Build upon EUREKA ENIWEP experience(2005-2010) Positive experiences... firm international contacts & networkingpromotion of new production related technologieslaunching of original project ideasorganisation of research brokering eventspartner search via national & international networks support in using and gearing of different funding programmesdevelop project ideas in real RTDI projectsfeel home in EUREKA organisation, ESE, NPCs

Build upon EUREKA ENIWEP experience ... and learning points: few active partners'inbreeding' because of limited scope: friction, wear and lubricationnarrow scope often limited to niche application areas scope differs from core activities of partnerslimited interaction with other (EUREKA) networks...leading to rather low visibility in EU RTDI landscape

Build upon EUREKA ENIWEP experience But still project generation track record:
* to be taken up in the new E!-SURF action

E!-SURF CHANGE ! Drastic improvements based on:
partners with a direct interest in contract research and other services: technology providers and industrial partners = key actors !
significantly broader technological scope = surface engineering industrial partners are offered a more attractive palette of competences
to provide technological solutions for their challenges intense interaction with other EUREKA networks and beyondimproved monitoring of relevant EU, national and transnational
funding opportunitiesvery relevant societal drivers: resource (materials & energy)
efficiency and sustainable production

E!-SURF mission
to develop new, industrially viable technologies in the field of surface engineering
for implementation in resource efficient, sustainable production and products

Sustainable Production: quid ?

E!-SURF targetPrimary goal = technology transfer and
implemention via the generation of industrial RTDI projects, through:industry demand - technology offer matchmaking monitoring and assistance in research funding oppsinfo through website & e-bulletins, incl. technology
watch, legislation issues, ..partnering and networkingtraining tailored to industry demands

E!-SURF project generation Active involvement by E!-SURF partnersMaking use of EUREKA programmes E!-RTDI & EuroStars, CleanTech
but also other funding opportunities, likeERA NETs: MATERA+, MNT, SME², CORNET, MANUNET.EU framework programmes: NMP, Energy, Environment,
Transport, ... recovery package Factories of the Future and EFFRA, ...
national calls for proposals seeking international collaboration, e.g. Austrian COMET programme
transnational initiatives like the Nordic Innovation Center (NICe)E! and EuroStars projects will be formally registered, 'other' projects
will be registered in own database April 21, 2023 10

mostly in kind from the organisations for dedicated WPs & actions: events, TW, ...
Network partners: mainly ad-hoc in kind contributionsESE support to website, promotion materials, meetings, attendance
at events, ... Main drivers:
contract research and services for the technology providers innovative processes, products & services for the industrial user

E!-SURF milestones & deliverablesMilestones are decision points based on main performance
indicators (PI): # (submitted/granted) projects# active partners
Deliverables are tools to achieve both PIs:matchmaking actionsfunding guidance actionswebsite & e-bulletins actionspartnering/networking actionstraining actionsmeetings/reports

Why join EUREKA & E!-SURF ?NOT for:
direct funding of projectsfunding of tripsconversation group
BUT for:organised network of active partners in surface engineering
facilitating the setting-up of projects facilitating the finding of active partners
EUREKA is a strong brand, much appreciated by industry and governments/funding agencies because of technology transfer focus
EUREKA & EuroStars mechanisms for setting-up projects
