarity of objectives and quality of the concept

– Impact• Contribution at the European level towards the

expected impacts listed under the relevant topic/activity

• Broader beneficial impacts related to the objectives of the theme

– Implementation• Appropriateness of the management structure

and procedures• Quality and relevant experience of the individual

participants
