Exploring synergies between neurosciences and information technologies

Enable the construction of artefacts that “live and grow”:self-adapt and evolve beyond pure programming

Demonstrate adaptability and growth in the real world Do not simply extrapolate from already established

research fields, such as neural networks or genetic algorithms

Joint call with DG-RESEARCH (Life Sciences)

Forms of adaptation– evolution

• bootstrap from initial design : evolution vs. engineering

• beyond pre-defined tasks

– learning

Systems v Components– Too often we focus on components, leaving to others to build

systems

Complexity / Self organisation– In hardware

– In networks

– In applications

Knowledge from uncertainty

The atomic/molecular scale– Alternative means of fabrication

– Alternative ways of computing

Mastering the atoms

Merging of the “made” and the “born”

Proposal evaluationProposal evaluationProposal evaluationProposal evaluation


Proposal structureProposal structure

Part A - Administrative information (of this part, only some budget information shown to evaluators)

Part B - Scientific and technological description

(for RTD & Demo projects, written “anonymously”)

Part C - Policy issues, participants’ roles and qualifications


Three important conceptsThree important concepts

Eligibility – formal/legal eligibility requirements (deadline, ..)

– general eligibility requirement (ethics, scope, ..)

Evaluation criteria – Scoring against five FP5 criteria (0-5 each, threshold to be achieved in

cases)

Score– A weighted score will be calculated for a preliminary ranking order to be

discussed in evaluation panel

– An overall score 0 - 5 will be finally given to each proposal


EligibilityEligibility

1. The Commission first checks formal eligibility:– timely receipt

– eligible consortium

– format, completeness and anonymity of Part B

Non-eligible proposals do not go into evaluation

– scope, right Area, cross Area/Programme issues

2. Evaluators advise on general eligibility/relevance:– scope

– ethical principles

– in line with Community policy

Proposals found to be ineligible drop out of the evaluation


Evaluation criteriaEvaluation criteria

1. Scientific/technological quality and innovation – assessed by reading only Part B of proposal (anonymous)

2. Community added value and contribution to EC policies

3. Contribution to Community social objectives

4. Economic development and S&T prospects– assessed by reading Part C of proposal or Part B for FET-Open short

proposals

5. Resources, partnership and management– assessed by reading Part C of proposal and with budgetary information from

Part A

No other criteria come into consideration!


Follow up to EvaluationFollow up to Evaluation

• Evaluation Report (based on panel reports)• Implementation Plan

List of proposals that can start negotiation within the budgetShort list of proposals on reserveList of proposals satisfying minimum requirements but not retainedList of proposals that are ineligible or below thresholds

• Consultation with other policy DGs, approval by Director General• Discussion of results in Management Committee (ISTC)• Information to consortia (ESR)• Commission decision on rejected proposals• Invitation to consortia for negotiation

negotiation forms, guidelines, schedule,...• Information to consortia in reserve list (if any)• Contract negotiations• ISTC opinion on negotiated projects (in some cases)• Commission decision on projects, commitment of budget• Contract preparation and signature
