• Focused on Greening of Aeronautics
• Europe’s largest Aeronautics Research Programme ever
• €1.6B value, split 50/50 between the Commission (cash) and Industry (in kind)
• Start February 2008; running up to 2017
• €650 m invested to date (September 2011)
• A new way of delivering R&T
• Integrated, ‘thematic’ set-up
• Large scale and complex testing, evaluation and demonstration (up to TRL6)
• Open Calls for engaging partners in delivering the roadmap
• Industry founders and Commission working as equity partners
